Wellness-focused travelers embrace a number of interests-including eating well, personal enrichment and eco-consciousness. Many are interested in mind, body and spiritual experiences that connect them to the land, culture, and people of a destination.
"Visitors seem to crave a renewed spirit," observes Kegn Moorcroft, Director of Communications for the Sedona Chamber of Commerce and Tourism Bureau. Adding, "Sedona is a place where visitors can rejuvenate both body and mind. Why not heal or relax surrounded by dreamy views and clean mountain air? Sedona is recognized as a worldwide destination for personal enrichment, offering simple yet majestic ways to get grounded and transformed."
Moorcroft further explains, "Wellness has been a brand pillar for three years now! Our other pillars are outdoor adventure and arts and culture (which go hand-in-hand) with wellness. In response to the growing interest in wellness tourism and its different facets, the Sedona Chamber has created three new campaigns, Let Your Spirit Soar ( a year-round campaign centered on spiritual pursuits, Sedona Youtopia Itineraries (a campaign launched last winter focusing on 3-day mind, body, and spirit multi-experiential visits) and Summer in Sedona, the latest, new seasonal promotion)
