  • Promoting the Spa Tourism Industry: Focus on Coastal Resorts in Kenya
    Athens Journal of Tourism - Volume 1, Issue 1 – Pages 53-64 Promoting the Spa Tourism Industry: Focus on Coastal Resorts in Kenya By Roselyne N. Okech The connection between health and tourism is not a new phenomenon since people began to travel to spa towns in the 1800s and has grown substantially worldwide. Health retreats and spas are a rapidly growing sector of the tourism industry where there has been new interest in "new age" remedies and traditional remedial therapies. There is a distinct lack of published research on spa tourism issues in Kenya. Hence, the focus of such research could help identify the potential of spa tourism among domestic and international travellers, who visit Kenya and in particular Mombasa as a tourism destination. This paper aims to provide a profile of the spa resort sector in Kenya based on an in-depth analysis of promotional materials produced by each of the resorts within the population and discussions with managers of the spa resorts. The research aimed at providing a starting point for understanding the Kenyan spa resort market by establishing a preliminary profile and categorisation of the sector, particularly from a supply perspective. This research also seeks to provide some guidance for managing the prospective growth of the spa resort market and guide the marketing endeavours of existing spa resorts. Qualitative research was used to undertake an analysis of promotional materials produced by Kenyan spa resorts as well as in-depth interviews with the spa managers and direct observation. This was with the aim to establish reliable industry benchmarks for key infrastructure and generate greater awareness of the spa industry in Kenya to promote growth in visitation numbers.

Indeed, the spa is a rich repository of historical, cultural, and behavioral information that is at once unique to its specific location and shared by other spas around the world.

  • South Australian Statewide Swimming Pool Audit - November 2017 | 0 |
    SOUTH AUSTRALIAN STATEWIDE SWIMMING POOL AUDIT - NOVEMBER 2017 | 0 | ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This report would not have been possible without the support of partner organisations and key stakeholders. Project Funding was provided for by the Office for Recreation and Sport through the 2016-17 Community Recreation and Sport Facilities Program (CRSFP). Recreation SA wishes to thank Michelle Doyle, CEO Swimming SA and representing the Aquatics Sport Coalition SA (Diving SA, Water Polo SA, Swimming SA), Jan Sutherland, CEO Sport SA, and members of the Recreation SA Aquatics Advisory Committee. Thanks are also extended to those who participated in the survey and contributed to this report, the results of which have presented an overview of the current aquatic industry and identified matters for future planning consideration. The collective contribution has assisted in the delivery of a report that presents an overview of swimming pool facilities in South Australia as at November 2017. DISCLAIMER The findings in this report are derived from the analysis of a survey completed by representatives of aquatic facilities owned by Local Government/District Councils, the Department of Education and Child Development, Private Schools and the State government. While every attempt was made to provide a comprehensive state wide report, participation was not mandatory. SOUTH AUSTRALIAN STATEWIDE SWIMMING POOL AUDIT - NOVEMBER 2017 | 0 | FOREWORD Why are the South Australian public swimming facilities so important that they have been the subject of at least three major State Government reviews over a 20 year period? The answer is simple. They provide a safe environment for the public to learn water skills for survival.
