QUESTIONS FOR THE SPA GUIDE
I thought you might enjoy reading some of the questions that are posed to the Spa Guide and, of course, read my great (and not so great) answers. Most of the following questions come from the email link on the Spa Site (spas.guide@mail.about.com). Some of them have been by phone, fax, and mail. I have removed any identifying remarks in them to keep them confidential. I have also updated them for any information that has changed or come to light since sending out the original response. Look for more Questions for the Spa Guide next week. I hope you enjoy reading them and find them enlightening.
Question 1
What is your relationship to travel agents? Do you get a commission for interest your site generates? It appears not to be that. It appears to be a bona fide effort at helping consumers learn about spas and pick the right experience for their taste and budget. In this case we're interested in what you are doing.
Question 2
I am a American trained Chiropractor who would like to get a list of health spas in Bali, Indonesia. My uncle has just purchased some land in Ubud and is in the process of building a house. I would like to work with some of the spas in Bali providing Chiropractic to their guests and be able to live with my uncle. If you can help me at all I would appreciate it very much.
Question 3
Spa Guide ... If you could go to any spa, anywhere, which spa would you choose?
Question 4
I have the 'Healthy Escapes' book, which I find excellent, but I am also looking for a book which catalogues spas worldwide. Is there such a book and, if not, do you know how I would go about finding such information.
Question 5
I am trying to find spas located in upstate New York. Possibly in the Finger Lakes region. Can you let me know if there are any in that area, and how I can go about getting information on them?
Question 6
I am looking for information on architects and/or designers of spas and/or hair salons. Can you help me?
Question 7
I would like to know if you know of any "Spa Only" cruises. In other words, are there any Spa Ship vacation solely dedicated to a Spa vacation similar to a Spa Resort Destination? Such as Rancho La Puerta or Canyon Ranch?
I am interested in taking a healthy spa vacation on a cruise spa. Does this exist?
Question 8
I am looking for a spa/resort to go to in the later part of April - beginning of May.
I have been reviewing the Internet and it appears that what is offered is either total pampering or total recreation. I am looking for something that encompasses both.
I live in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. My initial request was to find something in the Caribbean, but I have not found anything that meets my criteria.
Any help you could provide is appreciated.
Question 9
My father and I are looking to send my mother to France to a cooking school (it's her 50th birthday). Then I read about equestrian spas. Could you email me some names and phone numbers? Any suggestions would be helpful. Thank you.
Question 10
I WOULD LIKE TO GO ON A SPA VACATION THE FIRST WEEK OR TWO IN FEBRUARY . IS THERE A SERVICE THAT CAN HELP ME BOOK THE TRIP? THANKS.
