Spa Tourism is a popular segment of the travel market with Spas and wellness centers generating about $60 billion in worldwide revenue. Resorts and hotels make up 10% of spa providers, day spas make up 80%, and medical spas make up the last 10%.  With the proliferation of spas around the world and increased competition, spa providers are having to make their services – and buildings – stand out from the rest.  Flavorwire has located 10 spas around the world that provide clients with experiences both serene and unusual.  They include a salt cave in Chicago, an underwater spa in the Maldive Islands, and a Geomagnetic Vortex spa in the Mohave Desert.  Which one would you like to visit?
