Hotels add health to the menu
An increasing number of hotels are responding to growing global
demand for health and wellness and are catering to the physical and
psychological needs of guests while promising enhanced wellbeing – benefits
that visitors can take home when the holiday is over. A far cry from more
traditional vacations spent lounging on a beach or poolside chair. Intercontinental
Hotel Group (IHC), for example, created EVEN Hotels after conducting research
that found there are 17 million travelers who want hotels to accommodate their
healthy lifestyle needs. Westin hotels also
recently launched a Well-Being Movement and even Las Vegas’s MGM Hotel has
Stay-Well rooms.
