Studies have shown that poor sleep not only affects our mood and performance, but also increases the risk of heart disease and diabetes. Today, vacationing isn’t just about discovering new places — it’s also about finding time to de-stress and recharge.

In today’s fast-paced world, travel is no longer just about ticking off new destinations — it’s become a form of essential self-care. For time-poor professionals navigating high-stress careers, a getaway offers more than a change of scenery; it’s a vital pause, a chance to restore balance and well-being.
This growing desire for restorative escapes is growing stronger, particularly in the <a href="https://www.mordorintelligence.com/industry-reports/asia-pacific-wellness-tourism-market?destinasian">Asia-Pacific</a> region, where the wellness travel market is poised to soar from an estimated US$156.85 billion in 2025 to nearly US$220 billion by 2030. For both discerning travelers and hoteliers, the journey inward is becoming just as important as the destination itself.
Sleep tourism is growing in popularity too, with a market worth US$ 75.75 billion in 2025 according to analysts Coherent Market Insights, and projected to reach US$ 129.90 billion by 2032, boosted by people seeking out specialized retreats that can help them get the quality shut eye they deserve.
The numbers speak for themselves. Getting a good night’s sleep is one of the most important factors for a fulfilling vacation. In China, the largely undiscovered beauty of Chengdu and the UNESCO world heritage site and turquoise waters of Jiuzhaigou offer a perfectly relaxing <a href="https://destinasian.com/update/sleeping-in-the-clouds-china" target="_blank" rel="noopener">immersion in nature</a> with tailored sleep programs offered at <a href="https://destinasian.com/china-hotels-conrad-jiuzhaigou" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Conrad Jiuzhaigou</a> and <a href="https://destinasian.com/china-hotels-waldorf-astoria-chengdu" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Waldorf Astoria Chengdu</a>, while the Tibetan villagers manage to retain a sense of <a href="https://destinasian.com/editorial/living-mindfully-with-tibetans-in-jiuzhaigou" target="_blank" rel="noopener">serene peace and calm</a> that would be good for us all to be able to emulate.
