The Monaco Spa Event, the exclusive event for leading international actors on the Luxury Spa scene and captains of the Wellness industry worldwide, is pleased to announce a series of top-level strategic partnerships.
The 2008 edition will witness the exhibition’s strategic decision to be considered above all as an event, an exclusive point of contact and opportunity to meet up with top Spa industry leaders, investors and consultants, hotel and Spa managers, architects, designers and operators, all aiming to come together and reflect on the dynamics of future development.
Numerous international partnerships have been forged to bring qualified visitors to Monte-Carlo, with a special focus on associations operating in the areas of hospitality and architecture and treatments.
Spas are set to become an absolute imperative for any hospitality structure: from the chalet in the Dolomites to the holiday village on the coast. It’s simply a natural evolution. Business actors from all over the world meet at The Monaco Spa Event to discover all the latest trends and polish up on their professional profiles.
The architect is a key figure in the process of designing a wellness centre and making the necessary decisions: that is what makes him a crucial figure for exhibitors at The Monaco Spa Event, which dedicates several initiatives to him.
