ASSOCIATION OF MALAYSIAN SPAS

The Association of Malaysian Spas, better known as AMSPA is a national spa association formed as a cohesive body to nurture, develop, and move the Malaysian spa industry forward, while ensuring that standards and professionalism are upheld at all times by its members. AMSPAs Board of Directors are nominated and voted on to the Board by their peers. It comprises individuals with wide ranging experience and qualifications, who volunteer precious time and resources to work towards putting these in place for the good of the industry. In doing so, AMSPA contributes towards tourism in Malaysia as spas have become a vital component of the hospitality and service industry. One of AMSPAs manifestos is to provide opportunities and avenues for training and education on spa management and wellness therapy for the industry, with the hope to have more Malaysians qualified and working for the industry in the near future.
