GLOBAL WELLNESS INSTITUTE RELEASES 2023 TRENDS REPORT

 
The Global Wellness Summit (GWS) has released its annual Future of Wellness trend report ($95), which annually predicts the newest directions in wellness. The report has identified 12 wellness trends for 2023 and hot springs make the list at number 8, Wellness + Water.
 
From the extract: The pandemic spurred a hunger for in-nature experiences that shows no signs of abating. But when we talk about the nature surge, we usually remain on terra firma. In 2023, people will jump into the world’s wild waters for some “blue wellness”— with an unprecedented global surge in new-look hot springs destinations and wild and cross-country swimming going global.

At the steamy end of the temperature spectrum, hot springs are now poised to be the next big thing in wellness. There are an unprecedented number of new and in-the-pipeline global destinations and new life is being breathed into long-forgotten facilities–from Australia to the US (where about 50 new projects are underway). . .
