Wellness travel is entering a new golden era: Strong growth is predicted in the next three years, according to the Global Wellness Institute. So what does it mean to travel for wellness in 2024?

In this episode, host Rebecca Tobin welcomed senior editors Robert Silk and Christina Jelski and news editor Johanna Jainchill. They delved into wellness-travel trips -- mindful surfing in Costa Rica, exclusive golfing at the new Sensei resort in California and a stay at a traditional wellness-themed resort -- that formed the basis for a Travel Weekly cover story about the myriad experiences that make up today's wellness-travel market.

Among our questions: What is “hard” and “soft” wellness travel? Is wellness travel expensive, or is that just a perception? And for the skeptics out there: What's the value in "wellness," anyway?
