TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Wellness tourism is poised to become a major trend in the coming years. According to the 2024-2025 Tourism Outlook, an impressive 56.41% of experts predict significant growth in this sector.
Today's travelers are no longer just seeking beautiful landscapes and cultural experiences; they are actively looking for trips that promote their physical and mental well-being, relaxation, and personal growth. Factors such as stress, fatigue, and a desire for detoxification are key drivers behind this shift.
With its rich biodiversity, diverse culture, and stunning natural beauty, Indonesia has immense potential in this field. Several of its wellness destinations have already gained international recognition, becoming favorite spots for travelers who want to combine a vacation with a focus on their health.
