The concept of wellness tourism has emerged but hasn’t broken through yet: it is already defined and presented in the literature and there is a clear growing demand, however, it is not yet totally clear the players’ strategy, who are still searching how to refine their offerings. The purpose of the present study is to investigate how significant is wellness tourism to today’s consumer needs and how hotels can improve their strategies to better respond to those needs. The study was done with a qualitative case study approach using the Six Senses Hotels Resorts & Spas case and the primary data was collected through a survey and interviews, which were triangulated with secondary data from TripAdvisor. From the results obtained it is evident that, while the categories qualification during a traditional tourism experience and, concretely, a wellness experience can be similar, the prioritization and, itself, the categories value scale that emerge are distinct from each other. Therefore, it is not possible yet to outline the existence of a well-defined gap between wellness tourism concept and the traditional tourism notion. However, with the growing concern for health and the increasing stress levels, the demand for this type of tourism offerings has the tendency to increase. The contribution of this work to Six Senses and other related organizations will be a presentation of possible improvements for the strategy to be implemented, so that they can respond more effectively to consumer needs. / Atualmente estamos perante um contexto de crescente demanda por turismo de bem-estar e atraindo cada vez mais players nesta indústria. Este conceito já emergiu, mas ainda não eclodiu: está estabelecido na literatura e existe efetivamente demanda, mas os hotéis ainda não têm a sua estratégia e oferta claramente definida. O objetivo deste estudo é investigar a importância do turismo de bem-estar para as necessidades do consumidor atual e, consequentemente, analisar como os hotéis podem melhorar as suas estratégias para responder melhor a esses consumidores. O estudo foi realizado através de um caso de estudo qualitativo do Six Senses Hotels Resorts & Spas e os dados primários foram recolhidos através de um questionário e entrevistas, os quais foram triangulados com dados secundários recolhidos do TripAdvisor. Através dos resultados obtidos pode-se, por um lado, ressalvar a similitude do turismo de bem-estar com o conceito de turismo convencional na qualificação, isto é, nas categorias apontadas como importantes pelos consumidores, mas, por outro lado, são bem evidentes as diferenças existentes na priorização e hierarquia da respetiva escala de valores dessas categorias. Desta forma, ainda não é possível a definição de uma diferença bem demarcada entre o conceito tradicional de turismo e o turismo de bem-estar. No entanto, com a crescente preocupação pela saúde e com o aumento dos níveis de stress na sociedade atual, a procura por este tipo de ofertas tem a tendência para aumentar. A contribuição deste estudo, para o Six Senses e para outros estabelecimentos relacionados, é a apresentação de possíveis melhorias nas estratégias implementadas.
