Canada wellness holidays are a big hit in South Korea. The country enjoys popularity as a wellness travel destination according to a story from the Canadian Press about a survey done by the Canadian Tourism Commission. Read the full Canadian Press story below:

“The economy has taken a bite out of the travel plans of many South Koreans but Canada is gaining ground as a destination for those who can still afford a trip, says a recent report.

The latest Canadian Tourism Commission Global Tourism Watch South Korea report found the local economy has a negative outlook due to inflationary pressures, a weak Won, faltering domestic demand and deteriorating prospects for exports.

But Canada has gained ground over some competitors, emerging as an outdoors destination market leader alongside Australia.

Canada has also made inroads with South Korean nature lovers, the tourism commission notes.

Urban centres such as Montreal, Toronto, Calgary and Vancouver also attract Koreans. The wellness travel market in South Korea is hot, so there’s potential for Canadian spa-or resort-related vacations.

The Global Tourism Watch is a survey conducted by Harris/Decima Research, in which thousands of participants from around the world comment on how they perceive Canada and CTC’s “Canada. Keep exploring” tourism brand.”

CanadaWellnessHubs.com showcases wellness in tune people, institutions, companies, places, products, services, offers, events, communities and travel that puts Canada at the cutting edge of the global wellness revolution.

The spa sector is the leading player in health and wellness tourism in North America. In searching for health and wellness travel experiences, travelers can find structured and professionally delivered programs at several kinds of spa venues. These include club spas, cruise ship spas, day spas, destination spas, medical spas, mineral springs spas and resort/hotel spas.

According ISPA estimates there are about 2100 spas in Canada, with 75% of them categorized as day spas. Like the US, the Canadian spa industry segment is dominated by SMEs and most properties are independently owned. Forty-one percent of all spas in Canada are located in Ontario. British Columbia (19%), Quebec (18%), Alberta (12%), Atlantic Canada (6%), Manitoba/Saskatchewan (4%) and the Territories (0.4%) complete the regional breakdown.  Many of Canada’s spa facilities that cater to travelers, offer a prime year-round vacation experience. They cater to young and old alike – those consumers who seek a pleasant and energizing vacation of exceptional quality and personal care complete with specialized services such as massage therapy, therapeutic treatments, beauty care and healthful cuisine. Health and wellness programs in Canada focus on hydrotherapy [water based therapeutic treatments], algotherapy [all forms of the use of algae in therapeutic treatments], angotherapy [warm mud therapies], sudation [sauna], exfoliation, pressure therapy and several message techniques. Fitness programs, wellness assessment, and nutritional counseling are other services offered. Current research on Canada indicates that Canadians make some 20. 2 million spa visits annually. This compares to the estimate of 8 million in 2002 and represents nearly 2.5 times the number of visits.
