Zeeshan Qasim 'The Wellness Will Only Grow'

Professional background

I am a comparative greenhorn in the spa, wellness and hospitality industry, as I have been in the domain for only a decade now. I have honed my skills with several brands and hotels such as IHG, Hyatt and BHL, and currently I am the Spa Manager with The Lalit Grand Palace in Srinagar.

Views on the growing wellness industry

It is amazing to see the growth of the industry! The speed at which the awareness quotient has increased amongst all sections of the society is worth applauding. This has helped us too, as now this industry can connect with the masses, as well. At a leisure property, it is critical to provide facilities that keep the guests engaged, with spa being an important addon. I feel that spas are here to stay and the need for rejuvenation and wellness treatments will continue to grow. The bene ts of spa treatments are recognised globally and guests are reaping the bene ts of treatments and services available.
