This presentation summarizes data from the Global Spa and Wellness Summit 2014 in Marrakech, Morocco. It reports that the wellness industry accounts for one in every 11 jobs, 11% of total global GDP, and 9% of investment, and it is still growing. Data from SRI International shows the wellness industry generated $3.4 trillion in global revenue in 2013 and is projected to grow to $4.2 trillion by 2017. Examples of innovative wellness facilities, including pop-up spas, container spas, and airport spas, are also presented.
