The first European Spa Exhibition is scheduled to take place in Monte-Carlo early next year.

The exhibition is a professional show, aimed at operators of spa resorts, day spas, Thalassotherapy institutes, luxury hotels and chains, thermal institutes, cruise lines, beauty and cosmetic institutes and department stores, as well as distributors and importers and interior design architects.

Running from 22 -24 January, the show will take place in The Grimaldi Forum in the heart of the city and be divided into 'villages', designed to represent the four key areas in which the organisers believe a spa should excel in order to be regarded as world-class.

These are Design & Decoration; Hydrotherapy, dedicated to the physical and therapeutic benefits of water; Beauty & Well-Being, displaying the current techniques used in professional spas; and Cosmetics, where visitors will be able to see the latest products from the major beauty brands.

The various displays will be complemented by a programme of conferences on different aspects of the spa industry.
