The country, despite its relatively small footprint (275 square miles with close to six million people), has an innovative and strong wellness economy, ranking #42 globally and #14 in Asia-Pacific.

STB is committed to establishing Singapore as a sustainable urban wellness destination and is the lead agency for tourism in the country. The agency has been successful in differentiating Singapore from other Asia-Pacific destinations by focusing on its unique wellness attributes, including urban wellness. Since 2022, Singapore has hosted the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellnessfest.sg\/\"><strong>Wellness Festival Singapore (WFS)<\/strong><\/a><u>,<\/u> a key nationwide effort to promote holistic wellbeing for locals and visitors. Beyond that, the festival serves as a unique launchpad for the industry to test innovative concepts such as fitness and wellness classes at key attractions like Changi Jewel\u2019s HSBC Rain Vortex, the world\u2019s tallest indoor waterfall, and the Singapore Zoo.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Singapore Tourism Board\u2019s unique efforts to establish the city as a premier urban wellness destination in Asia should be commended, and according to our new research, Singapore\u2019s wellness tourism market grew an impressive 66% from 2021 to 2022,\u201d said Susie Ellis, GWI\u2019s chair &amp; CEO. \u201cSTB\u2019s continued commitment to making GWI\u2019s data available to all will help the world understand the opportunities across the country\u2019s wellness markets and help the wellness tourism space grow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are delighted to continue our partnership with the Global Wellness Institute, which reinforces our commitment to grow Singapore\u2019s appeal in the wellness tourism space,\u201d \u00a0said Ms. Ong Ling Lee, executive director of Sports &amp; Wellness at the Singapore Tourism Board. \u201cGWI\u2019s expertise and insights will augment Singapore\u2019s position as a leading urban wellness haven that prioritizes holistic wellbeing and offers accessible and innovative experiences for both locals and visitors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Singapore is renowned as a \u201cCity in Nature\u201d and an urban biophilic wellness destination that embodies holistic wellness. In the heart of its bustling cityscape lies Gardens by the Bay, a verdant oasis showcasing Singapore&#8217;s rich flora and fauna, seamlessly connected to 300 km of park connector trails and greenways to other urban attractions. Residents and visitors are encouraged to walk, run, bike or skate, integrating physical activity with exploration and transportation.<\/p>\n<p>Besides building healthy living into its residents\u2019 everyday environments, Singapore also empowers its population to lead a more active lifestyle and influences them to make healthier food choices when they dine and pick up their groceries.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, Singapore was recently named the sixth Blue Zone worldwide (places where people live the longest) by Dan Buettner, Blue Zones founder, National Geographic Fellow and <em>New York Times<\/em> bestselling author. The country is the first \u201cBlue Zone 2.0\u201d because, rather than traditional ways of life solely driving population longevity, Singapore has \u201cengineered\u201d improved health and healthspan by a host of creative government policies, and it has boosted average life expectancy to 83 years from 72 years in 1980.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>New Singapore Wellness Economy Data<br \/>\n<\/u><\/strong>Below are snapshots, in order of market size, of all the sectors that make up Singapore\u2019s wellness economy.
