The traditional perception of wellness travel is changing.
“Today travellers are seeking to enhance their physical, mental, emotional, or social wellbeing through a vast array of sustainable tourism experiences. These also include nature based, paddock to plate and indigenous offerings as well as amazing spas and retreats.”
Welcoming the hosting of the Summit, Helen Edwards, Chair of Adelaide Hills Tourism, added “we are delighted to be hosting Wellness Tourism Unearthed in the Adelaide Hills. We feel the region is perfectly placed to capitalise on this sustainable and booming visitor segment.”
This event is part of the Adelaide Hills Tourism new Wellness-led Tourism Resilience Initiative funded through the Local Economic Recovery (LER) support under the National Bushfire Recovery Fund from the South Australian and Federal Governments.
