"I have seen the growth of wellness facilities over 30 years during my work in the design and construction of hotels and resorts worldwide. Certification is required for many elements of property development. However, there had been a noticeable gap—an absence of a dedicated certification platform and process specifically for wellness facilities. WITT provides this especially important service and enables facilities to market their product better and to drive more occupancy and revenue. WITT also ensures a consistent quality of product and service across all the many facets of wellness during the development of a new facility, conversion of an existing facility and the ongoing operations.”
