Fun & healthy wellness game ideas for older adults and seniors.

Healthy wellness games (online or in person) are important ways to keep older generations healthy and engaged as they age.

Although adults are living longer, the vast majority live with at least one chronic condition or disabilit y. That is why as caregivers, friends, neighbors, and family members, we must take action to better serve older adults, making all aspects of their health a top priority.

To help you come up with some game ideas to promote health and wellness sessions, we've created a list of options that are simple to set up. Choose the perfect activity for your next event — let's get started!

What Are Wellness Games?

Wellness games are, as they sound — games that promote optimal health through a variety of engaging activities.

These games can cover a wide range of health-related topics and facets, offering an entertaining and relaxing way for people to spend leisurely time working on their health. To better support their psychological and physical health, as well as their social life and spiritual needs, small everyday steps can make all the difference. That is why healthy wellness activities are so great!

These are wellness activities for older adults that also help promote a healthier lifestyle by allowing older adults to exercise, remain mentally active, learn, and strengthen their relationships — not only with others but also with themselves.

They include:

‍ Physical wellness games ‍

These physically work the body. For seniors, these games and exercise routines may focus on improving mobility, reducing joint pain, and promoting better health overall.  ‍

Mental wellness games ‍

Mental games and brain games are those that promote positive mental health, such as those that focus on stress management, mental stimulation, or mood. ‍

Social wellness games ‍

Social interaction is so important for anyone, but especially seniors. These games promote a sense of connection, reducing feelings of isolation. ‍

Intellectual wellness games

‍ Whether it be word puzzles, trivia games, or bingo, it's important to keep the brain active with fun games. ‍

Spiritual wellness games

‍ "Spirituality" means different things to different people. However, regardless of one's beliefs, these games focus primarily on the human spirit or soul, as well as religious practices.

Game technology , including digital games, is becoming a key area of interest when it comes to creating unique, innovative, and easy wellness games to play. 

Healthy Wellness Game Ideas for Seniors

Whether you're interested in physical or social activities, the options are nearly endless.

Virtual bingo is a great game to start with. It promotes several areas of wellness, including mental, social, and intellectual health. Since it can be played with a small or large group, it's the perfect game for older adults who live in care homes to join as a group, or for individuals using their own devices.

Technology is also allowing games like Bingo to be digitized and enjoyed on a larger scale through interactive virtual events. Virtual Trivia is another option, which helps older adults work their brain muscles while staying social. 

Games come in all forms, including physical activity. When participating in light aerobics, yoga , strength training,   tai chi, and other physical activities, everyone wins! Again, these wellness activities for older adults promote positive health across the board, encouraging greater mental, physical, and social health. 

Writing & journalling is another activity that can be highly beneficial for those seeking mental or spiritual stimulation.

If you're looking for other easy wellness games to play, some great wellness day ideas include:

• Puzzles! Simple but straightforward, puzzles are a great way to build camaraderie, offer healthy competition, and force your brain to work. 
• Multi-player online games, like bingo and trivia 
• Name-That-Tune and other fun musical activities  
• Dancing games that work memory and movement 
• Social wellness games 
• Guided hands-on activities, such as flower arranging, painting, or scrapbooking
• Charades, and other creative activities you can do while social distancing 
• Chair Exercise Routine like the ones we have every Thursday that include exercise, meditation, dancing, and more

The Benefits of Wellness Games for Seniors

Games are fun, there's no doubt about that, but the benefits of wellness games go beyond that. Wellness games make up for a great time and it also supports healthy aging. It's a win-win!

The benefits of play for adults is wide-reaching. Games can help relieve stress, add joy to life, boost creativity, improve energy levels, enhance learning, improve connections, and so much more!

Healthy wellness games for seniors can help residents stay physically and mentally engaged. This is critical to their overall well-being. When games are part of an everyday routine, this can make their days less boring. These activities bring a level of excitement and purpose to a senior's day — and that is a powerful thing!

For many, one of the most enjoyable aspects of game night is interaction with others. For example, a group of seniors may meet up in person or online once a week. They may choose to play a puzzle game or even exercise together. 

For example, a group may gather every Sunday evening to complete a crossword together. Or, they can connect with their grandchildren to play games online . This encourages social interaction and a sharper mind. Research shows that when seniors increase or maintain social interactions, they showcase fewer physical and cognitive limitations.

Transform Healthy Aging with Fun Wellness Activities

Seniors and older adults remain an integral part of our society. By sharing their experiences, expertise, knowledge, and wisdom, we all benefit from their heartfelt presence and comforting guidance.

At Televeda , we’re bringing fun, health, and learning through live online social events. Now you can keep helping older adults share stories, enjoy new experiences, interact, and learn new things as Televeda continues to promote optimal wellness for seniors.

Televeda can help you integrate some of the games and activities discussed above to create a fun environment that prioritizes seniors' healthy living. Get people moving, thinking, and socializing while having fun!

Public health fun the use of games in public health education.

admin 23 Mar 2011

Who said that studying Public Health is only about spending hours studying textbooks? It seems there are more fun ways to learn, or at least that’s the idea! I was not aware of the existence of Public Health Games till recently, when I was sent the link to the Last Straw , a board game on social determinants of health! As the website informs us:

• to promote discussion about the social determinants of health;
• to help players build empathy with marginalized people and gain an awareness of players’ own social location;
• to encourage learning in a fun and supportive environment.

This game seems to be quite popular , with publications, videos and other information around it. It even has versions in french and spanish !

I would love to try it out but -as it does not come for free , I thought I would try my luck with something else!

Google did not disappoint me (almost never does!) so here are some links to online Public Health games I found. I will not reveal much about them- that would spoil half the fun!

Public Health games- a new world to me but certainly not to everyone!  The Center for Advancement of Distance Education mentioned above has a whole website dedicated to public health games and has also developed a virtual public health world in Second Life !

Let me know what is your opinion about the games I mention in the post or other ones you might be aware of.

What do you think about the use of games in Public Health education? What might be the benefits of using them and what should we be wary of?

I played the Great Flu game and I really liked it! I had played a game similar on my boyfriends phone and I thought it was really neat! I think playing games in Public Health Education makes it real, when you just learn from reading things it doesn’t really seem as real. Using these games show how much really go into protecting us and how important it is to keep things from getting as bad. We should be wary because you know how to prevent it now but you also know how to further it as long as well. Over all I enjoyed it an think its a very good idea to use these!

Engaging Nutrition Activities for Adults, Groups and Events

As a registered dietitian, the opportunity to share your expertise with a group can be both exciting and create apprehension. Being tasked with the creation of engaging nutrition activities for adults in the office, students in school, not to mention community members at health fairs and events might stop some dietitians in their tracks. 

What will I present about? 

How will I keep the group engaged? 

Do I have time to put the needed resources together? 

But not you: with this article you’re armed with the tools and strategies to lead creative events both in-person and online.

This article provides abundant tips and resource recommendations for registered dietitians like you to host group nutrition education activities. From links to presentations, activity guides and complete toolkits, you’ll find inspiration and confidence for your next group event.

(And if you’re just thinking about transforming your love of teaching into your own small business, The Dietitian’s Guide to Starting an Online Nutrition Business is a great resource to bookmark for later).

For now, let’s start with what most dietitians probably think about for group activities: nutrition presentations. 

Nutrition Presentations for Groups

Tell me the truth: do you have a favorite nutrient?

No matter how much Vitamin D or fiber thrills you as a dietitian, your audience is going to need more than a bone-dry slide deck presentation to capture their attention. 

If you do use a slide-based presentation, build in interactive elements.

• Use a quiz to ask the audience their thoughts before covering a specific topic.
• Consider creating a worksheet that attendees complete during the presentation with key points and their takeaways.
• Include stories or other real-world examples that help to keep the topic relevant.

With an informative and engaging presentation, not only do you have the opportunity to get hired to speak, the event can also be a chance to connect with your future clients!  

Practice pearl: when doing nutrition presentations in person, get your participants to sign a release for images . With their permission, share the photos on your social media channels. Give your participants an easy way to share what they learned and tag you. One of their friends might be your next client!

As the savvy CEO of your blossoming nutrition practice, you know that you do not have to create every little thing from scratch – that’s why you’re an WellResourced fan! 

Here are a few of our favorite presentations available.

Thirty, to be exact!

Health Fairs

If you’ve decided to participate with a table or booth at a local event, including a nutrition activity is a smart choice. Fun games and activities draw traffic to your business. Having a playful activity also creates a fun environment to spark conversation and create potential leads.

Choose an activity that resonates with the target audience. From a cooking demo to an interactive, build a balanced plate display or guess the portion size, choose an activity that will appeal to attendees and match your expertise.

Be sure to have a convenient way for attendees to sign-up to receive more information from you after the event. This could be as simple as a paper signup sheet to receive your newsletter or a tablet for electronic entry.

Retail settings

More and more grocery stores are recognizing the value of having a registered dietitian in-house to support the health and wellness of their customers. This is a win-win! Here are two ideas to try in your favorite grocery store.

Make it plant-based

Focus on encouraging plant-based nutrition with this visually appealing 2-page resource. Help attendees understand how to create a balanced plate with the Balance Your Plant-Based Diet Mini-Guide .

Build a smarter salad

Use the Build a Healthy Salad resource to help attendees create well-balanced salads when using a salad bar. Pair with the Healthy Sandwich Tips and Recipes resource for a workplace lunch focus.

Before you wrap up any nutrition activity, it is important to set goals. We have a ton of templates and resources to help. 

Goal setting

No matter the audience or topic, taking the time to verbalize and document goals helps to cement the topics taught in nutrition classes. No need to create your own; we have a wide assortment of Goal-Setting Worksheets Your Clients Will Absolutely Love (and Use!) right here on WellResourced!

29 Best Group Therapy Activities for Supporting Adults

Childhood begins with a family of origin group and then progresses to groups for education, social activities, shared interests/hobbies, and work.

Group therapy can be traced back to Joseph Pratt. In 1905 he was teaching education classes on hygiene for patients struggling with tuberculosis (Pratt, 1907). Pratt noticed that patients who regularly attended presentations and interacted in groups afterward remained optimistic and courageous and had fewer symptoms and better recovery than those who did not.

Pratt (1907) believed that the emotional connection and support led to increased hope and physical improvement.

Group therapy activities provide emotional connection, education, support, encouragement, and guidance that can improve mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing. In this article, we will list various group therapy activities to use in your practice.

There are several factors that should be considered as a therapist or leader begins to perform activities in group therapy. A needs assessment is essential to determine the purpose of the group and the specific activities, format, and structure that will follow.

Is this group open or closed? Is it designed to treat specific conditions or ailments such as post-traumatic stress disorder, addiction, or a specific mental health issue? Who makes up the group regarding age, gender, race, religion, etc.?

A pre-group orientation is helpful to identify individual patterns of group members and their history of interpersonal relationships (Whittingham, 2018).

The initial orientation will help build a positive emotional bond and working alliance with and among clients. Informing clients about the nature of group therapy and reviewing group agreements, logistical information, and assumptions can help group members feel safe, connected, and more engaged in group activities (Whittingham, 2018).

The activities should reflect the goals and composition of group members as well as the theoretical approach used by the group leader or therapist.

Best narrative therapy group activities

Narrative group therapy is an existential approach to therapy and allows clients to take ownership of their story by sharing it and rewriting it (Clark, 2014).

It provides space between an individual and their lived experience so they can separate problems from their life. Some narrative therapy activities that can be done in group settings include:

1. My life story

Clients are asked to identify five to 10 chapter titles for their life and briefly explain each. They can share these stories with other group members, which helps reinforce the idea that the past is in the past and the future is an opportunity for new beginnings.

2. Statement of position map

A statement of position map is an opportunity for clients to identify a problem, map out the effects of the problem across all areas of their life, and explore how the impacts of this problem deeply affect them.

As clients do this individually, they can share the effects of the problem with group members, which offers support and validation.

3. Expressive art storytelling

Expressive art storytelling can be made into a group activity by having members take part in expressive art together. An example would be to have group members individually draw or paint to the sound of music in a way that depicts their personal story for a specified amount of time. After the session, clients share the meaning of their art with other group members.

Warm-up activities in group sessions help clients build connections, reduce anxiety and defensiveness, and can shift focus to specific topics of discussion. These activities can be used for nearly any age group and for any specific purpose.

1. Two truths and a lie

In this activity, clients will each get an index card to write down three things about themselves. Two of them are true, and one is a lie. Members will go around the room stating the three pieces of information, and other members of the group must guess the lie.

2. Give me a minute

Members of the group will each get an index card with a topic on it (any random topic will do). Individuals talk about the topic for one minute. This fun activity allows members to open up, get creative, and express ideas and opinions about specific topics.

3. Desert island

Ask clients to think about being trapped on a desert island. They may bring one luxury item, one entertainment item, and one survival item. Have members share what they would take with them. This is often a revealing activity that can help members get to know one another.

Group therapy can provide a supportive and cost-effective way to treat symptoms and underlying causes of these debilitating mental health conditions.

1. Affirmations

This is an effective group activity for both anxiety and depression once a (closed) group has been a cohesive unit for several weekly sessions. It is important for group members to know one another to some degree.

A sheet of paper is passed out to each member, and they will write their name on the sheet. The paper is passed around so that other members can write positive affirmations directed to the member. This activity can be uplifting for individuals struggling with depression and decrease levels of anxiety.

2. Healthy brainstorming

This activity is based on Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), behavioral activation , and goal setting. Each member of the group writes down a goal they would like to accomplish to improve mental health, such as diet, exercise, sleep, mindfulness, etc.

Members write down as many goals as they would like and pass the ideas around. Once the list is complete, the group can brainstorm practical ways to implement behaviors that will help achieve these goals.

3. Thought replacement

This positive thought replacement worksheet is based on CBT and can be used in a group setting. Each member can write down or identify a negative automatic thought they typically have. The member sitting next to them will come up with a positive replacement thought.

Thought identification and replacement is a cornerstone of CBT, which is an evidence-based treatment for both anxiety and depression (Wolgensinger, 2015).

This video expands on how useful group therapy can be for anxiety and depression.

2 Activities for coping with loneliness

Loneliness, grief, and loss are very much related to both anxiety and depression.

Group therapy activities can be very beneficial for individuals struggling with loneliness . They can provide a sense of connection, belonging, and shared interests (Shapiro & Gans, 2008). The following activities are a few examples.

1. Person to person

Members of the group will get two to five commands that they must perform as a pair. The last command is always “person to person” and everyone, including the person giving the commands, will have to scramble to find a new partner.

The “odd person out” gets to go into the middle of the group and provide the next set of commands.

The game begins with the person in the center (initially the facilitator) giving instructions such as: “hand to head” and the pairs must put a hand to a head. The facilitator can then say: “elbow to knee,” and the pairs then have to put an elbow to a knee, as well as keeping the hand to the head.

After a few more commands, the facilitator says, “person to person,” and everyone finds a new partner, except for the new person who begins calling out commands.

This activity forces interaction between members, which can help decrease feelings of loneliness and isolation.

2. The interview activity

Participants are paired and asked to interview each other to identify areas of commonality in their lives. Potential areas include education, family, likes, dislikes, professional interests, responsibilities, hometown, etc.

Each pair is asked to report to the group on three commonalities discovered. This activity helps individuals feel more connected and provides a sense of belonging.

2 Helpful activities for grief and loss

Bereavement groups provide members benefits for individuals dealing with grief and loss. They can help normalize the impact of grief, provide a safe, nonjudgmental space for the individual, and help participants discover resources and coping strategies.

According to Alan Wolflet (2004), group activities for grief and loss should help members with the six needs of mourning. These include acknowledging the reality of death , moving toward the pain of loss, remembering the person who died, developing a new identity, searching for meaning , and continuing to receive support from others.

1. Triggers

In this activity, the group identifies and discusses common triggers for their particular loss (what stimulates negative emotions such as sadness). Group members and leaders can then suggest different coping strategies they could use when feeling triggered.

2. Shared positive experiences

Have clients each bring in an item, object, or picture that represents a fond memory of the individual they are grieving. Members can take turns sharing the memory and how it affects them today.

Group therapy provides a uniquely rich environment and powerful setting that can improve mental health. We are hardwired for attachment and groups, which are potent sources of change for the central nervous system, brain, and emotional wellbeing (Denninger, 2010).

2 Activities for building healthy relationships

Healthy relationships are crucial for mental health and wellbeing. These activities can help build healthy relationships and improve personal emotional wellness.

1. Role-play

Role-play can be a great activity for acting out and resolving conflict in a healthy way. Members of the group can take on specific characters and role-play effective discussion, healthy ways to deal with stressful emotions, and setting boundaries. Role-play scripts can be an ideal tool to facilitate such sessions.

2. Effective communication

This effective communication worksheet teaches clients about effective communication techniques.

In a group session, members can practice each of the techniques with a partner and reflect on areas of strength and weakness. These can be discussed in session and continually practiced in subsequent meetings.

Best exercises for learning to let go

Learning to let go of negative thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and the need for control can lead to improvements in mental health.

1. Visualization

Have group members visualize what their lives would look like if they could let go of what was holding them back or what they were holding onto. After doing the visualization individually, have group members share about the experience.

2. Radical Acceptance

This worksheet on radical acceptance can be completed individually inside or outside of a group session. Members can share their responses with the group and reflect on what they learn about themselves and from one another.

Mindfulness group therapy allows individuals to come together in a group setting to develop and practice mindfulness skills and draw benefits from the shared experience with others.

1. Mindful eating

A mindful eating activity can be done with any food but is often done with an almond, raisin, or orange slice.

Each member will take one of the above and be guided through a mindful eating session. Participants will examine the food item, smell it, taste it without chewing, slowly chew, slowly swallow, etc. Participants can share about the experience after it is completed.

2. Mindful breathing

Participants are asked to either close their eyes or stare down at the ground in front of them.

A mindful breathing script may guide them as follows: Take a moment, bring your awareness to your breath. Notice if you are breathing out of your mouth or your nose. Notice the length and quality of the breath. Notice the movement of your body as you breathe. Continue to focus all your attention on your breath and only your breath. If your mind wanders, gently bring your awareness back to your breath. Allow this focus to continue for five minutes.

3. Mindful yoga class

Yoga is a mindful activity that is great for groups. It is best led by a trained yoga instructor who can guide group members through breathwork and gentle movements.

The particular psychotherapeutic conditions a group provides are ideal for creating personal growth and improving self-esteem. Groups can establish a safe, trusting interpersonal environment that allows members to gain new skills and experiences.

Additionally, groups can help dis-confirm faulty memories, beliefs, and assumptions that are the basis of low confidence, self-doubt, and fear that inhibit growth.

Neural networks that hold implicit experiences (leading to these faulty thinking patterns and beliefs) can be triggered and reframed when other group members bring their own struggles and experiences to the group (Badenoch & Cox, 2010).

These group activities can be applied to group settings to improve personal growth and self-esteem.

1. I Will Survive

This worksheet can be applied in a group setting. It helps clients notice their strengths, past successes, and ability to grow and overcome challenges.

2. The worth jar

Group members decorate a glass jar and fill it with notes or trinkets that represent their personal worth and value.

These might include inspiring quotes, small objects that symbolize strengths or accomplishments, or letters from loved ones. Members will share the jar with the group and explain the significance of the items.

3. The “I am” activity

Have group members write down a list of positive affirmations about themselves starting with “I am.” Examples include “I am compassionate” or “I am enough.” They will share their affirmations with other group members.

Our article on Self-Esteem Therapy provides more ideas to improve self-esteem and growth activities that can be applied to both individual and group therapy sessions.

Closing activities should highlight important aspects and reinforce any themes of the session. These activities help to unite group members and encourage them to work on themselves outside of the session before the next meeting.

1. Coping sheet

Create a coping cheat sheet summary card that group members can keep with them between sessions. This card can have a list of three to 10 coping skills that they can use when they are struggling. Examples could be breathing, counting, calling a friend, calling a hotline, listening to a song, or pausing.

2. Share an affirmation

Have group members end the session by going around the room and sharing a take-home affirmation they learned or recognized during the meeting.

Ending activities for your termination session

Closing group therapy treatment is the phase of group development known as termination (Levine, 2011). This is often one of the most difficult aspects of group structure and development. A group leader must evaluate either subjectively or objectively (or both) how the group members have progressed and whether goals have been met (Levine, 2011).

A variety of group activities can be incorporated in the termination phase to assist in this process and help group members transition out of group therapy.

1. Group motto

Have group members collaborate and come up with a group motto based on the goals and outcome of the group sessions.

2. Leave your mark

Do something creative and have the group come up with a piece of artwork collaboratively. They might use thumb or handprints to create a picture or use individual talents to contribute to a mixed-media piece of art.

The final product can be discussed and remembered as members leave the group.

101 Activities to Boost Your Mood

A massive list of ideas to counter depression-related withdrawal..

Posted April 21, 2024 | Reviewed by Kaja Perina

• What Is Depression?
• Find a therapist to overcome depression
• Depression, low mood, and anhedonia can lead to withdrawal from activities and people.
• Engaging in pleasant activities is associated with better mood and lower depression symptoms.
• If you aren't sure how to get started with behavioral activation, this list of 101 activities can help.

“Behavioral activation” is a therapeutic intervention that involves scheduling or incorporating pleasant activities into daily life. It is effective for treating depression as a stand-alone treatment. However, multiple other psychotherapies (such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) also incorporate a focus on increasing pleasant events.

The concept intuitively makes sense–do fun things and you will start to feel a little better. But in practice, it isn’t always easy to engage in pleasant activities when you are already feeling down. Chronic low mood often leads to withdrawal. Withdrawal, in turn, leads to a sense of isolation and even lower mood. Furthermore, anhedonia –a lack of interest or enjoyment from life's experiences–is a common symptom of depression and can make activities that used to be appealing no longer seem so. After a while, it can be hard to remember what types of things used to be fun.

Scheduling pleasant activities (rather than waiting until you spontaneously want to do them) can really help to improve mood–and even reduce anhedonia . Consider planning one per day for the next week, and track your mood before and after each activity. If your mood goes up, add that activity into your regular rotation. A 2023 study of US adults suggests that engaging in a greater variety of pleasant activities is associated with lower levels of depression. So even if you already have a few hobbies that help you feel better, there may be value in broadening and diversifying your favorites. If you can’t think of what to start with, here is a list of 101 ideas:

unwto tourism highlights 2022

Un tourism | bringing the world closer.

Unwto 2021: a year in review, 2021: tourism united, resilient and determined.

2021 has been a year of learning and adapting for tourism. It has proven that only by working together can the sector overcome challenges and embrace opportunities.

Gathering the global tourism community and developing concrete actions, UNWTO has led tourism’s response with the vision of not only restarting, but doing so in a more inclusive, innovative and sustainable way.

January - March

As global tourism faced up to a second year of unprecedented crisis , UNWTO began 2021 by counting the cost so far . At the same time, however, the emergence of vaccines brought hope . The Global Tourism Crisis Committee met to explore what this meant for safe travel and the restart of tourism, while the announcement of the winners of the UNWTO Global Start-up Competition recognized the role culture and creativity will play in tourism’s restart and recovery .  

April - June

Collaboration and innovation were the focusat the start of the second quarter. UNWTO partnered with IATA on a new Destination Tracker to give both tourists and destinations clear, impartial and trusted advice. And a new Start-up Competition was launched to find the best ideas for accelerating rural development through tourism. In May, the launch of the Best Tourism Villages by UNWTO generated significant interest from Members in every global region. 

July - September

As destinations in Europe welcomed tourists back for the peak summer season, UNWTO highlighted the role of  digital solutions for the safe restart of the sector. But UNWTO also looked ahead, to a more sustainable future , working with key partners to  reduce plastic waste and consumption across every part of the sector. Together, we celebrated World Tourism Day around the theme of Tourism for Inclusive Growth, a message of solidarity and determination that was echoed on a global scale.

October - December

The final quarter of 2021 began with cautious optimism as UNWTO’s Barometer showed signs of improvement in tourist arrival numbers during the summer season in the northern hemisphere. A new partnership with Netflix will bring the message of tourism as a driver of opportunity to a massive global audience, while in November, UNWTO was tourism’s voice at COP26 and signatories to the landmark Glasgow Declaration keep growing. Finally, against the backdrop of the UNWTO General Assembly , the programme of work for the coming biennium was approved and 77% of Members voted to secure a second mandate for the Secretary-General from 2022-2025.

Growing and Moving Forward

UNWTO brings together political leaders from across the globe to deliver a strong, coordinated response. Governments, destinations, fellow UN agencies and international organizations met at key international events joining efforts to rethink tourism. Institutional coordination has proven crucial to find the solutions that build a smarter, greener and safer tourism.

Leaving Nobody Behind

The pledge to ‘ leave nobody behind ’ means nobody should miss out : Not now as we support the sector in the face of crisis, and not in the future as tourism starts again. Tourism is a proven driver of equality and opportunity. And that’s why we turn words into actions, delivering guidelines and action plans , to ensure everyone can enjoy the opportunities tourism brings.

A Shared Vision

Advancing the transformation of the tourism sector , partnerships are the only way forward. In 2021, UNWTO signed agreements with international organizations and the private sector to step our vision for the future of tourism: innovation , education , sustainability , green investment , rural development.

World Tourism Barometer: September 2022

UNWTO updates World Tourism Barometer and reports international tourism back to 60% of pre-pandemic levels from January to July 2022

Below are excerpts from the September 2022 release of the UNWTO Tourism Barometer :

• The steady recovery reflects strong pent-up demand for international travel, especially in the months of June and July which are part of the Northern Hemisphere summer season. The easing or lifting of travel restrictions in an increasing number of countries also contributed to boost results.
• International tourist arrivals almost tripled (+172%) in January-July 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. Numbers climbed from -64% in January 2022 (versus 2019) to -28% in July, the strongest month since the start of the pandemic.
• Asia and the Pacific (+165%) saw arrivals more than double in the first seven months of 2022, though they remained 86% below 2019 levels.
• The ongoing recovery can also be seen in outbound tourism spending from major source markets. Expenditure from France was at -12% in January-July 2022 compared to 2019 while spending from Germany stood at -14%.

TOURISM TRENDS 2022

11 Aug TOURISM TRENDS 2022

The situation for tourism remains rather unusual as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

The crisis has marked a significant change for everyone, and above all for tourism, one of sectors hit hardest by the virus. 2020 was the year in which international tourism came to a near-complete standstill, and the only alternatives were domestic and local tourism.

2021 has seen some improvements, but only in a very subtle way as restrictions are still in place and many countries keep their borders fully or partially closed.

It is difficult to make an estimate for 2022 as it is not known how the pandemic will evolve. However, it is possible to talk about the new tourism trends that are likely to emerge over the coming year: – International travel with restrictions still maintained by both destinations and airlines in order to offer 100% security to the consumer.

– Reinforcement of COVID-19 testing; two years after the pandemic, COVID testing will still be in place as a preventive measure. – Conscious travel will be advocated. Travel to more distant destinations, but with prolonged durations of stay, as consumers look to enjoy as much of each place they visit as possible. – Green travel. Climate change is a problem that is present and growing. Consumers now are much more responsible and aware of the reality they live in on daily basis.

– A new trend is the “ed-ventures”. It is about combining education and holidays for the youngest members of the family. While adults may need to telework or attend meetings, their children can be doing workshops and learning in a playful way.
