Key Ratios Key size indicators vary by type of spa. As in previous years, average revenues and visits per resort/hotel spa are higher than for day spas. The key size indicators are shown for the main spa types in the Key Ratios table on the following page. For comparability with previous studies, floor space ratios are also shown. Also shown are revenue ratios, including revenues per visit and per employed person. Resort/hotel spas generate higher average revenues per visit ($145) compared to day spas ($86). Reflecting their larger average size, revenue per resort/hotel spa ($1.81 million) was approximately 2.5 times the average for day spas ($728,000). Similarly, average total employment per resort/hotel spa (35.6) is more than twice the day spa average (15.4). Average revenue by type of spa All $826,000 Day $728,000 Resort/Hotel $1,806,000 Other $756,000 $0 $200,000 $400,000 $600,000 $800,000 $1,000,000 $1,200,000 $1,400,000 $1,600,000 $1,800,000 $2,000,000 Note: The key ratios by spa type should be interpreted with caution. They are estimates based on a sample of spa establishments and will therefore be subject to variability from sampling error. Special care should be taken in making comparisons with previous Spa Industry Studies as the estimates in those previous reports will also exhibit variability due to sampling error.
