ABOUT Wellness Week
Wellness Week is a strategic marketing initiative created to enhance the economic vitality of a community. Wellness Week showcases the locale as a desirable location for locals and visitors to focus on their mind, body, soul and overall wellness through special offers, activities, and events held throughout the community.
Motivated by the desire for healthy living, stress reduction, and authentic life experiences, visitors are seeking out destinations that they can travel to not only compliment their overall well-being but also improve their quality of life. The Global Wellness Institute defines “wellness tourism” as travel associated with the pursuit of maintaining or enhancing one’s personal well-being. Expected to skyrocket by 2027, wellness tourism allows visitors to turn their travel experience into an opportunity to improve overall their health and well-being.
