Wellness travel: The loneliness epidemic and wild swimming

New concepts and trends have been identified in the wellness travel sector this year. And several deal with how travelers are seeking help with the fallout, or the recovery, from the pandemic: Safe-space social settings to help people deal with the “loneliness epidemic”; anxiety relief; and water therapies – wild swimming, anyone? And like in many sectors, the sky’s the limit when it comes to premium accommodations, treatments and amenities. In this episode, host Rebecca Tobin, hospitality editor Christina Jelski and Tammy Pahel, the vice president of spa and wellness operations for the Carillon Miami Wellness Resort, talk about why travelers are seeking out self care – and how they’re doing it. This episode was recorded March 10 and has been edited for length and clarity.
