WELLNESS ECONOMY BY SECTOR IN THE U.S.<\/h3>\n
\n

The wellness economy, as defined by GWI, is broad and diverse. Its eleven sectors encompass many different types of consumer activities and expenditures, including products, services, travel, and technology. Every country\u2019s wellness economy is unique. Its composition can vary widely from country to country, based on its development history, culture, socioeconomic conditions, and government policy. Below we present the U.S.’s top-line wellness economy data and how it ranks globally. More details are available in the downloadable country report.<\/p>\n

KEY WELLNESS EXPERIENCES IN THE U.S.<\/h3>\n
\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you like nature and outdoor recreation, U.S. parks and forests offer millions of acres of grounds for hiking, climbing, camping, and water sports. Majestic landscapes \u2013 from the deserts and canyons of Arizona, to the snowy mountains of Colorado, to the coastal beaches and the five Great Lakes \u2013 provide a respite from busy everyday life and opportunities for sports and recreation. If you are interested in an urban getaway with a wellness touch, there are abundant city hotels that prioritize wellness. Not only are they equipped with gyms and spas, but many also place a high priority on sleep, healthy and nutritious food, mental wellness, and social connections. U.S. cities offer diverse immersive experiences through music (e.g., festivals in Austin, Chicago, Nashville, and more), food (e.g., regional\/ethnic cuisines, health food landscape that spans organic, plant-based, farm-to-table, raw foods, etc.), and the arts. Many cities have created art installations, public recreational spaces, and urban trails and greenways (e.g., the Highline in New York) that enable walking, running, and cycling in proximity to nature.<\/p>\n

For those seeking wellness treatments and therapies, the United States is home to more than 30,000 spas (day spas, medical spas, destination spas, hotel\/resort spas) and nearly 400 thermal\/mineral springs where you can experience communal bathing and the healing powers of water. The United States is also a hub for longevity science and innovation, with new protocols and diagnostics available that help to detect, treat, and manage emerging disease, and maximize your healthspan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
