The results of the study indicated that the most common reason to motivate spa goers in both genders to go to day spa was relaxation, refresh, relieve stress respectively even though there were 9 benefit attributes that found statistically significance between genders. There were 16 important and performance attributes which found statistically significant between male and female.
