ST. GEORGE, UTAH, 2021-Jan-06 — /Travel PR News/ — While North American travelers haven’t been able to travel as much as they would like, it hasn’t stopped them from looking, according to Spas of America’s Top 100 Spas of 2020. The spa and wellness travel website cited Country, Mountain and Mineral Spas as the most popular spa searches, with the No. 1 spa for 2020 going for the second year in a row to Sagestone Spa at the popular fresh air, fitness and hiking-influenced Red Mountain Resort in St. George, Utah. The annual award provides insight into consumers’ favorite spas of the year, based on unique page views and consumer choices on spasofamerica.com.
The Top 100 Spas of 2020 list includes 74 spas from the United States, 19 spas from Canada, three from Mexico, and one each from Barbados, the Bahamas, Jamaica and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
“The North American spa and wellness industry was devastated by the events of the past year,” says Spas of America president Craig Oliver. “Many spas have been forced to close, reduce staff and operate at a reduced capacity. On the bright side we are seeing strong interest from consumers who are searching for relaxation, mental health, wellness and escape. I have no doubt North American spas will rise to meet this challenge in the year ahead.”
“We are excited to learn about achieving Spas of America’s No. 1 spa for 2020,” says Tracey Welsh, general manager of Red Mountain Resort. “With respect to this very difficult year globally, we are grateful to be able to safely offer so many wellness activities to our guests who are seeking restoration and rejuvenation. We look forward to welcoming guests to our unique fitness and hiking experience in beautiful St. George, Utah, whenever they are comfortable to travel.”
