Overview
- WITT distilled more than 100 certification criteria into essential hotel requirements organized under Healthy Eating, Holistic Healing, Nature, Movement, and Local Impact.
- The standards call for actions such as dietary-inclusive menus, filtered water, biophilic design with access to green spaces, fitness programming, local sourcing, and sleep-supportive rooms.
- A global WITT Standards Advisory Committee of experts in hospitality, fitness, nutrition, sustainability, and travel guided the development.
- Organizers say the benchmarks provide independent verification that helps hotels credibly market wellness offerings and attract wellness-focused guests.
- Certification applications are open to properties worldwide at wittcertified.com, following leadership alignment as WITT founder Robin Ruiz became president and CEO of the Wellness Tourism Association in August 2025.
