“I am seeing so many people wanderlusting and dreaming about where they want to go after this period of uncertainty and isolation ends. There is a huge world outside our door and people want to explore, connect, and travel to new destinations.” - Limor Decter, Ovation Travel Group
Industry Experts and Academics predict a healthy growth of wellness travel.
Wellness Immersions offer an opportunity to step out of our day-to-day and see our lives from a fresh vantage point. From there, we can overcome roadblocks and replace unproductive habits that don’t support us. A Wellness Immersion can help participants adopt a new perspective.
Wellness travel is not exempt from the search of atmosphere. Travelers may look for tranquility, luxury, or spiritual inspiration and guidance. When we look at how such unique atmospheres were (or could be) created, we are talking about the concept of ‘scapes’.
Wellness vacations and the programs they offer come in almost as many different styles as there are travelers.
The first-time wellness traveler almost always has a personal motivator and many regular guests enjoy these vacations to maintain their health and well-being, however they may also be working away at an individual goal or celebrating a success.
The Global Wellness Institute estimated that wellness tourism was a $639 billion global market in 2017, growing at more than twice the rate of general tourism and it is likely to be further fuelled by the focus onto personal health during the current COVID-19 pandemic.
