Summary/Abstract: Promoting a healthy lifestyle, increasing health awareness and an aging society caused changes in the tourism services market. Each year new hotels appear offering beauty treatments and services improving well-being. In Krakow, one of the best developing European cities in terms of tourism, where there is intense competition, hotels do not stop at the basic offers, but look for opportunities to stand out through additional tourist services, creating new proposals for spending free time. One of them, consistent with the global trend of improving health, offered by Krakow hotels, is to provide Spa & Wellness treatments. Hotels offering this type of services increase their occupancy rate and the chance to stand out among the rich tourist infrastructure of Krakow. The aim of the study is to diagnose the number of hotels offering Spa & Wellness amenities in selected hotels in Krakow. The study shows the shaping of the “health industry”, as well as further opportunities for the Krakow hospitality market associated with these services to develop.
