Welcome to the project transforming the present and defining the future of wellness tourism.

The Manual for the Design and Management of Wellness Routes is a pioneering and unprecedented initiative. More than just a book, it is a practical and strategic tool designed to drive promotion, economic development, and quality within wellness tourism offerings on an international scale.

We invite the global community of experts to join this collaborative effort. Your expertise will be fundamental in creating a resource destined to become the industry's gold standard.

Why is this Manual Crucial?

This project stems from the need to consolidate the industry's dispersed know-how into a structured and practical guide. It will serve as a key resource for:

  • Promoters and Tourism Boards: Offering clear strategies for designing high-impact wellness route experiences.

  • Governments and Regulators: Providing criteria for sector management and standardization.

  • Investors and Developers: Identifying success models and opportunities for sustainable growth.
