Anticipation for First-Ever Global Wellness Summit in the Middle East Builds; Record Number of Pre- and Post-Summit Experiences Announced
The leading conference on the business of wellness heads to Tel Aviv this October 31-November 3; travel-starved delegates wanting to explore Israel’s extraordinary mix of ancient history and innovation, and rich culture of spirituality and wellness, will not be disappointed
Miami, FL – March 9, 2022 – The Global Wellness Summit (GWS), the foremost gathering of international leaders in the multitrillion-dollar global wellness economy, today announced nine unique pre- and post-Summit experiences available exclusively to delegates attending the GWS taking place at the Hilton Tel Aviv from October 31-November 3. Previous GWS delegates are encouraged to register before a rate increase at the end of March, while those interested in becoming a first-time delegate to the conference can apply to attend here.
Tel Aviv, known as the “Start-Up Nation,” boasts more start-ups than any place other than Silicon Valley and is considered ground zero for health and wellness innovation, technology and investment. The Summit agenda, which will include a greatly expanded Tech Innovation Pavilion, will expose delegates to the global companies pioneering the future of health and wellness. The GWS will also give attendees a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to connect with the vibrant cultures of Tel Aviv and Israel, places bursting with history, art, spirituality and creativity.
The 2022 GWS pre- and post-Summit experiences, which are certain to fill up quickly, are entirely bespoke and curated for GWS delegates by Tova Wald, the premiere name in luxury travel not only in Israel but around the world. There are numerous full-day tours to choose from, so delegates can dive straight into the heart and soul of Tel Aviv one day–and then visit must-see, historical Israeli destinations the next.
The full-day trips range from “Helicopter Highlights of Israel: Tel Aviv, Ramon Crater, Dead Sea, Jerusalem & Galilee” to excursions exploring what’s hot in Tel Aviv right now. These include tours of emerging young fashion brands, viewing urban art/graffiti in Tel Aviv’s hip Florentine neighborhood, a Bauhaus architecture walking tour, as well as the opportunity to mingle with Tel Aviv start-ups, meeting the entrepreneurs shaping tomorrow’s wellness landscape.
“These fascinating excursions around Tel Aviv, greater Israel and Jordan are just one part of what is shaping up to be the most exciting Summit to date,” said Nancy Davis, Chief Creative Officer and Executive Director of GWS. “With the world finally opening up, and health and wellness being reimagined in a post-pandemic world, it’s the perfect time to bring the Summit to the incredibly innovative and culturally diverse city of Tel Aviv.”
