The spa sector is the leading player in health and wellness tourism in North America. In searching for health and wellness travel experiences, travelers can find structured and professionally delivered programs at several kinds of spa venues. These include club spas, cruise ship spas, day spas, destination spas, medical spas, mineral springs spas and resort/hotel spas.

According ISPA estimates there are about 2100 spas in Canada, with 75% of them categorized as day spas. Like the US, the Canadian spa industry segment is dominated by SMEs and most properties are independently owned. Forty-one percent of all spas in Canada are located in Ontario. British Columbia (19%), Quebec (18%), Alberta (12%), Atlantic Canada (6%), Manitoba/Saskatchewan (4%) and the Territories (0.4%) complete the regional breakdown.  Many of Canada’s spa facilities that cater to travelers, offer a prime year-round vacation experience. They cater to young and old alike – those consumers who seek a pleasant and energizing vacation of exceptional quality and personal care complete with specialized services such as massage therapy, therapeutic treatments, beauty care and healthful cuisine. Health and wellness programs in Canada focus on hydrotherapy [water based therapeutic treatments], algotherapy [all forms of the use of algae in therapeutic treatments], angotherapy [warm mud therapies], sudation [sauna], exfoliation, pressure therapy and several message techniques. Fitness programs, wellness assessment, and nutritional counseling are other services offered. Current research on Canada indicates that Canadians make some 20. 2 million spa visits annually. This compares to the estimate of 8 million in 2002 and represents nearly 2.5 times the number of visits.
