Spain ranks #5 worldwide in Wellness Tourism, being the second country in Europe, only after Germany (2018)
The wellness visitor (not to be confused with bleisure) is considered one of the most complete travellers, since they are not only interested in wellness or health tourism, but also look to complete the experience with culture and gastronomy, besides looking for unique and personalised experiences. A recent survey revealed the wellness visitor can spend up to 1,200 € per day, on average.
According to the forecast, over 140,000 wellness visitors will travel to Spain in 2019 for any kind of wellness or health treatment. Family planning and IVF, as well as dental procedures, are some of the main reasons for their visit. In Europe, over 40% of the people that underwent an IVF treatment, chose Spain to do it, mainly coming from Germany, France, Italy and the UK.
