Healing Luminary workshop to support the healing travel businesses

Healing Hotels of the World (HHOW) is to offer an online workshop intended to support the travel industry as it recovers from the Covid-19 pandemic.

Aimed at travel agents, the Healing Luminary programme intends to share the brand’s expertise in healing hospitality and enable agents to support purposeful travel choices as well as foster more meaningful client engagement.

Taking place on September 8 the one-hour Zoom session will offer insight into how guests’ travel needs have evolved in the context of the pandemic, as well as how the demand for travel has shifted.

Participants will also learn about healing travel journeys and the brand’s Healing Certification, which recognises its member hotels’ commitment to safety and healing travel.

The session will conclude with a  live meditation session designed to foster connection.

“The pandemic has shaken the travel industry to the core. We want to offer our valued partners new perspectives in the travel market, and to empower them with healing hospitality expertise,” said Anne Biging, CEO and co-founder of HHOW.

“The programme will introduce them to healing journeys and experiences, and provide them with high-value knowledge about healing travel that will help them serve their clientele on a deeper level.”

Dr Elisabeth Ixmeier, CCO and co-founder of HHOW, said: “Coming out of a challenging time, we feel the need to reconnect with joy and a sense of appreciation for life.”

“Many people want to use this time to restore their balance, strengthen their health and find deeper meaning in life.”

“With our new Healing Luminary programme, travel agents are invited to explore customer needs in more depth, and to be a resource to the increasing number of people who seek healing through travel,” she added.
