WELLTRAVEL + SPA Program

A Strategic Media alliance of Healing Lifestyles & Spas & The Wellness Agency

Healing Lifestyles & Spas, founded in 2003, is the trusted voice in the wellness industry for the continuously growing group of health-conscious consumers and wellness travelers. Healing Lifestyles & Spas has been consistently ranked in the TOP 5 on ALL social media platforms by Hootsuite for accounts tagged ‘SPA’ (joined by Spa Week, ISPA, and Spafinder).

In September 2016 Healing Lifestyles & Spas forged a strategic alliance with The Wellness Agency, a wellness consulting firm that specializes in design, development and marketing of wellness retreats and transformative travel programs.
Together Healing Lifestyles & Spas and The Wellness Agency create targeted media & branding campaigns that connect upscale, eco-friendly, corporate destinations as well as individually owned properties with a global audience of holistic oriented, health-conscious consumers and soft adventure travelers.
We know how important it is for our destination partners to connect with their ideal guests within a reasonable amount of time and a resourceful budget. That’s why we don’t design media campaigns based on second-guessing, opinion polls & surveys, or outreach that’s too broad to be effective.
Our media campaigns are engaging, meaningful, results oriented. We achieve that by:
  • combining our databases, outreach channels and access to various industry and consumer networks,
  • applying our professional experience of 25+ years in the hospitality and wellness travel marketing industry and
  • building focused campaigns that are based on relevant, empirical travel data for specific demographics and consumer behaviors
