A US$303 billion Wellness market

From the press release:

“Japan, the world’s 3rd largest wellness economy ($303 billion), has been added to the growing number of countries featured on the Global Wellness Institute’s “Geography of Wellness” site, providing the first-ever data on all of its wellness markets and an overview of its powerful wellness assets.

Japan, a country of mountains, forests, and natural hot springs, really defines wellness with its culture of healthy, unmodified food; its customs of Onsen bathing and forest bathing; its unique J-Beauty traditions; and its practices derived from Zen Buddhism, like martial arts, monastery stays, and meditative tea ceremonies.

The research was sponsored by Country Partners Conceptasia, a Tokyo-based company serving the spa, wellness and beauty industry, along with Fukui Wellness Collaboration, an organization focused on developing wellness tourism offerings in the Fukui Prefecture region.”
