How Wellness Became Big Business in America
JLL Real Views | October 26, 2018
During a '60 Minutes' segment on health in 1979, anchor Dan Rather said, "'Wellness': there's a word you don't hear every day." Four decades later, the word is ingrained into the paces of modern life, from a spirulina-infused smoothie in the morning, to an evening sound-healing session at the office, offered as part of a corporate wellness program. "Wellness went from a niche concern – something 'granola' – to something that is mainstream," says Carl Muhlstein, who leads a landlord agency leasing team at JLL. With mass appeal comes mass profit. The wellness industry is now valued at US$4.2 trillion, having grown 12.8 perce...

Word of advice: it will only get worse for those pursuing a rigid spa menu of services and activities. Spa just isn't a universally powerful guest magnet anymore, in part because of the sheer number of spas, in part because a "been there, done that" indifference has spread across many potential guests when they think about a spa vacation. Wellness is a powerful magnet - it's new, there's major buzz, and many swear by its benefits. That's why for those ...

Beyond Spa – Embrace the Wellness Revolution
Babs Harrison | June 8, 2018
By Babs Harrison Spa directors are in a funk. Many see declining bookings and just about all see diminished buzz but face reality: the pendulum has swung and the spa that had been so in maybe 10 years ago now is plummeting towards obsolescence. There's a stampede of guests occurring - just not for the same-old spa services. Smart properties already are enjoying boom times. That's the boldfaced message in a New York Times story by reporter Elaine Glusac headlined "Your Next Trip Might Change Your Life." Once upon a time, a pampering vacation involving lots of massages, some Sanskrit chanting, a twirl of a crystal, an...
