New Travel Trend: Sleep Tourism on the rise

• Sleep tourism is one of the biggest travel trends of 2023, with more than 40% of respondents reporting poorer sleep since the pandemic.
• Emma’s relaxing, restful sleep hotels are located in Sydney, Australia and Taipei, Taiwan.
• The sleep company will expand in the sleep tourism space later this year.

Emma — The Sleep Company is embracing the flourishing trend of sleep tourism by opening two bespoke sleep hotels: one in Sydney, Australia and the other in Taipei, Taiwan. As more travelers seek out a truly restful experience during their vacation, these unique hotels provide a revolutionary travel experience on two different continents.

The Growth of Sleep Tourism

Sleep has become a recurring topic of concern and interest since the onset of the pandemic. In a study conducted by the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine, it was discovered that 40% of respondents reported a decline in sleep quality compared to the pre-COVID-19 period. The global health crisis has undoubtedly affected people’s sleep patterns and highlighted the importance of restful slumber for overall well-being.

By embracing sleep tourism, travel enthusiasts can now satisfy their wanderlust while also nurturing their physical and mental well-being. Sleep tourism fosters an appreciation for the importance of relaxation and rejuvenation, acknowledging the crucial role that sleep plays in sustaining a healthy lifestyle.
