Due to increasing work schedules and exhausting jobs, wellness tourism has become an escape route for many tourists. While wellness travel, referring to tourism promoting health and well-being through physical, psychological, or spiritual activities, has come into existence for a while, it’s only recently become massively popular.

The rise of health tourists in recent years has also contributed strongly to revenue for Penang's health tourism sector — positioning Penang as ASEAN's wellness capital.
