Thailand has just started the Amazing Thailand Health and Beauty campaign to make the country a top spot for health and wellness travel in the ASEAN region. This campaign is all about attracting tourists who are looking for great healthcare, spa, and beauty treatments. As more people are traveling to improve their health and relax, Thailand aims to offer exclusive deals, partnerships, and events, starting with a three-day wellness fair in Cambodia.
Thailand’s Push to Become a Wellness Hub
The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) launched the Amazing Thailand Health and Beauty campaign to make Thailand a leading destination for health and beauty tourism in Southeast Asia. More and more people want to combine travel with wellness, including healthcare, relaxation, and beauty treatments. This campaign focuses on health, spas, beauty services, and relaxing packages for travelers from ASEAN countries, South Asia, and the South Pacific.
Important Travel Trends Backing the Campaign
The campaign is based on data from a 2024 report about global travel trends. This report shows that:
- 1.48% of international visitors to Thailand come for health, wellness, and medical services.
- These travelers stay for about 10 days and spend roughly 100,259 Baht each.
- The percentage of wellness tourists from nearby regions like ASEAN, South Asia, and the South Pacific is higher, reaching 2.17%.
- Cambodia and Myanmar are some of the top countries sending wellness travelers to Thailand.
Exciting Launch in Cambodia
The Amazing Thailand Health and Beauty campaign kicked off with a three-day fair in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, from March 21 to 23, 2025. This event took place at AEON Mall, one of Cambodia’s busiest shopping areas. At the fair, 14 Thai wellness businesses showcased their top services, including hospitals, spas, and beauty clinics. Visitors were able to talk with experts, enjoy activities, and win Thai-themed prizes like elephant-print bags and travel accessories.
The event was special because it also marked 75 years of diplomatic ties between Thailand and Cambodia, with wellness tourism as the highlight of this celebration.
Partnering with ASEAN to Offer Special Deals
One big part of the campaign is working with VISA to offer exclusive discounts for Cambodian VISA cardholders. From April 1 to June 15, 2025, people with ASEAN VISA cards can get special deals on wellness packages in Thailand. These offers include medical check-ups, cosmetic surgeries, luxury spas, and beauty treatments, making it easier for regional travelers to enjoy Thai wellness services.
Two Key Strategies for the Campaign’s Success
The campaign is using two strategies to engage customers:
- Direct Engagement with Consumers: By holding events like the fair in Cambodia, TAT helps travelers connect directly with Thai wellness brands, building trust and interest.
- Partnerships with ASEAN Businesses: TAT is working with banks, wellness providers, travel agencies, and influencers to reach a larger audience and make it easier for ASEAN tourists to book wellness services in Thailand.
The campaign is expected to attract hundreds of thousands of people, involving more than 15 partners across ASEAN, including major businesses like banks, hospitals, and airlines.
Boosting the Wellness Industry in ASEAN
This campaign also plans to increase the number of people who visit Thailand for health and wellness tourism. Health and beauty tourists tend to spend more money, stay longer, and visit Thailand more often. By connecting Thai healthcare providers with international tour operators and financial companies, Thailand aims to grow its share of the wellness travel market in Southeast Asia.
Why Thailand Stands Out in Wellness Tourism
Thailand has long been known for its great health and wellness services. The country offers everything from traditional massage and herbal remedies to world-class medical treatments. With its internationally recognized hospitals, top surgeons, and affordable prices, Thailand offers incredible value for wellness travelers. Whether it’s a spa retreat in Phuket or cosmetic surgery in Bangkok, Thailand has something for everyone.
Thailand’s Bright Future in Wellness Tourism
With the Amazing Thailand Health and Beauty campaign, Thailand is showing it is not just a popular wellness destination, but the best place to go for health and beauty travel in ASEAN. By working with partners and offering great deals, Thailand is set to become a top choice for wellness travelers looking for transformation, relaxation, and rejuvenation.
