The inaugural Asia Beauty & Wellness Awards 2017 was launched recently to recognise the leaders and upcoming companies and individuals who are game changers in the health, beauty and wellness communities in the region. With new trends emerging and the demand for the very best service and products increasing, it is crucial to establish leading lights of this dynamic and vibrant industry.
This prestigious awards programme creates a convergence of the top market players, wellness entrepreneurs and practitioners within the region. It provides an amazing platform for networking opportunities, leadership sharing and a showcase of the wellness industry’s latest trends and developments. Nominees will be vetted in across several criteria including brand definition, management standards, professionalism, customer service, quality of product/service, sustainability, corporate social responsibility and innovation. The judging process will also include a site visit to the operating premises and interview with the founder/management team of the nominee company.
The awards are divided into three main sections:
- Companies/Brands,
- Wellness Personalities, and
- Special Achievements.
Companies/Brands will see nominees from multiple products and services-based categories such as Best Spa & Wellness Centre, Best Destination Spa, Best Traditional Treatment, Best Ayurvedic Centre, Best in Medical Tourism and Most Celebrated Brand.
