Global demand for professional services increases in the area of health & wellbeing tourism
Rising Demand in Health & Wellbeing Tourism
Tourists enjoy the health benefits of Forest Therapy
The FTTG training is directed towards clients in the hospitality and health & wellbeing sector in the Global South.
The FTTG training is also suited for individuals who wish to learn new skills, gain competencies and qualifications to meet the rising demand for upmarket health & wellbeing services.
The FTTG training is particularly recommended for people operating and working in the tourism sector in the Global South across Asia-Pacific, Middle East/Africa as well as Central/South America. Countries in the Global South offer the finest of tropical and sub-tropical forests and nature, perfectly suited for the upmarket and eco-friendly health & wellbeing tourism.
Thus, INFTA’s international experts have developed a new training module which caters for the rising demand of Forest Therapy, Shinrin-yoku and “forest bathing” in health & wellbeing tourism. You can now become qualified and certified by INFTA as Forest Therapy Tourist Guide (FTTG).
