VisitBritain to vet UK spas

Thursday, 27 Feb, 2007 0

 

 

VisitBritain has used the Professional Spa Show in London to launch its new National Spa Accreditation Scheme.

 

Supported by the Spa Business Association and the British International Spa Association, the scheme measures spa facilities against a quality benchmark and ensures consumers get reassurance and confidence that spas have met minimum standards for health and safety, cleanliness and service.

 

Spas that outperform will be granted a gold award at the end of the year.

 

Seventeen spas in the UK have participated in a pilot of the scheme, which has now gone nationwide.
