Sous réserve de confirmation en contexte, il me semble qu'on parle ici du secteur du SPA en général, qui est plus large que la balnéothérapie uniquement.

le secteur du bien-être


Explanation:
"No Regulation of The Word "Spa"
No one is regulating use of the word spa. That's why some salons promote spa services when all they have is one massage table, or use names like "spa pedicure." At a minimum, a day spa should offer professionally administered massages, facials and body treatments in a quiet, serene atmosphere."

"Spa : il n'existe pas de consensus autour de ce terme, qui désigne de façon générique, hors de l'Hexagone, tous les endroits liés au bien-être qui utilisent une approche globale de l'individu".
