Wellness tourists embrace a variety of activities including healthy eating, spa and beauty, eco and adventure, and fitness as well as more internal pursuits such as personal growth, mind-body, and spiritual endeavors. Non spa-related, healthy travel represents the majority of the wellness tourism market, with spa tourism representing the remaining 41 per cent.
