Abstract

It's called "yoga tourism" when people go on vacation just for the goal of doing yoga, whether it's spiritual or physical. There are two types of spiritual tourism: one is strictly spiritual, while the other is a mix of spiritual and health-oriented travel. Yoga students and yoga instructors from across the world go to India's ashrams to further their practise or get certified. Rishikesh and Mysore are two popular destinations for yoga tourists. As the home of yoga and a popular tourist destination, India offers many different types of yoga retreats and vacations, from modest stays in guesthouses and ashrams to luxurious 5-star stays at luxury resorts and spas. The global tourism sector is approximately $3.2 trillion, with wellness travel accounting for 14% (or $439 billion) of that total. "Healthier lives at home are increasingly translating into people's travel and holiday routines," said Susie Ellis, Chairman and CEO of the Global Spa & Wellness Summit. When people want to get away from their everyday routines, they also want to utilise their vacation time and money to improve their fitness levels.
