This is a press release selected by our editorial committee and published online for free on 2008-11-07
Launched in 2005 to give recognition to exceptional spas in the Asia region, the AsiaSpa Awards have become a highly anticipated annual event. Shining a spotlight on the outstanding efforts of individuals and companies within the industry, they are a reflection of Asia’s increasingly sophisticated spa culture.
Growing in size as the market matures, categories have expanded from 19 to 26 and in 2008 we are excited to introduce Spa Design of the Year and Men’s Product of the Year.
In response to increasing eco and community awareness, we have also added Socially Responsible Spa of the Year.
All nominations will be published in AsiaSpa magazine’s November/December 2008 issue, with the awards evening being
celebrated in November. The winners will be announced at the AsiaSpa Awards ceremony on 13th November and will be announced in the January/February 2009 issue.
