WITT Wellness in Travel & Tourism, a global certification body, has announced its expansion across Asia, recognising several hotels in Vietnam, Nepal, and Indonesia with its WITT Certified Seal. This move comes as the Asia-Pacific wellness tourism market is projected to reach approximately $204.2 billion (US$204.2 billion) by 2026, according to the World Travel & Tourism Council.
In Vietnam, Fusion Resort & Villas Da Nang and Alba Wellness Valley by Fusion have become the first properties in the country to achieve WITT Certification. These establishments offer a blend of luxury, spa-inclusive stays, and nature-based wellness experiences. In Indonesia, Bali Niksoma Boutique Beach Resort and GDAS Bali Health & Wellness Resort have also received certification, focusing on holistic healing and Balinese wellness traditions. Meanwhile, in Nepal, Hotel Hokke Lumbini, located in the birthplace of Buddha, has been recognised for its emphasis on mindfulness and cultural connection.
Oxana Spivey, Vice President of Wellness Standards & Education at WITT, highlighted Asia’s growing influence in wellness hospitality, stating, “Wellness is no longer a standalone offering but an integrated element of modern hospitality design and delivery.”
WITT’s certification process evaluates properties based on five wellness pillars: healthy eating, holistic healing, nature, movement, and local impact. The organisation aims to ensure that wellness claims are backed by rigorous standards, with nearly 200 hotels and resorts globally now carrying the WITT Certified Seal
