November 2025
Winter is setting in. Temperatures are plunging and sunshine is sparse. With the seasonal blues descending, it’s the perfect time to sell your clients on a vibrant wellness vacation. In this month’s newsletter, we feature both warm-weather and cold-weather destinations where wellness seekers can nurture their bodies and spirits.
At Wellness Travel University, we love introducing you to little-known wellness destinations around the world. This month, we are debuting a new specialty course featuring the Fukui prefecture, located on the Sea of Japan north of Kyoto. The scenic area offers a bounty of wellness opportunities for the traveler who likes to get off the beaten path. WTU Gold Certified advisors can take the course for free.
If your clients do end up in Japan, they may want to add East Hokkaido’s Akan-Mashu National Park to their itineraries. A land of untouched nature, the park is filled with mudpools, lakes and wildlife, and offers plentiful opportunities for forest bathing.
Skiing as therapy? You bet. Spending meaningful time swooshing down the slopes can be healing or even transformational. Organic Spa Magazine editor Lisa Loverro explains why, and discovers several places around the world where wellness is an elevated experience.
Of course, you don’t always have to get away from it all to get a taste of wellness. Austin, Denver and Portland, Oregon are among the urban areas in the United States that sport an abundance of wellness experiences.
