In our everyday life, we accomplish many things and achieve a fortune but we sacrifice our wellness for it. Before the time of Industrial revolution and IT revolution, people lived a healthier and more peaceful life. And Wellness Tourism is one of the ways to experience that ‘quality of life’ once again.
