FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
An independent jury of spa, wellness and hospitality professionals scores every nomination against the same six published criteria used across Hospitality Awards. There is no public vote at any stage.
Yes. Categories span luxury hotel spas, destination wellness retreats and resorts, standalone day spas, and beauty clinics or aesthetic centres, so every type and scale of business competes against comparable peers.
The programme covers two related industries under one roof — Spa & Wellness (spas, retreats, wellness centres) and Beauty & Cosmetics (salons, skincare and beauty product brands) — each with its own dedicated category set.
Yes. Individual leadership categories such as Spa Director of the Year exist alongside the business categories, recognising the people driving results as well as the properties themselves.
Nomination packages range from USD 299 for a single category up to USD 1,750 for multi-programme, multi-category participation — pricing affects how many categories you can enter, never the odds of winning.
Guest satisfaction data can strengthen a nomination as supporting evidence, but the final decision is made by the independent jury scoring the full submission against the published criteria — not by aggregating review-site ratings.
Yes. Wellness Tourism Excellence and destination wellness-retreat categories sit alongside the core spa and beauty categories.
Strong nominations include treatment or service documentation, guest satisfaction metrics, sustainability or ingredient-sourcing practices, staff qualifications, and recent professional photography.
