As a business project, the creation of a Spa implies penetrating a market, creating a profitable business, managing people and adapting to specific marketing, administrative and regulatory demands. 
In order to help you grasp the intricate Spa market, KPMG offers you a preview of the 2010 ‘‘Spa figures in France’’, on page 74. The creation of Spas is increasing, and the growing number of Spa customers is more experienced and want to be rejuvenated.  Spas draw their inspiration from ancient therapeutic knowledge which serves inner wellbeing and universal beauty, as illustrated in the article page 62, ‘‘Mineral Water Spa’’.  New concepts are also emerging and you will discover one of them on page 44, ‘‘be by – the birth of an eco-responsible concept’’.
