Among the 25 exhibitors is the Icelandic geothermal seawater spa Blue Lagoon, holistic spa retreat consortium Healing Hotels of the World, India’s Somatheeram Ayurveda Group and UK-based operator Lifehouse Spa and Hotel.

Following on from the Wellness Programme launched by Spafinder Wellness 365 at WTM 2014, The WTM Wellness Lounge offers suppliers private pods within the lounge, networking meals with buyers and a speed-networking session.

John Bevan, COO of Spafinder Wellness Inc said: “We knew there was a great demand for a Wellness Lounge because our conference programme during WTM 2014 was very well attended. It's gratifying to see the wellness and travel industries working together, to help both markets to do business.”
