Spa getaways

In 2008 spas are shifting the focus from pampering and indulging to wellness and medical atmosphere. People are looking for a better body, but not just on the outside. Typical treatments now are cleansing fasts, acupuncture, and yoga.

• Spas are not just for women! The number of men visiting spas has increased to almost 40%!
• Twice as many adults are more interested in going to a spa than golfing on a vacation
• 58% of affluent travelers say a full service spa is their preferred amenity.

In the United States, some of the best known spas are in Sedona, Scottsdale AZ area. As well as one in the Poconos in PA. There are a couple in North Carolina that are world renowned.

Recently in Northern Virgina, near D.C. a day spa has incorporated something new! A pedicure where small fish eat the dead skin off of your feet! The results are amazing I hear! I want to get one sometime. Check out this website to watch a Youtube video from CBS.
