~ Introducing the meaning and trends of wellness tourism ~


What is Wellness Tourism?


Merits of Wellness tourism 

Decreases stress and refreshes the body

Today's hectic lifestyles make it easy for people to develop physical and mental disorders. Many studies have shown that simply getting away from the daily routine helps to have a positive psychological effect, which can reduce stress and improve the quality of sleep.


New discoveries and self-development

Travelers can find new perspectives by experiencing nature, food, exchange, and other local lifestyle and cultural aspects.
Such experiences provide opportunities for new discoveries and personal development, leading to a richer life.


Return to your starting point and gain energy for tomorrow

Spending as much time as possible in a travel destination, experiencing nature and local specialties, and feeling with all of the senses will help you regain your natural immunity and vitality, and "return" to your true self.
In other words, we can go back to the starting point.
