Developing Hot Springs Tourism

Getting tourists to travel to a destination requires three concepts for success.One is accessibility,how easy it is to get there and get around.The second is amenities,what is on offer to the guest which include food,hotel and spa facilities:the mundane things like the type of towels used.The third is attractions,either big such as mountain vistas and seasideviews or smaller such as private services and wait staff.Both amenities and attractions can often swap or share many of the same instances in a spa or hot springs resort,or any tourist destination for that matter.However,all three contribute to the overall experience and satisfaction of the tourist.

These three requirements can manifest differently as well.Travel guide books,websites and other publications spend a great deal of effort and money looking to find the best of the best when it comes to destinations.Many tourists rely on these to help make the decision on where to spend their money and the lists and recommendations go along with what seems like normal requirements-Best Price-but can be much more esoteric-Best Philosophy.

Taking a page from some of the most relied upon sources for travel,many of the hot springs in Liaoning are taking these ideas to heart.

Taking the visitor back in time is one of the goals of luxury hotel design.

Many spas and resorts look to embrace an overall meaning or better term concept, to their treatments. Ideas like spa philosophy and activity spas attract a certain type of clientele. As an example, the Chi Spa in Shanghai bases their treatments on both traditional Chinese rituals and Himalayan culture.A visit begins with assessing your mood and desires and brings elements of the Tao into your therapy selection, all of this gives the visit a metaphysical property. At the Yingkou Xiongyue Hot Spring Resort near Tianmu, the resort emphasizes and promotes a six method and nine step concept for full body and mind relaxation that is utterly effective.

As for activities, many spas around the world look to offer more than just relaxation from sitting in a hot springs pool. After all, visiting a resort is about escaping life and being able to fill your day with recreation and enjoyment. On the island of St. Lucia in the Caribbean, The Body Holiday resort offers activities such as scuba diving, yoga and yes, even fencing classes. The idea is to offer a mind escape from the drudgery of the world. With Liaoning Province having a unique mixture of snow covered mountains in the winter andendless beaches to be enjoyed in the summertime, the activities can be endless. The Hot Spring Ski Resort of Gongchangling offers great runs for skiers and snowboarders to carve up all day long. Dalian, already recognized as an international tourist destination in China has many island hot springs options to go along with its own collection of beaches. Not content to be enjoyed just in the summer or winter, Liaoning has many golf courses like the Shengjing Golf Club in Shenyang, the Golden Pebble Beach Golf Club in Dalian and many more.

Delicate tea services and accessories are made available at the finer hotels in Dalian.

When it comes to those stuck in a big city day and night the idea of urban escapes is very popular among spa designs. For example in Sanya, the Mangrove Resort focuses on removing all instances of modern life from the guest’s view. Rooms are constructed of local woods and views of either the sea or gardens are all available to help the guest relax. Near Dalian the Hongyuan Hot Springs Resort is built as an oasis from the entire world. The complex is complete with excellent hot springs, golf course and art museum complete with artists in residence. The resort also has many individual villas available for those that wantto disappear into the mountains for utter privacy and enjoy their personal hot springs all by themselves piped into their home away from home.

Spa products themselves often take center stage when travelers pick where to go. The brand Bliss, from the US, is one the most popular spa product brands that can be found in many high-end resorts around the world and was even featured on airline flights. ForLiaoning’s hot springs, the lure of curative waters, unique ingredients and different therapies are a definite lure to the area.

The decor of a location is the first thing a guest sees and one that leaves a lasting impression on the guest as they are immersed in the decoration even more so than the hot springs themselves. How good or how bad the place looks is very important. The Dragonfly Spa chain all over China looks extremely high-end without being outrageously expensive. After stepping through the doors you have the impression that everything is going to be wonderful, an important characteristic. At the Royal Jingshan Hot Spring Hotel Courtyardin Yingkou, they have taken decor to the highest level. Designed in the imperial dynastic style of China, the courtyards offer the guests an experience of complete pampering in a setting designed as a modern emperor’s home. Each detail, down to hand-written notes in the ashtray offering the staff’s warm thoughts makes a stay very memorable.

A visit to a hot spring is indeed a luxury, and the price often reflects that. Many hot springs around the world are, to be blunt, expensive. Different locations need to factor in costs for transportation, food, staff and all of the imported amenities. Many can be equally affordable as well though. Liaoning, now in the development stage of high-end hot springshas resorts to fit every budget both for visitors within China and those traveling from overseas. There are endless choices with many spas and resorts offering specials like weekend packages, double or extended-time, and discounted rates.
