Healthy holidays have never been more on trend and you can now find out which ‘sweatcation’ is best suited to you thanks to TID’s new Sweatcation Guide.
Fancy a hit of HIT (High Intensity Travel)? Recent research from Travel Insurance Direct (TID) revealed that more than a quarter (27%) of Aussie travellers have taken an overseas ‘activity’ holiday, or a ‘sweatcation’, to boost their health, fitness and wellbeing – be it for body or soul – and 35% of those surveyed saying it is something they plan to do in the future.
In line with the TID research, a new Global Wellness Tourism Economy report compiled on behalf of the Global Health and Wellness Summit discovered the health and fitness tourism trend is now worth a whopping AUD$462 billion a year.
The GWTE predicts this is set to swell to $715.6 billions by 2017, rising at a rate nearly 50% faster than the conventional tourism market.
“Healthy holidays are on the rise,” says Samantha Lippiatt from Health and Fitness Travel, Aussie-based experts in tailored, healthy holidays.
“We’re seeing more and more people come to us wanting to make their holidays about their wellbeing, and it extends beyond yoga classes and juice bars in hotels. We are seeing an increase in the over sixties wanting an active holiday as a form of preventative healthcare, as well as healthy honeymooners and families wanting to be active together.”
