NEW YORK, July 11, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- XpresSpa Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: XSPA), a travel health and wellness company, announced it is expanding its operations outside the United States with the opening of XpresSpa locations at Istanbul Airport in Turkey beginning September 2022. This is the first of five new XpresSpa locations expected to open at Istanbul Airport. 

Scott Milford, XpresSpa CEO, said, "Establishing a presence in the region allows us to take advantage of the rapid growth of travel between Europe, Asia and the rest of the world. Istanbul Airport is one of the largest and fastest growing airports in Europe and this launch further solidifies our strategic position as a leading provider of health and wellness services globally.”

“This expansion allows us to further leverage our expertise in providing premium wellness services to more international passengers who appreciate health and wellness services and are willing to spend more in pursuit of their well-being. Some of the services available include massages, reflexology and aesthetic treatments ranging from ten-minute convenience services to more indulgent treatments for when travelers have time. These locations will also offer a full line of retail products and accessories—all designed to enhance a passenger’s travel experience and improve their overall well-being.”

Milford continued, “The addition of these new locations in Turkey as well as our expected expansion into Abu Dhabi support our continued effort to grow in markets that are favorable to our operating model and the unique set of products and services we offer to people on the go. We have built strong brand awareness in the US and plan on doing the same internationally. This expansion advances our efforts along those lines.”

XpresSpa currently operates six locations outside the U.S., three in Dubai International Airport in the United Arab Emirates and three in Schiphol Amsterdam Airport in the Netherlands. In 2023, the Company expects to leverage its existing footprint in Gulf Cooperation Council countries opening additional operations in Abu Dhabi and across the region.
