Airport assistance can certainly enhance Wellness Travel. As defined by the Wellness Tourism Association Wellness Travel is “Travel that allows the traveler to maintain, enhance or kick-start a healthy lifestyle, and support or increase one’s sense of wellbeing.” Our consumer surveys tell us that wellness travel goals and intentions include a General, Overall Reboot, an opportunity to Enhance Mental Wellness/Wellbeing and Recover from a Stressful Time or Personal Loss.
The journey to a destination that allows you to reach your goals often begins with a trip through the airport which is typically a hub of crowds, noise and various formalities that can quickly turn stressful. Enter Airssist. Founded in 2019, Airssist is a Dubai-based online online platform offering airport concierge services, aimed at providing travelers worldwide with a more relaxing airport experience.
