PKF Consulting USA Reports Healthy Hotel Guests Drive Spa Revenues and Profits

  




Boston, MA, Oct. 21, 2013– While U.S. hotel guests are curbing their appetite for hotel restaurants and room service, they appear to be expressing a desire for pampering and wellness.

 For the second consecutive year, hotel spa revenues and profits have increased at a pace greater than other non-rooms department sources of hotel revenue. 

According to the recently released 2013 edition of PKF Consulting USA, LLC’s (PKFC) Trends® in the Hotel Spa Industry report, spa department revenue increased by 5.0 percent at the properties in the survey sample. 

  For reference purposes, this compares favorably to the 2.3 percent increase in food and beverage revenue, the second largest source of revenue for most hotel.

 “Due to its historical stigma as a luxurious amenity, spa revenue initially lagged behind the growth of other revenue sources during the early stages of the recovery,” said Andrea Foster, vice president and national director of spa and wellness consulting for PKFC. 

“However, the 2012 increase in spa revenue is a trend we anticipated would occur.  There has been a notable focus shift to wellness, specifically taking better care of ourselves for improved health and quality of life, of which spas are an important part.”
