In a world where life expectancy grows and the young population progressively decreases, long -term tourism is consolidated as one of the main trends in the travel and well -being industry. This form of tourism, focused on integral care, preventive health and conscious rest, is capturing the interest of active adults and middle -aged people who seek to extend their quality of life through transformative experiences.
A global phenomenon: Why is Longevo Tourism boom?
According to UN data, by 2050 it is estimated that 22 % of the world’s population will be over 60 years old, doubling the current figure. At the same time, the birth rate has decreased dramatically in several developed countries, leading to an increasingly aging and reflexive society against self -care and longevity. This context has promoted the rise of long -term tourism, also known as senior welfare tourism or pro longevity tourism.
The trend has roots in countries such as Japan and Nordics, where public health and active aging policies have influenced lifestyles that promote longevity. In Europe, destinations such as Italy, Spain and Switzerland have created specialized routes for this segment, with holistic retreats, integrative medicine centers and experiences centered on healthy aging. Latin America, and in particular Colombia, begins to position itself as an attractive destination for this type of travel, thanks to its natural diversity, quality medical offer and well -being experiences at competitive prices.
«Longevo tourism is not only an answer to a growing need, but also an opportunity to resignify aging. Today, people seek to live more and better, and that implies traveling to destinations where they can take care of their body, their mind and spirit », María Alejandra Castillo, manager of the Punta Diamante Hotel. “In our case, we have seen an increase in guests that not only seek rest, but also health, nutrition, relaxation and conscious movement programs, which has driven us to strengthen our well -being offer with a preventive and personalized approach.”
