SHARE YOUR VOICE
Retreats are transforming the way people travel, heal, learn and reconnect. Yet despite the remarkable growth of the retreat industry, there is still very little independent research dedicated to understanding the people, businesses and behaviours shaping its future.
We believe it's time to change that.
The inaugural Global Retreat Report by Synergy - The Retreat Show has been created to establish one of the world's first annual benchmark studies dedicated entirely to the global retreat industry.
Our ambition is simple: to build an independent body of knowledge that helps businesses make better decisions, supports innovation, and strengthens the retreat industry for years to come.
For the first time, we are bringing together two equally important perspectives:
The professionals creating, hosting and delivering retreat experiences.
The consumers attending retreats today, considering their first retreat, or simply curious about what retreats have to offer.
Because understanding the future of retreats means listening to both.
By taking part, your feedback will shape the annual benchmark for the global retreat industry. Your perspective will help establish the first baseline through which future trends, behaviours, opportunities and industry shifts will be measured.
This is where the story begins. We invite you to be part of it.
TWO PERSPECTIVES. ONE INDUSTRY.
INDUSTRY PROFESSIONALS
For retreat leaders, wellness practitioners, hotels and resorts, travel advisors, destination management companies, consultants, hospitality professionals and others working within or alongside the retreat industry.
Share your experience of today's industry, the trends you're seeing, the challenges you're facing and your perspective on what comes next.
Survey length: Approximately 10 minutes
CONSUMERS
Whether you've attended many retreats, experienced your first retreat recently, are considering booking one, or have never attended a retreat at all - we want to hear from you.
Help us better understand what motivates people to attend retreats, what prevents others from booking, what creates meaningful experiences and what today's travellers are looking for.
Survey length: Approximately 8 minutes
