High-quality business management is required for wellness lodging which has good health as the main focus. This paper includes two studies. First, based on the dimension of the EFQM (European Foundation for Quality Management), the managers and owners from 22 domestic sites, including leisure hotels and resorts, spa hotels, leisure farms, and bed and breakfast accommodations were interviewed to develop a business model framework for wellness lodging. Second, the Wellness Lodge Business Performance Assessment Scale (WLBPAS) was created by experts, scholars and practitioners based on their examination of this framework. The assessment tool has nine quality evaluation criteria for wellness lodge services: leadership, policy and strategy, people, partnerships and resources, processes, customer results, employee results, society results, and key performance results. A total of 66 index items were produced and tested on 347 potential owners. The study found that leisure hotels and resorts, spa hotels and leisure farms consider these indexes more important than do bed and breakfast owners. Because the demands for wellness lodging are so great, there may be more potential for the owners of leisure hotels and resorts, spa hotels and leisure farms to develop quality wellness lodges than bed and breakfast owners. The study results could be used as a reference to develop wellness lodging management, evaluation, certification, and educational training in Taiwan’s domestic tourism. |
