ABSTRACT

The following table provides a summary of the main health and wellness resources and assets to be found in the different regions of the world, the way in which they are used, and the main places where they tend to be offered. As it is diffi cult to generalize about whole continents, it is indicated if only one or two countries within a region can offer a certain resource. The focus is also on those countries that really use their assets for tourism purposes (i.e. with a complete infrastructure, targeted promotion, etc .) ( Figure 12.1 ).
