| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In contrast to the definition of wellness tourism, which has been mainly defined by researchers in the tourism field and tourism-related organizations, and which has focused on explaining the purpose and actions of wellness tourism, this study interprets wellness tourism as a fusion of the wellness and tourism industries (Arakawa, 2023), which is a synergistic effect of combining two large and growing industries. This study established a new definition of after-corona wellness tourism, which is not a name for a certain type of tourism, but a generic term for wellness (various actions for a brighter life) offered as a menu or program through travel and stay, leading to wellbeing (a better state).

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
ウェルネス産業の視点からのウェルネスツーリズムに関する明確な定義がこれまで存在していなかった。欧米中心からアジアの時代における新しい視点から、コロナを経た世界、社会、価値観の一大転換期として、新しい時代のウェルネスツーリズムを日本から発信していくことは大きな意義があると考えられた。
