A latest survey by Baleno and spa tourism association has revealed that the spa industry in Bulgaria is making headway this year, unlike the last decade. The last decade saw a lot of crisis in the spa industry but this year the spa costs have increased by 8 percent. Several travellers enjoy the spa services provided by the hotels in Bulgaria.
The owners of the spa businesses believe that the industry will progress in 2012 as Russian and Turkish tourists get visa without any difficulty these days. Initially, the cities of Devin and Velingrad owned Balneo spa hotels.
The best of all the SPA hotels are situated near Black Sea coast. The extensive utilization of mineral waters has made the Bulgarian spa culture matchless and better as compared to the Russian and Turkish baths as well as the Asian massage centers. These spa centers provide effective solutions for the people suffering from various illnesses and stress related problems.
The local authorities of the spa hotels, however, are not absolutely satisfied as they see loop holes in the strategy planning, regulations and laws made for recruitment and training of the staff. They believe that these issues might affect the future of Balneo spa tourism.

A recent research by U.S. Food and Drug Administration has revealed that Women who utilize a particular range of skin care products are likely to suffer from mercury poisoning. The Federal health officials also warned women regarding the usage of skin care products on 6th march 2012.
Gary Coody who is a national health fraud coordinator of the Food and Drug Administration's Office of Regulatory Affairs said that "Seven states are involved in the sale of skin care products which are mass-produced outside the United States and all of them have mercury."
The national health fraud co-coordinator was of the opinion that several skin care products including skin lighteners, anti-aging formula creams as well as age spot removers, are found to contain dangerous mercury content. Women have been made aware of these mercury ingredients used in skin care products like mercurous chloride, calomel, mercuric or mercury.
Charles Lee, who is a senior medical advisor at the FDA, revealed that Mercury not only harms the nervous system, but also causes damage to the growth of brain in unborn children. He advised that women should choose skin care products with minimal ingredients and should beware of beauty products without labels or ingredient list.
