The customer's expenditure on various social and healthy well-being services has increased, due to factors such as an increase in disposable income, thereby anticipating market growth. The growing number of stressful lifestyles characterized by work-related stress, which will in turn favor services such as massages, yoga classes, accommodation, and boarding, are driving the wellness tourism market. To gain a competitive edge, vendors on the market are focusing on providing quality services.

The revenue of the major players in the wellness tourism market dropped significantly due to COVID-19. Countries later started lifting lockdown restrictions, and people preferred to travel for stress relief, resulting in the recovery of revenue in the Asia-Pacific wellness tourism market.
