Sava\u015fan also stated that in many studies, both travel and health trends will gain even more importance in the coming years.<br \/>\nSava\u015fan said that according to the \u201cWorld Travel Trends 2016\u201d report, despite the terrorist incidents, refugee crisis and economic troubles affecting the world, there has been an increase in the tendency to travel around the world, adding that the number of international trips made in the world is 1.024 billion and the number of international tourists is 1.2 billion.<br \/>\n<strong>\u201cNew generation travelers do not want to be passive tourists\u201d<\/strong><br \/>\nSava\u015fan said that according to the projections of the United Nations World Tourism Organization, the tourism sector is expected to continue to grow and reach a volume of 2 trillion dollars by 2020, emphasizing that the new generation of travel lovers want to be passive tourists who only take photos and look around.<br \/>\nStating that there are changes in trends in tourism just like everything else, Sava\u015fan said that many studies have shown that the new profile is \u2018after meeting and talking to different people, discovering new cultures, learning while traveling around the world, in short, becoming a \u201dtraveler'\".<br \/>\nPointing out that lying by the pool all day long and doing laps in front of the bar are out of fashion, Sava\u015fan pointed out that what is in vogue in today's touristic travels is the health of body, soul and mind.<br \/>\n<strong>\u201cTravel is essential for health protection\u201d<\/strong><br \/>\nSava\u015fan stated that people today do not see travel as a luxury, on the contrary, they see it as necessary to protect their health and pointed out that in our age when time is very precious, people use their travel periods to quit smoking, get in shape and find healing with methods that heal the soul and body such as detox (especially technology detox), yoga-meditation.<br \/>\nStating that the world we live in is gradually disappearing, Sava\u015fan said that everyone is now aware of the need to take care of everything from production to vacation, and that this has aroused great interest in everything that is slow and ecological in the world, including travel. Sava\u015fan also pointed out that \u2018slow travel\u2019, \u2018slow city\u2019, \u2018slow food\u2019 and \u2018eco travel\u2019 enthusiasts are growing like an avalanche.<br \/>\n<strong>\u201cBleisure, Health &amp; Wellness and Soft Adventure are trending\u201d <\/strong><br \/>\nPointing out that the development of alternative and sustainable tourism types in Northern Cyprus is essential for increasing the added value of the country, Sava\u015fan said that the Health &amp; Wellness, Bleisure and Soft Adventure segments, which are growing and trending in the travel sector day by day, offer great opportunities for our country.<br \/>\nExplaining that this new category, which combines business and leisure travel and is called Bleisure, has entered the agenda of the world travel industry, Sava\u015fan pointed out that the industry's habit of keeping \u2018business and leisure\u2019 separate from each other has come to an end. Sava\u015fan said that while there are still those who adhere to strict business travel schedules, more and more people are starting to combine business travel with leisure, adding that \u201ctravelers who are tired of meetings and panels want to make their travels fun with excursions, good food and activities involving local culture. This is a shift that is very much in line with the trend of travelers seeking new and personal experiences.\u201d.<br \/>\n<strong>\u201cBaby boomers demand \u2018soft adventure\u2019\u201d <\/strong><br \/>\nExplaining that as the share of the generation born after the Second World War, called baby boomers, in the travel sector has expanded, the sense of adventure of these travelers has also become widespread, Sava\u015fan said, \u201cBaby boomers, who are of great importance in the world travel sector, have created a category called \u2018soft adventure\u2019 even though they do not want to jump out of airplanes or climb mountains.\u201d Sava\u015fan said that soft adventure can be defined as a category that \u2018takes people out of the house but does not include activities with high adrenaline doses such as rafting or skydiving\u2019 and that many activities such as fishing, hiking, cycling, horse riding, safari, city tours are carried out in this category.<br \/>\nSava\u015fan said that although not a new category in terms of the sector, health &amp; wellness tourism has been booming recently, and that this type of tourism has reached a volume of billions of dollars and continues to grow. Sava\u015fan pointed out that in order to achieve success in this type of tourism, it is necessary to understand what health and wellness tourism really means and explained that health and wellness travelers are travelers who want to renew themselves or who aim to turn their travels, which would normally be a leisure \/ business holiday, into an opportunity to find alternative health services. Stating that the structure of Northern Cyprus is suitable for development in this field, Sava\u015fan emphasized that a share of this market can be easily obtained by diversifying the services in hotels.<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/www.kibrisgazetesi.com\/saglik\/hem-seyahat-hem-de-saglik-turizmi-daha-da-onem-kazanacak\/12584<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ahmet Sava\u015fan, President of the Cyprus Health Tourism Council, emphasized that today's people are trying to regain their health, which they have lost in their busy work and city life, in back-to-nature and back-to-yourself camps that include beauty, care cures, massage, aromatherapy, fitness, yoga and pilates.
