Organisers of this year’s unique SPATEX Virtual format have been promoting the fact that there is currently a unique reality of an extended period for the wet leisure showcase where registered visitors can still access ISPE seminars and exhibition booths, including those that are providing the ‘not to be missed’ chance to become dealers of Beachcomber hot tubs, as well as Master Spas hot tubs and swim spas.
Family-run wet leisure and outdoor product specialist Award Leisure has been utilising the online capability of the SPATEX Virtual exhibition hosted on the vFairs platform to promote its new status as exclusive UK distributor for the famous Beachcomber brand.
During SPATEX Virtual the Beachcomber booth is showcasing new Silver, Gold and Platinum dealer packages as part of a limited opportunity for showroom retailers to become a supplier of Beachcomber hot tubs with special edition designs from the Canadian manufacturer.
Prospective dealers can check out the Beachcomber booth that is highlighting Award Leisure’s launch of the dedicated UK retailing packages and promotion of Beachcomber’s 2021 Special Edition Hybrid4 Hot Tubs (SE) that incorporate the British Columbia-based manufacturer’s patented FlexJet technology and up to 150 jetting configurations.

Meanwhile, SPATEX Organiser Michele Bridle has reported that there is no need to worry if you have not yet viewed any or all of the 22 seminars organised by ISPE for this year’s SPATEX Virtual edition.
These seminars received an audience of 2,435 people over the three ‘live’ days of the online exhibition and, as with the exhibition booths, they can still be accessed in the Seminar Arena via the lobby area of the online platform, pictured, until the March 6 deadline. The beauty of this virtual format is the fact that you can take a break from tuition and then return to the seminars at any time day or night before the time runs out to gain the specialist product and training advice.
“The high amount of content that visitors downloaded, and the huge amount of interest shown in the seminar programme, are testimony to the value of the show,” declared Michele Bridle; “ It’s an added bonus that all this information is still accessible until March 6.
“Whilst we are proud to have created a high-quality virtual platform for our industry to connect at this time, there is no substitute for face-to-face business, so we are looking forward to the return of a live event at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry from February 1 to February3, 2022.”
