JW Marriott is likely to extend its wellness-led film into spa and stay packages across Indian hotels.
For operators
JW Marriott is building a campaign around Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and wellness, citing a 2025 study in which 90% of affluent Asia-Pacific travellers rate wellness as key to bookings, up from 80%, so hotel and premium-retail operators should check whether their own wellness offer is visible enough to win those bookings.
Watch
Wellness rated key by affluent APAC travellers above the 90% in the 2025 study, in its next edition, would mean wellness is still widening as a booking driver, pushing rivals to match.
