Within in two month of being appointed to a strategic position in the Caribbean Spa and Wellness Industry, Rosemarie Charles has been the main feature of a three page article in the Spring edition of the European Luxury Spa Travel Guide EMOTION SPA MAGAZINE.

The issue was launched at Cosmoprof, the world's largest beauty business trade show held in Bologna, Italy on April 7, 2006. The article, published in French and English highlighted the Caribbean region as potentially the future premier destination for International Spa travelers.

In her interview, Charles was quoted as saying: "The Caribbean has always remained untouched and preserved within its concept of Tourism as was emphasized during the November conference (Caribbean Spa & Wellness association) and will enable us to make this area a priority destination for Hotel, Resort and Outdoor Spa Clients."

Through the CSWA training committee, Charles is currently coordinating a consultative meeting of Spa trainers from throughout the region to be held at the Hilton Coral Resort in the Dominican Republic in November, 2006 as a prelude to a series of spa training seminars scheduled for 2007 in Jamaica, Barbados, Trinidad, St. Lucia and Grenada.

These efforts, as directed by the Caribbean Spa and Wellness Association (CSWA) are geared towards increasing awareness of the industry as well as improving personnel competence in preparation to deal with the challenges faced by the tourism products of the region.
