Advertising and Promoting Wellness Travel *

At no time as a “Wellness Travel Specialist” should you state, through written or verbal form that “this treatment will do ……” or that “this treatment will cure or fix” anything. You cannot claim to that any treatments or activities offered at wellness properties will cure, heal or fix any medical issue, symptom or disease. Consumers need reliable and accurate information to make an informed decision about whether to purchase a Wellness Travel experience. In this sense, informed choice is an underpinning imperative in framing ethical advertising of Wellness Travel booking and consulting services. Advertising includes all forms of print and electronic media, and any public communication using television, radio, film, newspaper, billboards, books, lists, pictorial representations, designs, mobile communications or other displays, the internet, social media and directories. It also includes business cards, announcement cards, office signs, letterhead, telephone directory listings, professional lists, professional directory listings and similar professional notices. Situations in which practitioners make themselves available or provide information for media reports, magazine articles or advertorials are also considered to be advertising. Information included in an advertisement for Wellness Travel must be honest, reliable and useful to support the consumer’s capacity to make informed Wellness Travel choices. Using language that consumers can understand and avoiding unfamiliar jargon is crucial to conveying the message ethically. Advertising that is false, misleading, inaccurate or deceptive compromises the integrity of the profession as a whole and carries serious risks to the consumer, such as exploitation, false expectation or hope, and/or serious compromise to their health and wellbeing. This is especially relevant where the consumer is vulnerable or insufficiently informed to make a decision about the suitability of particular kinds of treatment. Wellness Travel Specialist must not: • Make false, exaggerated or unsubstantiated claims (for example, Ayurveda cures cancer or removes toxins) • Imply that any treatment or therapy is infallible, magical, miraculous or guaranteed. This includes using the terms “cure” and “heal” • Promote a specialty or specialised service unless you can provide proof of specific training in that specialisation. • Misrepresent the standard or quality of the service • Use puffery (that is, claim to be the best, the cheapest, the most effective) • Use language that could cause fear or distress • Use the terms “masseuse” or “masseur”.
