Miami, FL (PRWEB) November 01, 2017 -- The Global Wellness Institute (GWI) today announced its agenda for the Wellness Travel Symposium taking place on November 6 and 7 at the World Travel Market (WTM) in London. The World Travel Market, the leading global event for the travel industry, and the Global Wellness Institute, the leading research resource for the wellness industry, are now in their second year of strategic partnership, whose mission is to bring leading experts to the stage at WTM events to discuss emerging trends in wellness tourism - a $563 billion market that will grow exponentially to $808 billion by 2020.

This year’s two-day symposium features leading travel, hospitality, spa and academic experts sharing insights on important new directions in wellness travel. For instance, Jean-Claude Baumgarten, one of the world's leading tourism experts, who served as president and CEO of the World Travel & Tourism Council for twelve years, will discuss the next chapters in wellness tourism. And Sue Harmsworth, MBE, chairman and founder of ESPA International who is universally recognized as one of the pioneers of the modern spa industry, and responsible for the design, development and management of more than 200 spas in 60 countries, will analyze dramatic changes underway in luxury consumers' desires. The topics are wide ranging: from how the Millennial and Chinese travelers will rewrite the market to case studies illuminating new strategies for promoting wellness tourism that work.

“We’re bringing a line-up of true travel and spa luminaries to the WTM this year to shine a light on the latest research, trends and best practices in the wellness travel space,” said Susie Ellis, GWI chairman and CEO. “The symposium will be squarely focused on the future of wellness tourism, so attendees will have actionable, expert info to help them maximize the opportunities this explosive market offers.”
