"The potential for Yoga and Spiritual tourism is very significant," said Mehul Gor, MD of
Mumbai's Amigo Travel Services. We often take Russian and American yoga students on trips to
India. Last year, we dealt with over 100,000 visitors from all over the globe who came to India
just for Yoga.
Not only does yoga tourism benefit the ashram services industry, but it is also beneficial to the
whole hotel industry. It was stated by Anuj Singhal from Mauritius Tourism that most of their
customers who travel to India for a Yoga experience remain for a longer length of time than
originally intended. Guest homes and serviced flats of the highest calibre are also in demand.
Business organisations, both domestic and international, often utilise Yoga sessions for their
workers as an alternative to on-site training programmes. As a result, people in the tourist sector
will have additional options.
However, take note of this warning. No matter how hard we try, Yoga tourism will only grow if
we provide visitors with high-quality experiences. A large number of other nations are trying to
get in on the action. The Indonesian island of Bali is a well-known Yoga destination. Other
popular locations for Yoga World Tours include Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia. Morocco,
Turkey, Fiji, China, and Sri Lanka are also vying for attention on the Yoga global circuit with a
'Hot Spring Yoga' tour.
CONCLUSION
Since the Beatles visited Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's ashram in Rishikesh in 1968 to participate in
a Transcendental Meditation training course, India has become a popular destination for yoga
tourists. Since then, there has been a resurgence in Western interest in Indian spirituality[6, 7]
and many Westerners have travelled to India in search of "authentic" yoga at ashrams such as
those in Mysore (home of Ashtanga Yoga) and Rishikesh. As a result of this trend, the Indian
Ministry of Tourist and the Ministry of AYUSH promoted India as a "yoga tourism hub" and
established many yoga schools providing teacher training. Reception Enlightenment for Idiots by
Mindful Yoga teacher Anne Cushman softly satirises the spiritual journeys of young Westerners
to India, as well as the many types of ashrams and yoga that they may choose from. Elizabeth
Gilbert's 2006 book Eat, Pray, Love, which has been made into a romantic Hollywood film,
recounts her journey of self-discovery at an Indian ashram. The Siddha Yoga ashram Gurudev
Siddha Peeth in Maharashtra is where Gilbert is said to have stayed. The "Pray" scene in the film
takes place at the Pataudi Ashram Hari Mandir in Delhi. India has a competitive advantage over
other nations due to the low cost of travel to India and the availability of many low-cost
alternatives. It's also where yoga had its start, according to legend. In order to succeed as a Yoga
tourism operator, teacher, or service provider, you must build on this assumption and deliver
world-class services and genuine outcomes to wellness travellers. More possibilities to succeed
in the business if you provide Yoga packages that can be used as spiritual tours, a visit to the Taj
Mahal, an Indian experience tour, and an adventure trip.
