“There is lots of work to be done and lots of long days ahead to get our members maximum relief. I’m hopeful that when things return to normal some of these draconian measures to tamp down the spread of COVID are repealed.”

Industry Experts and Academics predict a healthy growth of wellness travel.
Do you know the difference between mental health & mental wellness? And why should you care? The Global Wellness Institute found that the 2019 mental wellness industry is a $120.8 billion market. When we look more closely, we see that $86 billion came from modalities that are available through travel. Here lies an opportunity for travel advisors.
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.
Healing travel is designed for emotional and physical healing. The ultimate goal is to heal your soul. Someone traveling for healing has the intention of being open to receive support, the willingness to go deeper within.
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’.
For those clients in need of pampering and concerned about human contact, a touchless itinerary is a fantastic option.
