Healing is a modern trend in the tourism industry, combining travel and recovery. Maya Zvyagintseva, Head of Wellness Department of Green Flow hotel chain, told Izvestia on December 25.

According to her, the program of this type of recreation often includes meditation, sound therapy and work with breathing, which helps to reduce stress. In addition, hiling involves contact with nature, as well as moderate physical activity - tourists can do yoga and Pilates.

"Healing is gaining popularity among modern city dwellers who are tired of the pace of life and chronic stress. According to Green Flow's internal statistics, it primarily attracts entrepreneurs and professionals who are looking for deep relaxation without wasting time on 'doing nothing'," the expert explained, adding that the destination is also popular among women from 30 to 50 years old, couples and groups of friends.
