Wellness
Travel in America: Shaping Health, Businesses & Economy
provides unprecedented data on wellness travel in the United States,
examining a broad spectrum of stakeholders and confluences between
sectors affecting both population and economic health. A culmination
of U.S. consumer survey data and extensive research across multiple
industries, the report can be used to understand how wellness travel
can play a significant role in disease prevention, workplace
wellness, vacation policy development, tourism development and
destination marketing.
Over
60 tables and figures are contained in this comprehensive 90-page
document. The report includes an extensive review of wellness trends,
workplace policies, and proprietary data collection and analysis of
US consumers interested in healthy travel resulting in a data-driven
profile marketers can use to promote their brand.
Epidemic
levels of stress, obesity, sleep problems and lack of balance between
home and work are drivers to the surging interest in wellness,
affecting the way businesses operate. While wellness has garnered
attention over the last several years, there has been very little
discussion regarding what wellness travel means to U.S. consumers,
businesses and the travel industry.
Concepts
such as wellness vacations, healthy hotels, and business related
wellness perks are on the rise as organizations seek to contain
healthcare costs and drive volume and profits.
This
report can be used to:
• Better
integrate wellness concepts in leisure travel and business
• Gain
understanding of wellness travel consumers, their interests,
perceptions and needs as well as motivations, decisions and
preferences in order to
• Better
conceptualize wellness tourism as away to mitigate health, social and
environmental problems related to an urbanized, industrialized world
• Improve,
innovate and create travel products and services to positively impact
health, happiness, productivity and ultimately strengthen America's
economy
• Promote
healthy lifestyle vacation travel as an engine for economic growth,
personal enrichment and better work/life balance
