“From the moment that you lose your health, it is too late. Health brings a freedom very few realize, until they no longer have it.”
Wellness
Adventures
Our modern lifestyle has brought us to an unprecedented level of convenience and comfort. With just a click, tap, or swipe, we can have everything we need delivered to our doorstep at the speed of the internet. However, this lifestyle has its dark side. It has led to higher levels of obesity due to a sedentary lifestyle, social isolation due to decreased face-to-face interactions, and even contributes to climate change due to increased transportation emissions. Furthermore, misinformation on the internet often guides our decision-making, leading to potentially harmful consequences. As we enjoy the benefits of our click-and-deliver lifestyle, it is important to be aware of its negative impact and take steps to mitigate them.
Why Wellness Matters
Wellness matters because everything we do and every emotion we feel relates to our well-being. ... Therefore, it is important for everyone to achieve optimal wellness in order to subdue stress, reduce the risk of illness and ensure positive interactions. With an aging population and increasing health care costs, the need for pro-active self-care and wellness has become more apparent than ever before.
Inactivity is the New Normal
Medical science has continued to make new discoveries, and as consumers become more educated, the interest in wellness has become one of the fastest-growing industries in the world. It is no longer enough to simply treat illnesses; people are seeking ways to maintain their health and prevent diseases from occurring in the first place. The focus has shifted from reactive medicine to proactive self-care, with a focus on nutrition, exercise, and mindfulness. As a society, we are recognizing the importance of taking care of ourselves, and the wellness industry is poised for even more growth in the coming years.
Sustainability Movement and Climate Change
Tourism is responsible for roughly 8% of the world’s carbon emissions, making it a significant contributor to climate change. Sustainability and climate change is a major concern for the wellness traveler. They want to know what a lodging sustainability statement is and their ecological footprint. Do they support ethical economic development in their communities, which means everything from minimizing plastic consumption and making greener transportation choices to eating at locally-owned restaurants and booking eco-conscious accommodations.
