“Investors want absolute transparency about how spa activities will bring value to the real estate and that is what drips down to the bottom line performance. All of the data that is available at the moment in terms of spa is top-line related and driven. Investors are looking at what value is brought to the asset, which is, essentially, profit and cash – whether that is the land, the bricks and mortar or the hotel itself.
