Yoga Tourism as a Quest for Mental and Physical Wellbeing: A Case of Rishikesh, India
Abstract
Yoga tourism has become an important part of the 'travel to feel well' trend. Yoga tourism can also be seen as a subset of wellness tourism. Yoga means the amalgamation of body, mind, and spirit. Yoga is widely believed as a source to diminish stress, improve breathing, strength, and improvement in flexibility. The data has been collected through primary and secondary sources (journals, articles, and newspapers). The current study is focusing on the linkages between wellness, spirituality, and yoga tourism through an examination of the motivations of tourists visiting Rishikesh, India. Present research is exploratory in nature conducted in 2019 in Rishikesh, India. The current study tried to explore this under-researched segment by interviewing and surveying yoga travellers visiting Rishikesh, India. Current research emphasized the effect of yoga tourism on the physical and mental healing of tourists at Himalayan destinations as well as the motivational characteristics of yoga tourists.
