Wage Insights obtains and leverages data across the hospitality and wellness sectors to enable hotels and wellness centers to better formulate their employee compensation and growth strategies.

Barry Goldstein, Arch Amenities Group chief executive officer, called the Wage Insights survey and reporting tools “some of the most defined and confident ways companies can inform their hiring strategies and react quickly to today’s dynamic labor market using current market data that is both internally equitable and externally competitive.”

Wage Insights surveys are conducted, certified and interpreted by secure, third-party partners to capture and collate national, regional and state-level data from across the hospitality and wellness industries. All subscribers, from C-suite leaders to general managers, can select from several tiers of subscription-based continual reports or choose individual reports via one-time downloads.

Wage Insights reports include comprehensive visual tools to support the budgeting and forecasting process. Reports are generated as spreadsheets and data fields in PDF format, providing wage benchmarking information specific to job type, category and location.

Goldstein credited Michael G. Tompkins, managing director of Hutchinson: An Arch Company, with conceiving the benchmarking survey and insights tool. “With fast-changing economic shifts and the post-pandemic hiring climate, the ability to leverage hyper-current survey data to benchmark salaries and wages is a game-changer for businesses looking to maximize efficiencies for growth,” Goldstein said.

Tompkins added that as demand for wellness services and amenities increases, “we know that more informed recruiting practices lead to better talent acquisition and propel business forward,” adding: “The Wage Insights benchmarking tool helps employers zero in on hiring the best talent in the market, ultimately leading to longer-lasting, more engaged teams.”

Research and consultation
The first thing to keep in mind when planning to get Botox on vacation in Bangkok is to research the provider and schedule a consultation. To find the right Botox provider, check for reviews online or ask for recommendations from friends or family who have had Botox in Bangkok before. Once you have found a provider, schedule a consultation before the treatment. If you’re looking for a reliable place to get Botox in Bangkok, Metro Beauty Center, is a popular and highly-trusted aesthetic clinic in Bangkok that offers a range of beauty treatments, including Botox injections from expert doctors. During the consultation, the provider will examine your face and discuss your goals and expectations for the treatment. This will give you an opportunity to ask any questions you may have about the procedure.

Aftercare instructions
After getting Botox, it is important to follow the provider’s instructions carefully. This may include avoiding certain activities or products for a specific period, such as swimming or facial scrubs. You may also be advised to apply ice to the injection site to reduce swelling and discomfort. Applying ice for short periods of time can help alleviate any discomfort you may experience after the procedure. Additionally, drinking plenty of water after getting Botox can help your body flush out any toxins and reduce the risk of complications. Ensure you drink plenty of water during your vacation to stay hydrated and support the healing process. Sun exposure can damage your skin and increase the risk of complications after Botox. Wear a hat and sunscreen when spending time outdoors in Bangkok.

Moderation and limitations
While Botox can provide excellent results, it is important not to overdo it. Too much Botox can make your face appear frozen or unnatural. Your provider will help you determine the right amount of Botox to achieve your desired results. After receiving Botox injections, it is important to avoid certain activities that can increase the risk of complications. For example, drinking alcohol after Botox treatment can lead to bruising and bleeding. It is recommended that you avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours after your treatment. Swimming should be avoided for at least 24 hours after getting Botox, as it can increase the risk of infection. Strenuous activities such as running, lifting weights, or engaging in high-intensity workouts can increase blood flow and increase the risk of swelling or bruising. Avoid strenuous activity for a few days after getting Botox as well.

Avoiding contact with the injection site
After getting Botox, it is important to avoid touching or rubbing the injection site. Touching or rubbing the injection site can cause the Botox to spread to other areas of the face, leading to unwanted effects. Avoid touching or rubbing the injection site for at least 24 hours after getting Botox. Besides, applying makeup to the injection site can increase the risk of infection or irritation. Avoid applying makeup to the injection site for at least 24 hours after getting Botox. If you need to wear makeup, it is recommended that you use a clean applicator to avoid introducing bacteria or other contaminants to the injection site.

Conclusion
Getting Botox in Bangkok while on vacation can give you a much-needed confidence boost and leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. To ensure the best possible results and enjoy your vacation to the fullest, it’s essential to follow these Do’s and Don’ts. Remember to take it easy after the treatment, avoid alcohol and strenuous activity, and give your body ample time to heal. It’s also important to discuss any concerns or questions you may have with your provider before and after the procedure. With the right approach, Botox can be a safe and effective way to enhance your appearance and feel more confident in your skin.

For 10 years, Soothe has provided on-demand spa services directly to homes across the globe by connecting its community of licensed professional providers with customers seeking wellness services whenever, wherever needed. Soothe is now extending this convenience and flexibility to hotels, spas, clubs, and residential properties, enabling them to fulfill guests’ increasing demand for wellness services.

“Overnight, hotels, spas, clubs, and residential properties can enhance their wellness services offering with no additional overhead or fixed staffing costs — and they can do so in a way that is true to their brand,” said John Ellis, CEO of Soothe. “For boutique hotels, it’s an easy way to offer a premium guest experience and for big hotels it maximizes periods of high demand. It’s a win win.”

“Health and wellness is more important than ever, and we are thrilled to help the hospitality industry meet growing demand for wellness-centric offerings,” added James Murphy, Chief Sales Officer at Soothe. “In 2022, we were proud to fill 92% of requested shifts from our spa partners, ultimately helping non-spa and spa properties alike to unlock new revenue streams and improve the guest experience.”

The Soothe partner platform has been successfully adopted by over 100 properties across the top luxury hotel brands through its inaugural beta program. The platform integrates seamlessly into a partner’s existing website, appearing as a customized, branded concierge booking tool for customers. On the back end, partners have access to a pool of thousands of qualified, vetted, and licensed providers who can provide the desired service on-demand. Should the property already offer wellness services through on-site staff, spa managers can make shifts available through Soothe’s platform, allowing partners to increase availability to better serve their guests and capture potentially lost revenue. These shifts are equally valuable to many wellness providers who want flexible, part-time work in a spa environment.

“We are thrilled to partner with Soothe to bring our guests the very best in massage bespoke services and in-room offerings. The pilot program has exceeded our expectations, and we are excited to offer our guests a unique and personalized experience that they won’t find anywhere else,” said Lucy Martin, General Manager, Mayfair House Hotel and Garden in Miami, Florida. “We look forward to a continued partnership with Soothe to provide unparalleled luxury services to our guests.”

“We have been working with Soothe for almost a year now and have had nothing but positive experiences,” said Benjamin Donat, Director of Spa at the Fairmont Austin. “The Account manager works closely with you, so you get the staff that you need and your expectations are met. Soothe has helped us source wonderful therapists, who are very professional and all integrate seamlessly into our workplace, even though they are technically new.”

With a growing focus and demand on wellness, more and more consumers are looking for ways to incorporate wellbeing into their daily routines – especially during hotel stays. A recent McKinsey study revealed “50 percent of US consumers now report wellness as a top priority in their day-to-day lives, a significant rise from 42 percent in 2020.” Soothe’s new wellbeing platform offers hotels an accessible, seamless way to tap into this growing marketplace.

“As one of the worlds fastest growing hospitality brands built for Millennial and Gen Z travelers, Selina partner with Soothe to provide our customers easy, seamless and fast technology for finding suitable wellness services,” said Cory Rosenberg, Sr. Regional Commercial Director for Selina Hotels. “Understanding our customers’ needs, we love Soothe for its ability to help connect our guests with reliable and talented therapists in our key urban destinations. The platform is cashless and instantaneous, and allows services to be brought right to the comfort of your own hotel room. It is perfect for digital nomads and our customers who are always on-the-go.”

Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities

Increased tooth loss rates, high demand for cosmetic dentistry, rising per-person healthcare costs, and emergence of technologically advanced products drive the growth of the global dental tourism market. However, the strict government restrictions on prohibiting foreign medical treatment hinder the market growth. Furthermore, with the rise in the geriatric population and advanced healthcare options, dental tourism is becoming more and more popular worldwide, thus offering lucrative opportunities in the industry.

Covid-19 Scenario

• The COVID-19 pandemic had adverse effects on the dental tourism market worldwide, particularly in countries like India and China, which were popular destinations for dental tourism. The imposition of travel bans, supply chain disruptions, and movement restrictions had a severe impact on this industry during the initial years of the pandemic.
• The dental tourism market in India was hit hard by the travel restrictions, which prevented patients from neighboring countries from seeking dental treatment. According to Fortis Healthcare’s annual report, the dental tourism industry witnessed a significant decline in 2021 due to global travel restrictions.
• However, the dental tourism industry has shown signs of recovery post-pandemic.

The dental implants segment to maintain its leadership status throughout the forecast period

By services, the dental implants segment held the highest market share in 2021, accounting for more than two-fifths of the global dental tourism market revenue and is estimated to maintain its leadership status throughout the forecast period. This is because dental implants are long-term replacements that are described as a restorative treatment that protects and supports natural bone while also acting as a secure foundation for a prosthesis. However, the dental cosmetics segment would display the fastest CAGR of 14.8% during the forecast period. This is due to the rise in the prevalence of dental disorders such as periodontal disease, tooth decay, gum disease, dental crack, and dental cavities, as well as an increase in the geriatric population, which is more prone to tooth-related problems.

The dental clinics segment to grab the lion’s share during the forecast period

By providers, the dental clinics segment held the highest market share in 2021, contributing to nearly three-fourths of the global dental tourism market revenue, and is estimated to maintain its lion’s share throughout the forecast period. Also, the same segment is projected to cite the highest CAGR of 14.2% during the forecast period. This is due to the rising demand for cost-effective treatments. Moreover, healthcare systems around the world believe that the risk of infection in clinics is comparatively lower than in hospitals.

Asia-Pacific to maintain its dominance by 2021

By region, Asia-Pacific held the major share in 2021, garnering more than half of the global dental tourism market revenue and is projected to rule the roost by 2031. This is due to the easy availability of dentists with rich experience. Also, superior infrastructure for dental treatment has supplemented the market growth. However, the Europe region would portray the fastest CAGR of 14.8% during the forecast period. This is owing to the introduction of novel technologies, such as CAD/CAM-based dental restorations and high awareness of dental procedures across the province.

Leading Market Players

• Liberty Dental Clinic
• Dubai Dental Hospital
• Imperial Dental Specialist Center
• Medlife Group
• clove dental
• Apollo Hospitals Enterprise Ltd.
• Franco-Vietnamese Hospital
• raffles medical group
• Fortis Healthcare
• Oris Dental Centre

The report provides a detailed analysis of these key players in the global dental tourism market. These players have adopted different strategies such as new product launches, collaborations, expansion, joint ventures, agreements, and others to increase their market share and maintain dominant shares in different regions. The report is valuable in highlighting the business performance, operating segments, product portfolio, and strategic moves of the market players.

Present in the most beautiful places in the world, Dior is now joining the Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes. This legendary place treasured by the House is celebrated by an eponymous perfume in the Collection Privée Christian Dior. Here, on 14th April 2023, it will welcome a Spa, inspired by and looking out onto nature and the radiant Côte d’Azur light. United by a shared spirit and a shared vision of discreet and authentic luxury, the two Houses are, in this way, celebrating their long-standing ties.

Embodying the wonderful Mediterranean lifestyle, this mythical luxury hotel meets the inimitable Parisian elegance of Dior this spring, as well as its unique philosophy of beauty and well-being. Together, the two Houses are opening a new chapter in their shared history, written over time. Firstly, of course, is their love of nature and flowers, in particular roses, present here in their thousands, shared with Monsieur Dior, whose haven of peace, Château de la Colle Noire, lies but a few dozen kilometres away. Then, having selected this setting for several advertising campaigns, Dior made Eden-Roc a special destination by dedicating an eponymous perfume to it, in an olfactory tribute to this legendary, sun-drenched spot.

Overlooking the southern tip of Cap d’Antibes, Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc is an absolute legend of the French Riviera. Set on a promontory of white rocks with an unrestricted view of the Lérins Islands, its elegant Napoleonic residence, majestic alleys and iconic swimming pool set into the cliffside, have shone for over 150 years. This vibrant gem of regal nature is set in grounds of nine hectares, where Aleppo pines, agapanthus, lavender, fragrant roses and jasmine flourish. This idyllic setting is a symbol of a unique art de vivre. It is a refuge for stars and key figures worldwide, from New York glamour couple Sara and Gerald Murphy, who started the trend for summer breaks on the Côte d’Azur with friends Hemingway and Picasso, to Sharon Stone, Robert de Niro and Clint Eastwood, as well as Liz Taylor and Richard Burton who came for their honeymoon, Audrey Hepburn, Romy Schneider and the Kennedy family.

When wellness is not the primary reason for the trip, travelers engage in secondary tourism activities. Secondary tourism combines leisure or business travel with beneficial activities, spa services, and experiences that heal the mind and body.

The idea of traveling to maintain or improve one’s health is known as wellness tourism. The practice of wellness tourism is a way of life that involves multiple journeys to enhance and preserve one’s well-being. It is intended to put an emphasis on genuine experiences and support the goals of healthy living. Both the physical and mental health of people are improved by this.

The industry is projected to expand rapidly because of the rising demand for reviving activities such as meditation and exercise as well as revitalizing traditional therapies and health and wellness foods.

An increasing number of businesses are giving their employees benefits such as paid time off and compensation for different trips they take, which is expected to encourage customers to spend money on wellness tourism. These elements are probably going to have a positive impact on market expansion.

Competitive Landscape

The main trend gaining popularity in the wellness tourism business is new technological advancements. To maintain their place in the market, major organizations involved in wellness tourism are concentrating on adopting innovative technology. Leading companies are extending their geographic reach to bring in more customers.

• In 2019, Aman Spa opened Amanpuri, a wellness facility in Thailand that also provides medical services. The diverse development tactics used by different market participants increase competitiveness and greatly aid in the growth of the wellness tourism industry.
• In April 2021, The Atmantan Wellness Center offers wellness tourism and introduced Atmantan Naturals. It is a new wellness-tech platform that uses telehealth portal technology.
