Upcoming Event

The Third International Wellness Tourism Expo (iWT) is set to take place from June 25-27, 2025, at Tokyo Big Sight, curated by RX Japan Ltd. This expo focuses on the evolving preferences of travelers who seek unique and restorative experiences instead of traditional relaxing vacations.

Shift in Traveler Demands

Investment in Mental Wellness

There has been a notable rise in individuals seeking travel options aimed specifically at enhancing mental health post-pandemic. Urban stress and lifestyle challenges are key factors driving the demand for such wellness tourism services.

Personalized and Active Wellness Experiences

The landscape of wellness tourism is also witnessing a transformation toward more personalized and active forms of relaxation, such as eco-centric tours and adventure travel, in contrast to passive vacation styles.

Conclusion

The expo promises to highlight the increasing diversity within wellness tourism, attracting a broader audience that includes a growing number of male travelers exploring health check-ups and mindfulness practices.
