An initiative inspired by charity: water’s
presence at the 2015 ISPA Conference & Expo,
WTS International launches its WELLness
Begins with Water initiative in support of
charity: water and in partnership with the
Green Spa Network and Global Wellness Day
(GWD). WTS will work with the Green Spa
Network on the development of protocols and
recommendations aimed at significantly
reducing the number of plastic water bottles
and cups used at WTS-managed spa, fitness
and lifestyle facilities. WTS will create an implementation guide that will provide solutions for
reducing the carbon footprint created by plastic,
as well as providing affiliated spas with suggestions on how to run their GWD fundraising
events. All proceeds raised from the GWD
events will be donated to charity: water in the
name of WTS International.
While we highlight many of our ISPA members’ philanthropic work,
we also want to recognize ISPA’s recent charitable initiative in this
“Giving Back” issue of Pulse magazine. At the 2016 ISPA Conference
& Expo, the ISPA community came in full force to help raise funds for
cancer research programs. To help in this initiative, ResortSuite
sponsored this year’s registration bags which benefitted Stand Up to
Cancer. It was a timely initiative since it honored spa industry
members who lost their battle to cancer and those affected by their
passing. Indeed, ISPA cares.
