EXPRESS YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE IDEA OF MEDICAL AND WELLNESS TOURISM TO BE OFFERED IN
OUR LOCALITY IN A SHORT ESSAY. (300 WORDS).

Health tourism encompasses those types of tourism whose main motivation is to contribute to physical,

mental and spiritual health through medical and wellness activities that increase people's
ability to meet their own needs and to better themselves as individuals to function
their environment. The holistic view of wellness tourism has implications for strategic marketing
processes. Destination management organizations and business leaders should segment their
demand for more innovative criteria than traditionally accepted for wellness in terms
of medical care and medical procedures. Tourist value propositions must be wellness-centric to
meet the growing demand for  wellness, and must involve the involvement of all different actors and
producers within the wellness-tourism supply system in wellness destinations. Wellness tourism
must incorporate experiential elements as well as the travel and experiential product
components of, a thriving industry, into any comprehensive definition of the term.

Wellness tourism is a holistic mode of travel that integrates the pursuit of physical health, beauty or
longevity, increased spiritual awareness or knowledge, and a
connection to community, nature, or divine mysteries. It includes a range of tourism experiences in
destinations with wellness products, adequate infrastructure, facilities and natural and
wellness resources. Tourist infrastructure (restaurants, resort, water park), wellness lifestyle (fitness
club, Mind-Body studio), well-being and prevention (health centers, community medicine).
Current interests lead the authors to a definition of motivation, since the explicit aim of this chapter is to
consider in detail the driving psychological forces that produce wellness tourism. Researchers need to
explain exactly what range of human needs, products and services they are considering.

In this way, a cumulative and integrative understanding of the phenomenon can be built through a
combination of refined definitions and by providing evidence for visitor and management
activities. These concerns provide opportunity, defined here as the wide range of services and
experiences that people consciously seek when traveling to advance all forms of their health and
happiness.
