Singapore’s wellness tourism economy has reached more than US$23 billion, with over 1 million inbound wellness trips, according to the report released this month by the Global Wellness Institute (GWI), a nonprofit organization dedicated to research and education in the global wellness industry.<\/p>\n
Singapore’s wellness economy grew at an annual rate of 8.2%, slightly exceeding the global average of 7.9%, highlighting Singapore’s emergence as one of the world’s leading urban wellness destinations, the report added.<\/p>\n
“Singapore has become one of the world’s most compelling examples of how wellness can be woven into the fabric of urban life,” said Susie Ellis, chair and CEO of GWI.<\/p>\n
“The country’s strong growth across wellness tourism, wellness real estate and mental wellness reflects rising global demand for destinations that support healthier, more balanced living.”<\/p>\n
The Singapore Tourism Board (STB) previous said that it wanted to develop Singapore as a wellness tourism destination amid the growing popularity of the trend \u2013 travel focused on improving one’s physical, mental and emotional well-being.<\/p>\n
Singapore has earned a reputation as a “City in Nature,” seamlessly blending urban development with wellness-focused living.<\/p>\n
This vision is evident from the moment visitors arrive at Jewel Changi Airport, home to the world’s tallest indoor waterfall surrounded by lush greenery, trees, and landscaped gardens.<\/p>\n
Beyond the airport, an extensive 300-kilometer Park Connector Network weaves through the city, connecting iconic landmarks such as Gardens by the Bay and Marina Bay Sands with parks and natural reserves.<\/p>\n
The network encourages travelers alike to stay active by walking, cycling, jogging, or rollerblading while exploring Singapore’s diverse attractions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Singapore’s wellness tourism economy has reached more than US$23 billion, with over 1 million inbound wellness trips, according…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":479518,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[138,219,111,139,69,377],"class_list":["post-479517","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-economy","tag-business","tag-economy","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-world"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/479517","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=479517"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/479517\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/479518"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=479517"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=479517"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=479517"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
