How Wellness is Changing the Way Affluent Travellers Choose Their Next Stay

Affluent travellers now choose stays based on holistic wellness. Learn how a peaceful RedNote strategy, inspired by JW Marriott Phu Quoc, can attract guests looking for more than just a holiday.

The idea of a holiday is changing from ticking off a list of famous sights to finding a place for true relaxation. Modern travellers are now willing to pay more for stays that offer holistic health, from special spa treatments to peaceful environments. This shift means that marketing a hotel is no longer just about showing a room; it is about selling a feeling of well-being.

As highlighted by The Nation Thailand, the Wellness Hub Thailand initiative, launched by Bangkok Dusit Medical Services (BDMS) in partnership with the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), King Power, and Dusit Thani, shows how the country is focusing on high-value visitors. To reach this affluent group, brands must create content that feels calm and inviting. For example, our work with a Phu Quoc resort on RedNote showed that simple, peaceful videos of the property can perform much better than loud commercials. This style of content resonates deeply with Chinese-speaking guests who go digital to find quiet escapes.
