Not really fitting in any particular category, spa travel can combine adventure, budget, wilderness and even air travel to make a new lifestyle-oriented option that can be an excellent choice for people of all ages.
A recent survey found that travelers "are now more interested in traveling to spas specifically for programs like stress-reduction, fitness and weight loss," notes Susie Ellis, president of SpaFinder Wellness, a service that connects those seeking a healthy lifestyle with its worldwide network of wellness providers in a MySanAntonio report.
Just how popular is spa travel? Agents surveyed reported that spa travel bookings increased 37 percent in 2011, a "healthy" growth in and of itself. But that number nearly doubled for 2012 with agents reporting a 68 percent growth in the number of clients choosing spa travel last year.Better news: spa travel can be a real value-oriented choice with many agents reporting discount pricing on spa vacations. If the idea of centering travel on spa services sounds like something for older travelers, think again. The 26-45 age group is now most likely to book spa vacations. Another Hot spa travel destination? Mexico. Recovering from drug lord-induced bad press, this destination has some of the best deals around.
"The results are a clear indication that more travelers are deciding they simply can't afford exhausting, unhealthy vacations," concluded Ellis.
But what is spa-focused travel?
The bloggers at Traveling Mamas inspire women to explore the world via vacations with the kids, girlfriend getaways or romantic escapes. One option to make that happen is a spa vacation as we see in this video? in addition to their library of information ? on the topic.
