Japan, South Korea, and India Collaborate on International Wellness Tourism Initiatives
Published
On October 20, 2026, an international summit on "wellness tourism," which combines health and tourism, was held in Sancheong-gun, South Korea. Fujitoshi Kinoshita, Chairman of the Japanese Society of Health Tourism, was invited to the conference to deliver a lecture.
At this summit, four organizations from Japan, South Korea, and India signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to cooperate with one another. Wellness tourism is a new form of tourism that promotes physical and mental well-being through travel. Each country aims to leverage its regional resources to further develop the tourism industry.
In recent years, interest in health has been growing worldwide, and an increasing number of tourists are looking to relax and enjoy healthy meals at their travel destinations. Through this partnership, the three countries plan to share knowledge and experience to advance plans for providing higher-quality tourism services.
This international cooperation also represents an opportunity for Japan to expand the appeal of its tourism. Many stakeholders are now watching closely to see how these countries will collaborate to move forward with concrete projects.
