Wellness tourism is about as wide-ranging as the travel industry itself and there’s a vast spectrum of the types of trips that travellers take to improve their well-being. As more airports add spas and hotels create or acquire brands designed to help travellers maintain healthy lifestyles, most global travellers aren’t taking trips specifically for wellness purposes. This is according to research from the Global Wellness Institute, an organisation that educates the public and private sectors about preventative health and wellness.
