Transcript

Health is the new luxury. By 2034, wellness tourism will be a $2,000,000,000,000 industry, and already 20% of travelers are choosing wellness focused trips. So where are they going? Here are the top five countries currently dominating the wellness travel revolution. First up at number five, Japan. Japan's ancient onsen culture goes as far back as 3,000 years ago. They even have the oldest hotel in the world founded in July. Today, spas like Amanimu feature private onsen pavilions within thermal spring gardens, combining traditional sequences with modern recovery techniques. Number four is Austria. Tier, you get pristine alpine nature combined with centuries old healing traditions. Hotels like Hotel Krollerhof seamlessly blend wellness into the landscape. Check out the infinity pool that looks like it's floating on a lake for a high dose nature exposure. Number three, Switzerland. Tier, you have medical precision with cutting edge longevity technology. They've perfected wellness like it's an art form. No Palais Suites has the ultimate longevity laboratory with science based protocols and advanced diagnostics. Hard to beat. But at number two, we have Indonesia. The remote islands there offer a kind of wild wellness that no luxury spa can replicate. Nihi Sumba's equine wellness program includes swimming with horses and traditional plant based treatments. Truly unique. And finally, in the top spot, Thailand. It's the birthplace of modern detox tourism, where traditional healing meets medical practices. Kamalaya Wellness Sanctuary, founded by a former Himalayan monk, combines Better spirituality with Western science in a 300 year old meditation cave. That's hard to beat. Which wellness destination would you visit first?
