Ensuring Quality & Excellence
The SpaAsia Crystal Awards 2007 aims to provide a quality-driven
approach to honouring the best. Our submission process,
nomination and voting process ensures that:
- excellence is honoured regardless of size, reputation
and brand
- the selection of nominees that go forward to the advisory
panel and public vote is driven by quality and integrity
and not simply popularity
- benchmarking standards in the industry guide nominations
- the process is transparent

SpaAsia Crystal Awards 2007 Walkthrough
The Submission Process
Nomination for an award is not influenced by anything other than
the awards process itself. An entrant can only win if they have
submitted a report that fulfils all criteria for that category,
have passed the review by a Panel of Experts and the inspection
process, and gained the public vote. The winner would have obtained
the highest combined marks from an appointed panel of judges,
an independent audit or secret shop assessment and a readers’
poll which will be conducted online.
The submission, review, nomination, inspection and voting processes
are independently audited throughout by Spa Audit. The winners
will only be known by a representative of SpaAudit.com and SpaAsia
prior to their announcement at the SpaAsia Crystal Awards
Ceremony on October 4, 2007 at the SpaAsia Wellness
Summit in Manila, Philippines.
Submission Fee
For each category, the submission fee is USD100 (one hundred US
dollar). This is to support the cost of administering these improved
quality-driven awards through a longer and more stringent process.
The Submission Fee is the same for all entrants and all categories.
Gift Vouchers
In addition, those submissions which are short-listed in the first
phase of judging by the Panel of Experts will be required to submit
a gift voucher to the value of USD80 to be used for the auditing
process in order to secret shop the location. If short-listed
for the Best Signature Experience category, the Operator is required
to supply a gift voucher with a total value of the nominated treatment.
For selected categories, accommodation vouchers may be requested
for the audit process.
