Three-quarters of Germans believe health makes you happy. Health no longer means only controlling disease but is a purpose in life, has a positive impact on the work-life balance. Here the term selfness has been established: LOHAS no longer view themselves as patients but as consumers who take active, critical and competent action to improve their quality of life. Thus in health tourism hotels are mutating to health centers and hospitals to recovery temples. The boundary between health and holidays blurred. Medical spa is a vacation with preventive regenerative character. Individualized, professional and service-oriented health management is a trend: online sports coach and personal trainer, living pharmacy, lifestyle pharmacy with 24-hour hotline and high-touch pharmacy. Beauty with natural products has also emerged as a growth-promising market: natural cosmetics as a lifestyle. Overall, it is expected that private spending in the German health sector will rise by 2010 to around € 77 billion. |

Slow Food |

Thanks to booming organic supermarkets and food discount stores the organic food sector becomes an important component of LOHAS culture, with worldwide sales of about $ 40 billion and double-digit growth rates. Organic products are not only healthy, but meet high expectations of enjoyment, authenticity, comfort and quality of life. The image of the shriveled carrots from the musty health food store is long gone. Foodies in Italy, the home of the Slow Food movement, and many Western industrialized countries prefer regional direct marketing (Community Supported Agriculture - CSA) and distrust the global players in the food industry. Besides high-quality and fresh organic food, ready meals that combine health and enjoyment play an increased role: Cool convenience. Trendy noodle bars, sushi and veggie dinners are announced: Fast-Good fast food place. |

Slow Tourism |

Ecotourism means the responsible use of culture and nature and a good conscience when flying to foreign countries (keyword CO2-compensation). Travel must be experience-oriented and modular. When individual tourism is concerned what counts is the I and the uniqueness of the journey. This need is met in hotels of the neo-green avantgarde: Design hotels allow their clients to experiencing nature, pleasure and ethical claim. In addition, the concept of the classical annual leave is about to be overcome. The current trend is cool getaways to escape the professional tension and treat yourself with a short break. |
