Spa Executive - December 2021

"Sustainability is still on trend and is something that requires
singular focus. I encourage all hospitality leaders that read this
article to implement just one new sustainable initiative this year.
As a leader, you have the ability to craft and encourage how
guests experience sustainability in a hospitality setting. Try to
go single use plastic free or simply enact ways to reduce
consumption of single use water bottles, work with sustainable
manufacturers, reduce your laundry usage. Simplicity can make
an impact."

"Immune health is going to be huge for 2022 and beyond.
The pandemic opened a lot of people’s eyes to the
importance of taking care of their bodies and some of
the functions we often take for granted, like our
immune systems. At the beginning of the pandemic
people started stockpiling vitamin C, vitamin D, and other
supplements. Fast forward two years later and these
supplements have become part of people’s daily lives,
because they realized their overall wellbeing had
improved. This also spurred people to investigate
things like vitamin IV drips and genetic tests to see which
nutrients their body was deficient in. We have seen a
huge uptick in this trend as people now realize that health
is wealth.
"People are also taking care of their mental health
more than ever, and mood care will explode in 2022.
We have dismantled the stigma around seeing a therapist
or mental health counselor. People are realizing that
sometimes a neutral party can give us guidance or help
us see things that a friend or family member cannot.
People are taking more non-traditional routes, both in
their personal and professional lives, if it means they
aren’t going to feel like they are in a state of disarray
or misery. People have discovered that if they feel good
physically and mentally, they can show their families and
employers a much better, and more productive, version of
themselves.
"Finally, placing experiences over materialism is hands
down something that I am excited about for the future.
In 2021 people left their homes in droves to travel to
new regions of the world, something that we often
took for granted"
