Geography of the Spa Industry: Distribution of Spa Types by Region The distribution of spa types by region in 2018 shows little change from the historic pattern. Compared to the general population, resort/hotel spas are more heavily concentrated in the South West region; 39% of such spas are located in the South West, i.e., over two times the region’s 19% population share. The regional distribution of day spas more closely follows the general population; such spas typically serve the population living in the areas where they are located. The map of spa establishments by region is shown on page 53. Key ratios by region are shown in the table on page 54.
