International travellers are increasingly choosing Australia as a wellness destination, due to:

​

1. Australia’s world-class reputation in a number of niche medical fields such as fertility treatment, particularly IVF, and heart surgery.

​

2. Australia's clean air, active lifestyle, fresh produce and spa culture.

​

3. The comparatively low-cost of medical treatment compared to major markets such as the United States, even with an unfavourable exchange rate. 

​

Wellness Tourism includes:

​

- travel for access to excellence in medical treatment, including assisted reproductive technologies, dental or cosmetic surgery.

​

- travel as a rite-of-passage, such as to a site of significance, during sabbatical or for sense of self.

 

- travel for sense of place and belonging ie returning home or to the mother country, connecting with family and/or ancestors.

​

- travel for business, such as conference-attendance, with the dual objective of improved wellbeing.

​

Travelling with the Wellness-Chaperone is a popular choice for Australians and International travellers for good reason:

​

1. Mental health has become a higher priority, with recognition of the very real consequences of stress and burnout.

 

2. Travel is typically associated with tension, stress and compromised immunity. 

 

3. Digestive health has become a higher priority since the release of evidence linking the microbiome to brain and immune function.  Most are aware of exposure to pathogens while travelling, but few recognise the opportunity for improved digestive health.

​

4. Many recognise the opportunity to reflect and make change while away from everyday busy demands.

​

Travelling with the Wellness-Chaperone is particularly good value when travelling with a group of friends, colleagues or family.

​

The Wellness-Chaperone facilitates the personal process of positive change and integration.
