Hotel spas down in 2010 but making a recovery this year
The recession led to hotel spa services suffering a 10.5 drop in revenues last year, reported PKF Consulting USA.
"PKF found that hotel spas experienced deeper declines in revenue and profits than did hotels, as measured by revenue per available room, or RevPAR," wrote the New Mexico Business Weekly.
The hospitality industry as a whole showed signs of a rebound in late 2010 nationwide, PKF reported, but hotel spa operations have been lagging behind that trend.
Resort hotel spas dropped the most, by 13.6 percent, according to the PKF report.
