As the allure for wellness-centric luxury travel continues to dominate the 2025 landscape in Asia-Pacific, the Luxury Group by Marriott International unveils the groundbreaking Luxury Wellbeing Series 2025 from August. According to the Group’s latest luxury travel trends report – The Intentional Traveler, 90% of high-net-worth travelers cite wellness offerings as a key factor in their booking decisions. Evolving into a holistic lifestyle pursuit, wellness travelers are planning to spend more, and with more than half planning their wellness getaways with their immediate family or significant other.
