What Is a Health Tour?
A health tour is a curated travel experience focused on physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. It may include:
- Medical or wellness checkups
- Holistic therapies (like massage, herbal medicine, or yoga)
- Nature-based healing (forest walks, hot springs, meditation)
- Cultural health wisdom (learning from traditional healers or elders)
