The Health Benefits of Experiential Travel and Why It’s the New Luxury

With the rise in demand for quality experiences, travellers are seeking depth and mastery over speed and variety. We are seeing more people searching for niche experiences where they can dive deep into a subject, activity or adventure and fully engage with themselves, others and the destination. In our latest article we discuss this rising trend for fulfilling, educative experiences and why it is being viewed as the new luxury approach to travel and wellness.

“Travellers are increasingly aware of the impact their choice of destination has on their overall health and psychological well-being, as a result we’re seeing a growth in search for self-fulfillment, upskilling and personal growth through travel. As the hotel industry recognises these trends, experiential, holistic and wellness travel is today a primary consideration in guest experience and concept curation.  

There is a growing appreciation for simplicity, a rejection of how complex our lives have become and how we often feel that we always have to be ‘on’. Especially in the current climate with many people attempting to work from home for the first time and finding that their personal and professional lives are blurring into one with boundaries obscured and stress levels growing.”
