Health and fitness travel predict top wellness travel trends for 2012

Health and Fitness Travel, leading active and wellness holiday specialists has uncovered their top wellness travel trends for 2012. The experts at Health and Fitness Travel are always researching and forecasting what are going to be the next big trends in this niche travel sector, and making sure their clients are always in the know with the latest and most up-to-date information. Here are Health and Fitness Travel’s latest predictions for 2012.

Spa and Culture

More spas around the world now enable you to dip your toes in another country’s culture and experience your destination on a holistic level. Combining a healthy getaway with culture is a way to experience spa therapies that are indigenous to the country you are visiting. More innovative spas have created treatments based on their local culture and customs.

Bootcamp for the Soul

We want more of a holistic approach to fitness. The new wave of active and wellness retreats help you wind down and tone up at the same time with a little bit of luxury in comparison to the tough military bootcamp approach. More holidays offer a gentler approach in how to exercise with dedicated tailor-made wellness programmes and some much needed time for relaxation.

Age Adapted Spas

We expect more generation spas to appear in 2012, adapted to the needs of specific age groups. Age adapted spas targeting younger groups will be focusing on the preventative aspect of healthy ageing, whereas 55+ spas will be incorporating rehabilitation treatments and looking at how to prevent age related diseases such as osteoporosis.

Holidaying with Health Gurus

Top health and fitness experts now work at some of the leading resorts around the world. More people want to receive dedicated support and guidance from the best in the industry; wellness retreats are bringing in the top yoga teachers, nutritionists, doctors, personal trainers and more health gurus to raise their game. Clients want to be inspired and informed so that they can lead a healthier and more fulfilling lifestyle when they return home.

Nutrition as a Foundation

Spas will start to focus more on nutrition with follow-up consultations in order for clients to make healthy changes to their lifestyle. It is imperative that more spas stress the importance of nutrition as we cannot expect to see proper results from spa treatments without the spa-goer making the necessary adjustments to their diet. The body needs to be looked at as a whole with nutrition being the most powerful way of working on the body, skin and mind.

Health and Fitness Consultations

Wellness retreats are introducing comprehensive health and fitness consultations to analyse clients’ needs in order to create a lifetime goal-driven tailor-made programme. This could range from losing weight to comprehensive post-recovery from an injury to building strength or flexibility.
