\u00a1Un estudio reciente realizado por SRI International<\/em> revela que el turismo del bienestar se ha convertido en un mercado de 439 mil millones de d\u00f3lares!<\/p>\n Un momento determinante para la industria del bienestar mundial tuvo lugar cuando, a principios de este mes, el informe Global Wellness Tourism Economy<\/i> valor\u00f3 su mercado con la asombrosa cifra de 439 mil millones de d\u00f3lares.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The figure was shared with delegates at the first Global Wellness Tourism Congress, which was held in New Delhi. To say it\u2019s a landmark study is probably a bit of an understatement. The insights this report has provided will help us, the spa industry, to better understand the global wellness economy on a much broader scale.<\/p>\n According to findings in the report, the global wellness economy is set to grow on average at around 9.9 per cent each year for the next five years \u2013 that\u2019s almost double that of global tourism\u2019s predicted growth rate. By 2017, global wellness tourism is predicted to have reached a record new height of $678.5 billion \u2013 16 per cent of world tourism\u2019s total turnover!<\/p>\n The growth of the wellness tourism market is great news, along with some other statistics which have been released from the report which are bound to have a positive effect on the spa industry.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Let\u2019s take a look at some of the interesting statistics that were shared by The Weekender which are important indicators as to why the future of the global wellness economy is looking so bright:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cWellness tourism is poised to reshape tourism as we know it. So many 21st century forces are fuelling it, including the rise of chronic diseases and the unprecedented stress of modern life,\u201d claimed GSWS keynote speaker and former present and CEO of the World Travel & Tourism Council, Jean-Claude Baumgarten. He went on to state that what people actually want from their ever-dwindling time off from work, is to achieve a ‘sea change’ – involving visiting destinations that can deliver not only enjoyment, but also physical, spiritual, emotional and environmental health.<\/p>\n The report was led by senior consultant Ophelia Yeung, and senior economist Katherine Johnston. Thanks to the findings, we can now see that the global wellness economy is set to have a drastic impact not only on the tourism industry as people change the way they travel, but also for the spa and related industries.<\/p>\n In the past, vacations have often been associated with overindulgence. Now it is clear more and more people are choosing healthier options, with spas being a top holiday choice.<\/p>\n La cifra fue compartida por los delegados del primer Congreso Mundial de Turismo del Bienestar, que se celebr\u00f3 en Nueva Delhi. Decir que se trata de un estudio sin precedentes es probablemente subestimarlo un poco. El conocimiento que nos ha proporcionado este informe nos va a ayudar, a la industria del spa, a comprender mejor la econom\u00eda mundial del bienestar a una escala mucho m\u00e1s amplia.<\/p>\n Seg\u00fan las conclusiones del informe, la econom\u00eda mundial de bienestar est\u00e1 destinada a crecer, en promedio, en torno al 9,9 por ciento cada a\u00f1o durante los pr\u00f3ximos cinco a\u00f1os – que es casi el doble que la tasa de crecimiento prevista para el turismo mundial. En 2017, el turismo de salud mundial se prev\u00e9 que haya alcanzado un nuevo nivel r\u00e9cord de 678,5 billones de d\u00f3lares \u2013 \u00a1un 16 por ciento de la facturaci\u00f3n total del turismo mundial!<\/p>\n El crecimiento del mercado del turismo del bienestar es una gran noticia, junto con algunas otras estad\u00edsticas que ha proporcionado el informe que inevitablemente tendr\u00e1n un efecto positivo en la industria del spa.<\/p>\n \n Echemos un vistazo a algunas de las interesantes estad\u00edsticas publicadas por The Weekender<\/i> y que son indicadores importantes para comprender por qu\u00e9 el futuro de la econom\u00eda mundial del bienestar se prev\u00e9 tan brillante:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n “El turismo del bienestar est\u00e1 a punto de cambiar el turismo tal y como lo conocemos. Muchos efectos del siglo 21 lo est\u00e1n alimentando, incluyendo el aumento de las enfermedades cr\u00f3nicas y el estr\u00e9s sin precedentes de la vida moderna”, afirm\u00f3 el portavoz de Global Spa and Wellness Summit<\/em> y ex presidente y director general del World Travel & Tourism Council<\/em>, Jean-Claude Baumgarten. El Sr.Baumgarten incluso afirm\u00f3 que lo que la gente realmente quiere obtener de su tiempo, cada vez menor, es un “cambio radical” \u2013 cosa que implica visitar destinos que puedan ofrecer no s\u00f3lo el disfrute, sino tambi\u00e9n una mejora de la salud f\u00edsica, espiritual, emocional y ambiental.<\/p>\n El informe fue dirigido por la consultora s\u00e9nior Ophelia Yeung y la economista Katherine Johnston. Gracias a sus resultados, ahora podemos darnos cuenta que la econom\u00eda mundial del bienestar va a tener un fuerte impacto, no s\u00f3lo en la industria del turismo dado que la gente est\u00e1 cambiando su forma de viajar, sino tambi\u00e9n en la industria del spa y afines.<\/p>\n En el pasado, las vacaciones a menudo se asociaban con indulgencia excesiva. Ahora est\u00e1 claro que cada vez m\u00e1s personas est\u00e1n optando por opciones m\u00e1s saludables, con los spas siendo una opci\u00f3n vacacional de primera categor\u00eda.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A latest study conducted by SRI International reveals wellness tourism has become a $439 billion market!
