The latest in wellness travel: Hard vs. soft experiences

Wellness travel is entering a new golden era: Strong growth is predicted in the next three years, according to the Global Wellness Institute. So what does it mean to travel for wellness in 2024?

They delved into wellness-travel trips -- mindful surfing in Costa Rica, exclusive golfing at the new Sensei resort in California and a stay at a traditional wellness-themed resort -- that formed the basis for a Travel Weekly cover story about the myriad experiences that make up today's wellness-travel market.
