WHAT IS WELLNESS TRAVEL?

Wellness Travel means different things to different people and that is why In This Life says “whatever’s good for the soul… do that!”. This allows you the chance to define what Wellness Travel means specifically to you.

In general terms, Wellness Travel, is travel taken for the purpose of health and well-being through physical, psychological or spiritual activities. It is more than just a Resort Spa holiday; Resort Spas are a component to this industry but far from the entire spectrum. Wellness Travel is also not medical travel, as medical travel is re-active to disease and illness, whereas Wellness Travel is pro-active in preventative actions to stimulate positive health.

In essence, it is travel with consideration to health and well being, with the Wellness elements available for you to enjoy.

Wellness is consciously becoming a fashionable lifestyle choice, for many modern societies. More and more people are taking time to carefully consider how they spend their holidays and recovery time. Many are now proactively scheduling breaks, to de-stress and detox so that they return from their time feeling rejuvenated and re-energised. It is for anyone who has an interest in health and wellbeing.

Consider these 3 important facts:

• "Psychological health is as important as physical health." [1]
• "350 million people worldwide suffer from Depression." [2]
• "Stress is the number one reason for taking a holiday." [3]
