How Discoverable Is Your Wellbeing Destination?

The way travellers discover wellness hotels, retreats and destinations is changing.

Search, social media, editorial coverage, AI recommendations, maps and word of mouth are increasingly working together — while travellers themselves are looking beyond beautiful spas towards experiences that help them sleep, move, reconnect, restore and live well.

The Roam 2027 Wellbeing Travel Visibility Guide has been created for hotels, retreat founders, wellness destinations, tourism organisations and travel PR professionals who want to understand this changing landscape.

Drawing on more than 20 years of wellbeing publishing and our experience discovering wellness destinations around the world, the guide explores what today's wellbeing traveller is looking for — and how destinations can communicate what makes them genuinely worth travelling for.
