The Global Wellness Institute (GWI) reported that in 2023, the global wellness economy reached a record high of $6.3 trillion and is projected to soar to a staggering $9 trillion by 2028. Wellness tourism ranks among the top growth leaders, expected to expand by 10.2 percent annually, alongside segments such as wellness real estate (15.8 percent) and mental wellness (12.2 percent).

As the world embraces well-being and meaningful experiences, the Philippines stands out as a destination for global travelers seeking unique and holistic wellness. With lush tropical landscapes, pristine beaches, and a deep-rooted culture of nurturing care, the country offers the perfect setting for physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual rejuvenation. 

Recognizing this immense potential, the Department of Tourism (DOT) has taken a strategic step to further solidify the country’s position in the wellness tourism sector. Through the launch of the International Health and Wellness Tourism Congress, the DOT aims to harness the rapid growth of the global wellness economy, attracting high-value travelers in search of transformative experiences. This initiative not only enhances the country’s tourism portfolio but also fosters sustainable tourism and long-term economic development.

Real estate is the next frontier of wellness

As demand for wellness-focused living grows, investors naturally look for environments that promote well-being and enhance quality of life, offering comfort, sustainability, and thoughtful design. According to GWI, wellness real estate refers to residences intentionally designed and built to support the holistic health of residents. This means that both homes and communities should incorporate key aspects of well-being, including physical, social, mental, emotional, environmental, and financial. 

Physical well-being flourishes when the design features promote an active lifestyle and support residents’ overall health. Social wellness is strengthened by shared spaces and amenities that foster meaningful connections with family, friends, and neighbors. Mental and emotional wellness thrive in environments that encourage a deep connection with nature, culture, traditions, and a greater sense of purpose. A well-designed space should also offer dedicated areas for rest, productivity, and personal passions.

Environmental wellness thrives in communities that promote sustainable, regenerative living by encouraging recycling, conserving natural resources, and preserving green spaces. Finally, financial wellness is strengthened when a district provides robust infrastructure, efficient transportation, and long-term investment value, driving high property appreciation.
