New South Wales is pitching itself as a leader in wellness travel, which the Global Wellness Institute shows is worth almost AUD1.2 trillion globally.
Australia is the fifth largest wellness tourism market worldwide and Destination NSW’s Karen Jones says wellness is woven into NSW’s visitor experience.
“From our beaches and national parks to our food, wine, cultural and sporting experiences, NSW offers countless ways to support wellbeing. Importantly, these experiences make wellness travel more inclusive and accessible than ever before.”
Global Wellness Day’s Australian ambassador Katherine Droga says travellers are increasingly seeking experiences to slow down and reconnect both physically and emotionally.
