Pestle Analysis-Political

The political environment can impact the Spa industry in many ways. The
industry can be affected by the changes in government stability and policy. So the
Spa owners must consider the different policies, laws and regulations established by
the Philippine government to avoid legal problems. An example of a government
agency that promulgates the different massage practices are Department of Health
(DOH), Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA). Both the
Dept. of Health (DOH) and TESDA are perfect partners in the professionalization of
the local massage and spa industry. With DOH giving the entry level massage
regulatory requirements and TESDA to provide for advance massage skills
certification.
