The report is designed to assist investors, developers, operators and other industry stakeholders in evaluating the tangible impacts of wellbeing and wellness on real estate performance. 

Wellbeing and wellness offerings may boost the bottom-line results of leisure destinations, spa hotels and wellness resorts, but hospitality investors and developers often face challenges in assessing the tangible value of these activities and their impact on the performance of the property.
