Travelers who seek a respite from the stress associated with a hectic work schedule have plenty of options from which to choose as hotels and resorts have embraced the concept of wellness tourism.
Wellness tourism is big business. The industry currently generates $651 billion annually and has a forecasted average annual expenditure growth of 16.6% to 2027, according to the Global Wellness Institute. From Gen Z to Babyboomers, travelers of all ages are seeking destinations that offer a wellness component. As a result, people are “bathing” in forests, biohacking, participating in chakra sessions or taking yoga classes with goats. Regardless of the preferred wellness initiatives of travelers, there is simply no denying that health and wellness combine to create a behemoth industry whose spiraling growth seemingly has no limits.
