It’s found in all luxury hotels or very upscale hotels. We would like to break that aspect into our hotels, specially in the resorts locations, whereby they (consumers) get a treatment done at a reasonable cost. So that is a very good income stream for the hotels and also for the people who come for the treatment. They do not feel pinch in the pocket."

Wellness is a very good line of business that we would also be looking at, however, that depends on the location of the resorts, what kind of people are travelling there, seasonal factors etc. But, we are very open to that business idea.”
