UK-based wellness travel specialist Healing Holidays has opened its first overseas office in Singapore.

The new branch offers wellness solutions to health-conscious consumers from across Asia, Australia and the West coast of the US. The Singapore branch will also play an important role in the sourcing and securing of new wellness properties in the region.

The Singapore office will be headed by Claire Bostock, previously chief business officer at the Absolute Sanctuary resort in Thailand, who will work closely with the head office in the UK.

“Wellness is rooted deeply in Asian tradition and lifestyle, and in the last few years there has been an increasing interest from the region in Wellness travel,” said Bostock. “However, there are no established experts in these markets who can advise and point consumers to the right wellness property or programme to meet their needs. Healing Holidays, with its strong brand reputation and profile, is very well placed to cater to this growing demand and I am extremely excited about expanding its footprint across the region."
