Holidays with Ayurveda Treaments “A Big Hit”
It
is estimated that over 5million trips are taken each year for the specific
purpose of tourism for well-being. Furthermore, spa & wellness treatments
also form part of trips taken for other purposes. The reason behind this
growing trend is the general increase in awareness about the need for a
balanced Mind-Body & Soul. The masses have understood that regular and
holistic care of their selves is important to escape the mid / long term impact
of stress. Preventive healthcare through alternative means therefore is growing
in every part of the world. Ayurveda, the over 5000years old traditional system
of holistic-healthcare from India is seemingly one of the most popular and
trusted alternative therapy across the world.
There are specialized
resorts for Ayurveda retreats across the world, which have contributed
significantly in the growth of international Ayurveda tourism. With the change in location
come changes in components, duration and charges for treatments. However, the
crux of Ayurveda remains intact as this stream of alternative medicine is now
formally taught in many universities across the world. Even the assistants are
formally trained in all good and high-quality Ayurveda centres. High on the
list of preferred destinations for Ayurveda treatments of International
tourists are Kerala and New Delhi in India. While Kerala Ayurveda in itself has become
synonymous with Ayurveda in India, the northern state of Delhi and other nearby
destinations like Haridwar and Rishikesh also have some very well-known centers
for Ayurveda treatments. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
the traditional north Indian centers for Ayurveda treatments
For
the typical traveler on a well-being holiday what matters most is the quality
of treatments and of course the staff. Locales play an important role to the
extent that one wants to be away from the noisy and polluted atmosphere. It is
a well known fact that the retreats in Kerala are mostly away from the noisy
cities and many are near the very popular Kerala Backwaters . A wellness oriented traveler generally takes up to a maximum of
2hours of Ayurveda treatments and spends the rest of the day in Yoga and
Meditation, often eating specially recommended food and walking the natural
surrounds or boating in the houseboats.
Similarly,
the traditional north Indian centers for Ayurveda treatments are in the
interiors of green belts in Uttarakhand, Uttaranchal and Himachal Pradesh. Delhi Ayurveda centers are more urban in appearance and cater
to the global traveler who does not have time to really travel 2days back and
forth for a 2Night experience at the Ayurveda centre. Many 4star and 5star
properties in North and South India have understood this latent demand and now
top-notch professionals cater to the needs of discerning guests from all over
the world. Domestic, city travelers too throng these facilities for beauty,
wellness and health treatments. Travelers from US, Latin America & Europe
are the most prolific users of these services in North and South of India. The
best part is the high percentage of repeat visits for this experience, meaning
that the Ayurveda centers do deliver a satisfactory experience. Another factor
growing this business in India is the relatively low prices when compared with
Ayurveda treatment prices in other parts of the world. The Indian treatment can
be 50% or still cheaper than treatments taken at Ayurveda resorts of the same
stature in the western world.
Last
but not the least, many of the travelers do undertake these trips to India
because of the other eclectic experiences and colours of India that can be
experienced in one go while the desired level of well-being is achieved. The
same applies to domestic and international travelers who visit Wellness resorts
the world over. It is holidaying with an eye on the goal of well-being.
