XpresSpa to Bring Pampering Directly to Travelers with Convenient Pop-Up Facilities and Luxury Spa Services
NEW YORK - March 14, 2017 - XpresSpa, the industry-leading luxury airport spa company and a wholly owned subsidiary of FORM Holdings Corp. (Nasdaq: FH), today announced that it will introduce its kiosk and pop-up spa prototypes at the 13 th Annual ARN Revenue Conference & Exhibition, the largest gathering of airport decision-makers and concession executives, in New Orleans.
"While airlines are unable to control flight delays due to unexpected weather, mechanical issues or air traffic, they can now offer travelers indulging services and amenities right at their gate within minutes," said Ed Jankowski, XpresSpa's Chief Executive Officer . "XpresSpa's fully-immersive pop-up spa prototype was developed as part of our customer-focused expansion plans and we're excited to display them first at the 2017 ARN Conference."
In addition to the 53 full-service XpresSpa facilities in 23 airports, XpresSpa's kiosk and pop-up concepts were developed to offer immediate, mobile solutions for travelers who want accessible spa treatments. XpresSpa's mobile experiences can be fully operational quickly due to their portable design, open layout and minimalistic style; however, the experience is upscale and built for pre-and-post flight pampering, relaxation and comfort. XpresSpa's airport partners will now have the flexibility to set up portable spas at busy gates during airline delays or cancellations. Services will include chair massages and express manicures, among others.
The kiosk design gives XpresSpa the ability to quickly set up a spa in the middle of busy terminals that have open space available. XpresSpa has tested this concept with positive results in Miami International Airport, where there is already an in-line spa and in Charlotte Douglas International Airport, during the build out of two new in-line spas.
Since announcing FORM's acquisition of XpresSpa in August, 2016, the brand has further expanded its footprint in terminal locations throughout the country and continues to enhance the spa experience for travelers, reinforcing the company's presence as the number one luxury airport spa brand.
XpresSpa executives will be available at the ARN Conference & Exhibition on Tuesday, March 14 from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM CST and on Wednesday, March 15 from 8:00 AM to 2:30 PM CST in Booth #415 . Manicures and massages will also be available for conference attendees.
