Wellness Tourism & Regenerative Travel | Milan Longevity Summit 2026

*What if travel could leave both the traveller and the destination better than before?* Travel has always been connected to restoration, discovery, and escape. But as health, wellbeing, sustainability, and longevity become increasingly important to consumers, the role of hospitality is beginning to change. In this conversation from the *Humanity Stage at the Milan Longevity Summit 2026*, *Jean-Yves Minet*, Global Brand President, Midscale & Economy Brands at Accor, joins moderator *Anja Leissner*, CEO of Spring, to explore the evolution of *wellness tourism and regenerative travel* and what it means for the future of hospitality. Wellness is moving beyond the spa or retreat to influence how travellers think about *sleep, nutrition, movement, mental wellbeing, nature, social connection, and the environments in which they spend their time*. At the same time, regenerative travel asks a broader question: can tourism move beyond reducing its negative footprint and actively contribute to the health and resilience of the places and communities that make travel possible? The conversation explores what these shifts mean for a global hospitality industry operating at scale. How can wellbeing become embedded into the everyday travel experience rather than remain a premium add-on? How are changing consumer expectations reshaping hotels and destinations? Can wellness become accessible across different segments of the market? And how can hospitality balance the wellbeing of guests with that of employees, communities, and local ecosystems? *Participants:* • Jean-Yves Minet – Global Brand President, Midscale & Economy Brands, Accor • Moderated by Anja Leissner – Chief Executive Officer, Spring Ultimately, the future of travel may be defined by a broader understanding of what it means to feel better after a journey. *Not simply returning home restored, but creating experiences that contribute to the wellbeing of travellers, communities, and the places they encounter along the way.* *Powered by The Longevity Suite* #MilanLongevitySummit #WellnessTourism #RegenerativeTravel #Hospitality #Wellbeing #FutureOfTravel #Longevity #RegenerativeTourism #Humanity #OneHealth
