On the other hand, an exploration of the market dynamics willpresent a consciousness of the customers’ expectations and suggest whether thelevel of service quality in the health spa is adequate to meet these needs. Thepractical implication of the study will assist in the design of a proposed modelwith best marketing practices for the sustainability of this competitive industry.
