The grand opening of the first Bali International spa and wellness expo 2011 taking place at Sanur Paradise Convention Center was officially opened by the minister of Health, Mrs Endang Rahayu Sedyaningsih today.
1st Bali international Spa & Wellness Expo 2011 opened on march 9th 2011 at 10:55 WITA, started with the welcoming speech from the committee organizer report about the exhibition by Mr Felix Rusli as the chairman committee, as well as the organizer and then followed by the speech from Mr.Nyoman Swijana as the representative of PHRI Bali and Mrs. VF Lulu Widjaja from Bali Spa & Wellsess Association (BSWA). The event will last for 3 days, starting from March 9 - 11 2011 at Sanur Paradise Convention Center, followed by 48 Exhibitors from various local , national and international companies.
The Taman Mini Indonesia Indah, Lampung province pavilion presented two beautiful traditional dances during the opening ceremony.
She does hope through this expo, we can be aware of our potential to be a center of health tourism in Asia where we can run medical spa as well. As we know every time people get sick they usually rush to Singapore, China and other countries while here in Indonesia, especially Bali, the patients can enjoy the beauty of tourism objects while having medical spa and wellness for their recovery. She is glad to hear that Sanglah hospital is underway to run medical spa in Bali and will be followed by other hospitals in Indonesia.She also cited during her opening remarks that we had to improve the image or negative connotation about spa itself and focus on herbal medicine . It is time we used traditional medicine instead of western medicine. Especially Indonesia is very rich in its herbs. It doesn't mean western medicine is not good, but we must start cultivating and utilizing our herbal heritage.
Indonesia is poised to become an important center for medical tourism due to its low cost of treatment, highly qualified doctors, and extremely modern hospitals. But,unfortunately it is not ranked among the four top centers of medical tourism in Asia – Thailand, India, Singapore, and Malaysia. Indonesia provides many patients to these medical tourism countries, which can provide cheaper medical care.
She also hoped that there would be a sort of cooperation between hospitals and spas to create a spa facility for an international hospital as an alternative treatment, so that people do not need to take treatment abroad but love Indonesian products instead..
After the opening remarks, the minister escorted by her entourage was conducting site inspection around the exhibition area which was participated by 48 spa and wellness companies and associations such as BSWA, Bali Hotel association, spa factory , Tawada healthcare, Jamu Spa traditional spa, Victus Life Bio company, etc
At the expo area, we could see a lipomassage demo provided by Tawada healthcare. According to Shanti Sarawati, the product manager,since 1999, Tawada Healthcare has been in the forefront of Indonesia healthcare technology provider. With excellent service and focused teams, companies from all around the world have chosen us as their distributing partner for the Indonesian market.

Denpasar, Rumah sakit merupakan tempat pengobatan kesehatan. Namun, tak lama lagi, pasien bisa mendapatkan pengobatan sekaligus menikmati layanan spa di rumah sakit.
Salah satu rumah sakit yang akan membangun layanan spa adalah Rumah Sakit Umum Pusat (RSUP) Sanglah, Denpasar, Bali.
"RSUP Sanglah, ada rencana membuka layanan spa," kata Menteri Kesehatan dr Endang Rahayu Sedyaningsih usai membuka acara Bali International Spa and Wellness Expo di Hotel Sanur Paradise, Jl By Pass Sanur, Denpasar, Rabu (9/3/2011).
Ia berjanji akan segera membuat regulasi perizinan bagi rumah sakit yang tertarik membuka layanan spa kepada para pasiennya. "Pemerintah akan membuatkan regulasinya agar izinnya jelas," katanya.
Endang pun membuka pintu bagi rumah sakit yang ingin memberikan layanan spa. "Bagi rumah sakit yang akan membuka itu, kita silakan karena bisa memakai izin rumah sakit. Tapi yang mau buka sendiri harus nunggu izin," jelasnya.
Sebagai salah satu bentuk layanan kesehatan, spa tidak hanya menawarkan perawatan tubuh tetapi juga sering dimanfaatkan untuk relaksasi atau meredakan stres dan rasa letih. , layanan yang diberikan di spa sangat beragam mulai dari pijat refleksi, facial hingga sauna.
Tidak semua orang menganggap spa sebagai kebutuhan hidup sehat karena bagi sebagian , spa hanya dipandang sebagai tuntutan gaya hidup. Oleh karena itu tak heran jika ada yang memandang spa identik dengan kemewahan karena tarif layanannya memang relatif mahal.
RSUP Sanglah saat ini telah memiliki klinik herbal dan akupuntur. Rumah sakit terbesar di Bali ini akan membuka klinik spa di tahun 2011. "Pengobatan tradisional jadi pelengkap. Kalau pasien membutuhkannya, tentu kami layani . Saat ini sudah ada klinik herbal dan akupuntur. Klinik spa akan dibuka akhir Desember 2011," kata Direktur Medik dan Keperawatan Anak Agung Ngurah Jaya Kusuma.

Because of Spa ingredients such as frangipani flowers and Turmeric, Indonesian spa became the limelight in Nuremberg, Germany at the Freizeit exhibition which took place in Nuremberg, Bavaria State.
Consul General in Frankfurt, Damos Dumoli Agusman, in his statement received from London, on Wednesday said many visitors admired the Indonesian spa products such as scented frangipani flowers and Turmeric.
Many visitors asked about the ingredients contained in the Indonesian spa products such as turmeric, lemon grass, flowers and frangipani is something new, he said.
Consulate General Frankfurt officially opened pavilion spa products and tourism during the five-day operation of the exhibition which was held earlier this month in Nuremberg.
In the exhibition, Frankfurt Consulate General in cooperation with local travel agency owned by citizens of Indonesia offered tour packages to visit Bali, Sumatra and Medan, Toraja, Surabaya, Komodo Island, and Sumba.
Bali remains a favorite destination for potential tourists in Nuremberg and the surrounding city. Indonesian spa product has not been well known by the public in Nuremberg and the surrounding city.
Therefore,we need to actively promote such products either through the exhibition of tourism and other related trade shows.
Meanwhile Erlina Omar, owner of "Bali Beauty Spa" which was invited to be a partner by Consulate General in Frankfurt said communities in Nuremberg and its surrounding cities do not know much about Indonesian.spa and other spas.
They generally still use local products containing mud and local plants, he said.
Promotional activities to introduce the spa products of Indonesia should be done continuously in Germany, especially at the city like Nuremberg.
With four potential buyers , the two German spa owners and two owners of spas and hotels Austria, Erlina said she was quite satisfied with the results of promotions at the fair.
Freizeit Nuremberg Exhibition 2011 is an annual exhibition that offers a wide range of products and services related to travel and tourism, camping and caravans, outdoor and sports, gardening, and car and bicycle held since 1968 and Indonesia's first time participating in this exhibition was visited by more than 90,000 people from Nuremberg and the surrounding city.

London (ANTARA) - Produk Spa Bunga Kemboja dan Kunyit Indonesia menjadi perhatian masyarakat Nurnberg, Jerman dalam pameran "Freizeit" yang berlangsung di Nurnberg, Negara Bagian Bayern.
Konjen RI di Frankfurt, Damos Dumoli Agusman, dalam keterangannya yang diterima Antara London, Rabu menyebutkan pengunjung sanjungan Indonesia banyak yang mengagumi produk spa Indonesia beraroma bunga Kemboja dan Kunyit.
Banyak pengunjung bertanya mengenai bahan-bahan yang terkandung dalam produk spa Indonesia yang menurut mereka bahan-bahan seperti kunyit, sereh, bunga-bungaan seperti Kemboja merupakan sesuatu yang baru, ujarnya.
KJRI Frankfurt membuka anjungan produk spa dan pariwisata selama lima hari penyelenggaraan pameran yang diselenggarakan awal bulan di Nurnberg.
Dalam pameran tersebut, KJRI Frankfurt bekerja sama dengan biro perjalanan setempat milik warga Indonesia menawarkan paket-paket wisata kunjungan ke Bali, Sumatra dan Medan, Toraja, Surabaya, Pulau Komodo, dan Sumba.
Bali masih merupakan destinasi favorit bagi calon wisatawan Nurnberg dan kota sekitarnya. Produk spa Indonesia belum banyak dikenal masyarakat Nurnberg dan kota sekitarnya.
Untuk itu, perlu mempromosikan secara aktif produk-produk tersebut baik melalui pameran pariwisata maupun pameran dagang terkait lainnya.
Sementara itu Erlina Umar, pemilik spa "Bali Beauty Spa" yang digandeng KJRI Frankfurt, masyarakat Nurnberg dan kota sekitarnya belum banyak mengenal dan mengetahui produk spa lainnya.
Mereka pada umumnya masih menggunakan produk lokal yang mengandung lumpur dan tumbuhan lokal, ujarnya.
Kegiatan promosi untuk memperkenalkan produk-produk spa Indonesia perlu terus menerus dilakukan di Jerman khususnya kota-kota seperti Nurnberg.
Dengan empat pembeli potensial masing-masing dua dari pemilik spa Jerman dan dua pemilik spa dan hotel Austria, Erlina menyatakan cukup puas dengan hasil promosi pada pameran tersebut.
Pameran Freizeit Nurnberg 2011 adalah pameran tahunan yang menawarkan berbagai ragam produk dan jasa terkait perjalanan dan pariwisata, berkemah dan karavan, outdoor and sports, berkebun, serta mobil dan sepeda diselenggarakan sejak 1968 dan Indonesia pertama kali ikut berpartisipasi pada pameran ini yang dikunjungi lebih dari 90.000 orang yang berasal dari kota Nurnberg dan sekitarnya.
