Let’s collaborate and take a bite of this $7T pie! I have been creating innovative offerings for the luxury hospitality & Spa industry, helping my clients maximize their investments using wellness. The wellness and spa industry is poised for significant growth through 2025, with projections suggesting that the global wellness economy will reach approximately $7 trillion. This expansion is driven by a rising consumer focus on health, well-being, and self-care, accelerated by conscious shifts in lifestyle and values post-pandemic. Wellness Tourism is a key trend! After a sharp decline during the pandemic, it is expected to recover robustly, with a projected 21% annual growth rate. Travelers are increasingly seeking destinations that offer nature, sustainability, and mental wellness experiences, reflecting a deeper desire for holistic healing and rejuvenation. In 2025; Wellness Real Estate commands a juicy $580 billion. And reaching $210 billion; Meditation, mindfulness, and sensory therapies are becoming mainstream, as individuals seek effective ways to manage stress and anxiety. #mccann_mw #mccannnewyork #globalwellnessinstitute #wellnessresearch #futuristic #hospitalityconsultant #realestate #betterhumans #discovercollection #sixsenses #oneonlyresorts

I really need this but how do I choose?” This is a question I get asked a lot. With so many retreats and wellness experiences on offer, how do you begin to even choose or know which one is right for you? I’m going to share with you what I tell my clients, and you can do this too 🤗 Firstly, set an intention for what you wish to get out of the retreat or wellness experience. How do you want to feel when you walk out of this experience? What skills or tools do you wish to gain from the experience? Is there time for you to integrate these skills and reflect on your learnings? And ask yourself is this going to bring you joy? Once you have these, you can then look for a wellness travel experience that aligns for you. And if you need help, I’m happy to guide you ~ we offer a unique approach incorporating a pre travel guidance session and post travel integration session, along with tailor made wellness travel experiences ☺️ #wellnesstravel #wellnessretreats #transformativetravel #travelexpert

Is wellness just a trend or a new way of life? What if your next holiday could transform your health?  Imagine a trip that isn’t just a break but extends your life. That enhances your mental clarity and boosts your physical vitality.   Next month, Discover Collection's Global Director of Development and Wellbeing Chunxia Gao will be attending the Global Wellness Summit in St Andrews, Scotland (November 4-7) - it always delivers such fascinating research and we look forward to her insights.    According to the Global Wellness Institute, wellness tourism will more than double by 2027, reflecting a growing emphasis on personal health. Now, luxury travel isn’t just a getaway; it’s becoming an integral part of our health regime, promising longevity and healthy ageing. Picture the scene – luxury retreats focused on gut health and female-focused retreats – supporting women through all life stages – from fertility to menopause. This is the evolution of luxury travel – where each trip is an opportunity to nourish body and soul. What do you think? Could your next holiday extend your life?

The foundation of social wellness is connection. Those connections could be with yourself, your community, the environment, or to new skills or information. One of the fundamental values of business travel — and travel overall — is the ability to make strong, face-to-face connections. Beyond keeping your travelers satisfied and supporting retention, addressing wellness is critical for improving the resiliency of your employees and organization. We invite you to explore our Travel Well whitepaper so you can find ways to make wellness a cornerstone of your travel program. #DeltaAirLines #DeltaBusiness #CorporateTravelManagement #CorporateTravel #TravelIndustry #Wellness #SocialWellness

There are two sides to consider when creating your wellness concept: ☝🏼What you as a hotelier or operator wants to offer, and ✌🏼What your guests, as consumers of those services, want to consume The first step to developing any concept is to have clear what you want to offer, and that inevitably means looking at things from your perspective. However, to create a wellness asset, you need to know what your ideal guest wants and needs, too. Many times though we get caught up in the first stage because we think we know what our guests want. We aren’t used to putting our guests’ shoes on and looking back at ourselves afresh. We aren’t used to putting the consumer hat on when it comes to a business we know so well. So we make the same mistake over and over: that of thinking about what we want to sell, not what the market wants or needs. And as a result, we accidentally set ourselves up for failure: 👉🏼 we offer our guests something they aren’t too crazy about or that doesn’t match their expectations 👉🏼 we make our team’s job harder as they can’t deliver the remarkable experiences they want to 👉🏼 we make our lives difficult as we have unhappy guests, staff and owners Question: 👉🏼 Have you put your guest’s hat on and looked back at your offering afresh? #wellnessconcept #wellnessinhospitality

When we think of physical wellness, many of us think of getting regular exercise and eating well. While those are two important aspects, they don’t paint the full picture. Wellness has an enormous impact on organizations, travel programs and travelers. To help you place a stronger emphasis on well-being within your company, we’ve put together a thorough whitepaper to guide your next steps on how to make wellness a cornerstone of your travel program.   #DeltaAirLines #DeltaBusiness #CorporateTravelManagement #CorporateTravel #TravelIndustry #Wellness #PhysicalWellness
