Expert Travelers Share Knowledge


So, you’re planning a trip and looking for information about where to go and what to do once you get there. Whether you’re looking at a travel magazine, a travel guide or an online travel site, you’re gleaning knowledge from some of the most knowledgeable of all travelers – travel writers.

Now, imagine a travel company comprised of professional travel writers who design wellness vacations. You just know whatever they offer is going to be a good thing!

That’s the concept behind Boca Raton-based Well Traveled Tours (www.welltraveledtours.com). The direct-to-consumer tour company is designed to fulfill the growing baby boomer demand for wellness lifestyle vacations. Each vacation offered contains three key elements: fitness and healthy lifestyle, spa and relaxation, and world discovery/self-discovery. Examples of tour activities include yoga or cooking, massages or meditation, a range of coaching seminars or classes on local culture. Accommodations are 4-star luxury resorts well-known for their spas and comprehensive gym facilities. In short, these are the very best places and products that the travel writers have experienced. Now the writers want to share their experience directly with consumers.

Wellness vacations are a hot new category, especially for aging baby boomers and mature travelers. They’re a great way to travel while exploring different ways to feel good and improve physical and mental health. Hey, who doesn’t refuse to accept the inevitable aging process? We all want to live as well and as long as possible. So why not extend your healthy lifestyle into your vacation choices?

Some samples of Well Traveled Tour packages include: 7 days in Hawaii including native spa treatments, and a cleansing and healing ritual at one of the islands’ sacred sites. Other option is a two-week tour of Thailand that includes an ancient Thai massage and a visit to Baan Dvara Prateep Wellness House to practice meditation and deep-breathing techniques.
