“Travel not only makes you happy but also healthier”—this is definitely not just a line from tourism promoters, but the result of scientific research. According to a report compiled by the UK’s Daily Mail based on the Pan American Retirement Study, this study shows that taking holidays can reduce the risk of heart attacks and depression, as well as activate the brain.

Statistics show that around 3 million people die globally each year due to insufficient physical activity, mainly because of non-communicable diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. Traveling can significantly reduce these risks.

According to another study from the Global Coalition on Aging, women who travel only once every six years have a higher proportion of death from heart disease compared to those who travel every two years. In addition, taking your body away from a busy work life is a good way to slow down the aging process.
