  • In Search of Sleep: Hilton Caters to Rising Number of Sleep Tourists with Debut of Hilton Sleep Retreats
    Kilolani Spa at Grand Wailea, A Waldorf Astoria Resort Sleep expert Dr. Rebecca Robbins to host snooze‑worthy series at Grand Wailea, A Waldorf Astoria Resort’s Kilolani Spa Hilton’s 2024 Trends Report found the No. 1 reason people of all generations want to travel this year is to rest and recharge. In fact, some travelers are even building their entire trip around sleep, which is a trend now known as “sleep tourism.” Sleep tourism first picked up speed in 2023 and has accelerated this year – in its recent report, the Global Wellness Institute cites Wellness Tourism as one of the fastest-growing segments of travel, projected to reach $1.4 Trillion USD by 2027. To address this demand and in celebration of National Sleep Month in March, Hilton has partnered with sleep science expert Dr. Rebecca Robbins to offer expert insight into ways Hilton can lead the industry in providing the best night’s rest possible across the portfolio. This includes new programming like the launch of Sleep Retreats at Grand Wailea, A Waldorf Astoria Resort, with the potential to expand to additional markets in the coming months. Dr. Robbins, an assistant professor in medicine and associate scientist at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, is also an acclaimed author and sleep expert featured in national print and television. She deeply understands the importance of sleep and which behavioral changes can help travelers get the most Zzzs when staying in unfamiliar environments. Together with Hilton, she will help guests put these insights into practice during a series of one-of-a-kind retreats, with the first launching in Maui at Grand Wailea, A Waldorf Astoria Resort’s Kilolani Spa, an all-new open-air luxury spa adorned by the natural beauty of Hawaii. “Understanding the vital role sleep plays in our lives goes much deeper than just knowing we need it. It's about nurturing and prioritizing it, especially in our fast-moving world where being constantly on the go is the norm," said Dr. Robbins. “Collaborating with Hilton to bridge the gap between sleep science and its practical, everyday application excites me and our retreats serve as a wonderful demonstration of how this knowledge can be brought to life – whether traveling or at home.” Designed to educate and empower guests while leveraging the unique wellness amenities offered at Hilton, the Sleep Retreats provide an all-encompassing journey into the science and practice of achieving restful, restorative sleep. Participants will have the opportunity to engage in a series of Dr. Robbins-led activities, discussions, strategies and meditations focused on enhancing sleep quality. Kilolani Spa at Grand Wailea, A Waldorf Astoria Resort - Portal Beyond spa services developed to mitigate jet lag, optimize circadian rhythms and release sleep-enhancing hormones, the programs include lectures that illuminate the science of restfulness, covering topics such as the foundations of sleep mechanics and sleep disorders. The retreats also feature healthy, sleep-promoting meals and opportunities for guests to design a personalized sleep schedule, ensuring each guest leaves with the knowledge and practices needed to improve their daily routine. “Hilton seeks to provide more than just a place to stay. We aim to be a catalyst for wellness, starting with a great night’s sleep. Recognizing that more than half of all travelers surveyed in our recent Trends Report emphasized the need for rest when they travel, our commitment has never been more important,” said Amanda Al-Masri, global vice president, wellness, Hilton. “From the moment a guest steps into our hotels, every touchpoint is an opportunity to contribute to the quality of their overall wellness, and these curated Sleep Retreats represent a fusion of comfort, science and innovation crafted to improve the sleep experience.” Hilton’s commitment to enhancing the guest sleep experience is exemplified by specialized offerings across its brands and properties. Travelers have shown a deep appreciation for the basics, and while all Hilton brands offer unique and exclusive bedding, Canopy by Hilton offers a gel memory foam mattress and Serta Cool Balance® technology, with the brand’s signature canopy frame, and Motto by Hilton has equipped its rooms with top-notch mattresses, sound-absorbing surroundings and smart technology available through the Hilton Honors app. Wellness offerings also extend directly into the room across many Hilton properties, such as Tempo by Hilton’s rooms designed with “power down” features for an optimal sleep environment. Additionally, dedicated wellness rooms are available at Signia by Hilton Atlanta Georgia World Congress Center, which are equipped with tools to help guests get their R&R. More information on Hilton’s new Sleep Retreats will be made available on the Grand Wailea, A Waldorf Astoria Resort’s website in the coming weeks.

  • GWI Spotlights Thailand’s Unique Wellness Assets on New “Geography of Wellness” Platform
    The nonprofit Global Wellness Institute (GWI), the leading research and educational resource for the $4.4 trillion global wellness industry, has announced Thailand as the third country to be spotlighted on its new “Geography of Wellness” microsite. Singapore and Brazil were the first two countries added to the newly launched resource that went live in May. This deep dive into Thailand’s wellness economy data is thanks to BDMS Wellness Clinic, the flagship wellness center from Thailand’s largest private healthcare network, Bangkok Dusit Medical Services (BDMS). BDMS Wellness Clinic operates on the simple philosophy that prevention is better than cure and uses advanced science and technology to help physicians predict future health issues and prevent disease, while also enhancing mental and physical performance. “GWI’s ”Geography of Wellness” is a platform that was created to give countries a deeper understanding of where they are positioned within the $4.4 trillion wellness economy,” said Susie Ellis, GWI chair and CEO. “This gives entrepreneurs, businesses, academics and government agencies a clear-eyed look at where short- and long-term opportunities may lie. Our thanks go out to country partners, like BDMS Wellness Clinic, for recognizing the value of these insights.” According to GWI data, Thailand’s wellness economy grew an impressive 29% between 2017 to 2019. This growth understandably stagnated and retracted under the pandemic’s strict travel restrictions because a large portion of Thailand’s wellness economy had come from Wellness Tourism and Spas, two sectors that were hit hard. For context, GWI researchers say the overall global wellness economy grew from $4.3 trillion in 2017 to $4.9 trillion in 2019, or by 6.6%, significantly higher than global economic growth (4%); but, in 2020, the wellness economy fell by 11% to $4.4 trillion and was harder hit than global GDP, which fell by 2.8%. GWI’s macro wellness economy market data, along with a deep dive into the Asia-Pacific region and Thailand specifically, can be found in the newly released report, “The Global Wellness Economy: Thailand,” which is available for free download thanks to BDMS’ partnership. “Of the 11 sectors GWI measures, one of the biggest gainers through the pandemic was the ‘Public Health, Prevention & Personalized Medicine’ sector, which grew 6.5% from 2019 to 2020,” said Dr. Tanupol Virunhagarun, Chief Executive Officer of BDMS Wellness Clinic. “BDMS is honored to have played a significant role in that growth.” “We see our partnership with GWI as a tangible way to give back to the local wellness community by fostering deeper knowledge about Thailand’s unique wellness assets and helping to create a roadmap to grow our country’s slice of the growing wellness economy,” continued Dr. Virunhagarun. Today, Thailand’s overall position in the Asia-Pacific wellness economy is currently #9, while its global ranking is #24. GWI researchers latest report, “The Global Wellness Economy: Looking Beyond Covid[1],” forecasts that the wellness economy is on track to expand to $7 trillion by 2025. Thailand’s 2020 global ranking in the 11 wellness sectors (among the 218 countries where GWI collects data) illustrates a huge opportunity for growth, especially with tourism and travel rebounding. Wellness in Thailand Thailand is known not only as a top travel destination with its tropical islands, cuisine, cultural richness and bustling markets, but it also is well-regarded for its world-class holistic wellness and health retreats. With well-established tourism, medical and wellness sectors, Thailand caters to both tourists and locals alike who are looking for the best in health and wellness. The popularity of the country’s traditional therapies and herbal remedies has made “Thai massage” a treatment coveted the world over. Thailand has also emerged as a leader in medical wellness and is very well regarded for its comprehensive preventive checkups and wellness retreats, making it an ideal destination for anyone seeking world-class health and wellness services at cost-effective prices.

  • GWS Announces the “Future of Functional Medicine Symposium” in Bangkok, May 20
    The Global Wellness Summit (GWS), the foremost gathering of international leaders in the multitrillion-dollar global wellness economy, today announced that the “Future of Functional Medicine Symposium” will take place in Bangkok, Thailand on Friday, May 20th. The event, a partnership between GWS and Miskawaan Health Group (MHG), a global leader in functional medicine, will bring together top medical experts and scientists from around the world to explore the new directions and future opportunities in the fast-rising field of functional medicine. It will be a packed day of keynotes and panels, with 25-plus doctors, researchers and wellness experts presenting on what’s ahead for functional medicine–with topics ranging from new integrative approaches in cancer care to how functional approaches are rethinking fertility and preventative cardiology to the relationship between gut health, the immune system and long Covid and how hormones impact longevity. High-ranking Thai government officials, including Anutin Charnvirakul, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Public Health, will also discuss how Thailand is well-placed to become a world leader in functional medicine. The symposium is a hybrid event and will be held in-person at the Anantara Siam Hotel in Bangkok from 8:30 AM to 5 PM on May 20. Bringing New Clarity to Functional Medicine: Functional medicine is often mistakenly equated with “alternative medicine,” but it’s a distinct integrative medicine approach. According to the Institute for Functional Medicine, it is a systems biology-based approach where doctors focus on identifying and addressing the root cause of disease, in contrast to traditional medicine, which is structured to manage symptoms. The functional medicine model is highly individualized: Doctors spend time identifying a patient’s genetic, biochemical, environmental and lifestyle factors–and use evolving research and diagnostics in nutritional science, genomics, and epigenetics–to prevent and treat conditions. This historic symposium will create new clarity around, and awareness about, this unique, whole-body approach to healthcare and wellbeing in the medical and wellness communities. “The Global Wellness Summit is excited to partner with Miskawaan Group on this sector-specific symposium. Functional medicine is such an important and timely topic, as a prevention-focused, medicine-meets-wellness philosophy that could impact so many lives and tackle rising healthcare costs,” said Susie Ellis, chair and CEO of the Global Wellness Summit and the Global Wellness Institute, the leading research organization for the $4.4 trillion wellness industry. “We will bring the trademarks of the Summit to this event: a stellar speaker lineup to spark a high-level, global conversation; evidence-based content; a C-suite invitee list; lots of networking opportunities; and media in attendance.” Anyone with an interest in integrative medicine, medical-wellness, anti-aging, “healthspan,” cancer prevention and treatment, biohacking, long Covid, and medical cannabis, will find the agenda innovative and eye-opening. “We’re thrilled to partner with the Global Wellness Summit, which has been bringing together the brightest, future-focused minds in health and wellness for 15 years,” said David Boehm, co-founder and CEO of MHG. “This is an important event for Thailand, and we believe that the country, with its centuries-old traditions of Thai Traditional Medicine, the regular application of over 2,000 effective Thai herbal remedies, and the support of the Thai Government and the Thai FDA, is ideally placed to become the center of functional medical excellence in Asia, and, indeed, the world.” In-person registration is limited, and those attending will have the opportunity to interact with speakers and attend a networking lunch and evening cocktail reception. Virtual attendees can interact with speakers during dedicated Q&A sessions. Register here. The symposium is a not-for-profit event: any excess revenue will be donated to Childline Thailand Foundation.
