Connection, Insight, and Inspiration: The Wellness Tourism Summit 2026

The program is packed full of different ways to connect with local and global wellness industry leaders. You’ll meet with and hear from the best in the business and take away valuable insights about the wellness tourism industry.

Wellness Connect is a carefully curated networking experience designed to spark genuine business connection. Through a series of pre-matched, rotating meetings, you’ll meet like-minded operators, suppliers, and industry leaders - opening the door to fresh ideas, aligned partnerships, and meaningful opportunities.

Welcome to Wellness, proudly brought to you by Sodashi, is the official opening and sets the tone for the Summit. Enjoy nourishing canapés, drinks, and a relaxed atmosphere within the rainforest surrounds of Crystalbrook Byron and gather with other delegates, speakers, and industry leaders as conversations begin to flow.

Wake up to Wellness will help you start the day right, with a range of wellness experiences to choose from before the main program starts.

The Conference Program unfolds as a dynamic day of ideas and exchange, where delegates dive into emerging trends, fresh research, and real-world insights. Through engaging presentations, keynotes and panel conversations, it’s a space to explore innovation, share perspectives, and spark what’s next in wellness tourism. And this year there’ll be even more time for connection, with extra networking opportunities and more time for Q&A with speakers.

Your whole Summit experience is topped up with Wellness for You - the chance to make more of your trip to Byron, with a collection of amazing pre and post wellness experiences, carefully curated by us here at Well Traveller. Choose from a cooking masterclass, an equine wellness experience, a mini yoga retreat, a cacao ceremony and breathwork session, a nature and music immersion, or a scent-blending workshop.
