Global Wellness Institute (GWI) Adds Indonesia to its \u201cGeography of Wellness\u201d Platform <\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Republic of Indonesia\u2019s Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy has partnered with GWI to spotlight the region\u2019s unique wellness assets and wellness economy opportunities <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Miami, FL \u2013 February 15, 2023 <\/strong>\u2013 The nonprofit Global Wellness Institute<\/a> (GWI), the leading research and educational resource for the global wellness industry, today announced that Indonesia, a republic spanning 17,000 islands and the largest economy in Southeast Asia, as the latest country to be highlighted on the organization\u2019s Geography of Wellness<\/a> microsite.<\/p>\n

The Geography of Wellness platform, which launched last year, gives key stakeholders in the 218 countries featured in GWI\u2019s \u201cThe Global Wellness Economy: Country Rankings\u201d a deeper dive into their country\u2019s position in the various sectors and subsectors of the $4.4 trillion global wellness economy.<\/p>\n

\u201cCountries that commit to creating their own Geography of Wellness microsite clearly understand the value wellness offerings have in their overall economy,\u201d said Susie Ellis, GWI chair and CEO. \u201cBy partnering with GWI on this initiative, the Republic of Indonesia\u2019s Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy has supported GWI in taking a deeper look into Indonesia\u2019s position in the ever-expanding wellness economy and highlighting its unique strengths.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to GWI data, Indonesia\u2019s wellness economy grew from $35 billion in 2017 to $36.4 billion in 2020, ranking the country #19 out of the 218 measured worldwide and #7 (out of 46) in the Asia-Pacific region.<\/p>\n

The research reveals that the highest spike in their wellness economy occurred in 2019 (pre-pandemic) when it was valued at $40.6 billion. The hardest hit categories during the COVID pandemic were wellness tourism ($1.7 billion in 2020, down 65% from a high of $5 billion in 2019), spas ($1 billion in 2020, down 43% from a high of $1.76 billion in 2020) and thermal\/mineral Springs ($17 million, down 43.5% from a high of $30 million in 2020). Now that these sectors are reopened, Indonesia\u2019s wellness economy is back to a strong position for continued growth. In fact, the allure of the region is reflected in its growing wellness real estate market, which increased 18% from 2019 to 2020 (from $957 million to over $1.1 billion).<\/p>\n

GWI\u2019s global wellness economy data, along with a deep dive into Indonesia, can be found in the newly released report, \u201cThe Global Wellness Economy: Indonesia,\u201d available for free download.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Key Wellness Experiences in Indonesia
\n<\/strong>When you imagine wellness travel in Indonesia, picture transformative journeys based in local wisdom and centuries-old traditions, beachfront yoga studios, five-star luxury resorts, pristine hot springs, ethno-wellness spas (Javanese spa, Balinese spa, etc.), delicious healthy cuisines, and traditional therapies based on endemic herbs and spices. Indonesia also offers a plethora of nature-based wellness, with pristine national parks for forest healing activities such as meditation, tree-hugging, slow-pace walking, and beautiful settings for eco-trekking, diving and cycling.<\/p>\n

Wellness in Indonesia
\n<\/strong>Indonesia is a popular destination known for its rich cultural history and authentic wellness treatments and programs. The country\u2019s diverse regions offer healing experiences for the mind, body and soul, from traditional aromatherapy and treatments with essential oils in Solo, to immersive wellness journeys in villages like Wanurejo and Candirejo in Yogyakarta, to eco-friendly spa and wellness retreats in Bali.<\/p>\n

Indonesia\u2019s wellness practices have existed for more than 2,000 years, incorporating Indonesian heritage with wellness traditions from Indian, Arab and Chinese origins. The Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy has a mission to make Indonesia a global wellness tourism destination and for the country\u2019s wellness products, including its traditional jamu herbal drinks and tonics, to be considered among the best in the world.<\/p>\n

[NOTE: GWI is currently working with numerous country partners to highlight their unique wellness assets and will continue to announce new country reports as they are added to the platform.]<\/em><\/p>\n
