SPAS
Spas are the most frequented and sought-after destination, thanks to the feel-good factor they engender. Mineral springs in ancient times were renowned for their therapeutic values, especially in Rome where hundreds of Roman baths did double duty as bath houses and health centres.
Over time, resorts and accommodation mushroomed around these springs where people congregated. However, at this stage these spas were still strictly therapeutic. Gradually, more and more people started thronging these spas to tackle stress and lifestyle-related disorders.
Where there were no natural springs, canny entrepreneurs built mind-body rejuvenation centres and fitted them with modern gadgets. And voila! the modern spa was born.
Today, many good salons across the world offer a day spa facility — with or without wet services (Jacuzzi-sauna-steam) — as people are scrunched for time to visit a real spa. Here, they can detox, de-stress and rejuvenate themselves without bothering to leave town.
