[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] ‘Dr. Ananti Clinic’ has been newly selected as one of the ‘2020 Recommended Wellness Tourism Destinations’ conducted by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Tourism Organization. It is the third in Busan.


Busan City announced on the 11th that it has newly selected nine ‘wellness tourism destinations’ this year where people can heal their body and mind exhausted by the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), and among them is Dr. Ananti Clinic.


As demand for healing and health travel has increased, 39 recommended wellness tourism destinations nationwide were selected from 2017 to 2019. Including the nine newly selected this year, a total of 48 places receive various support from the government. They are given various benefits such as wellness tourism facility consulting, improvement projects for foreigner accommodation conditions, domestic and international promotional activities, and tourism product development.


This year’s wellness tourism destinations were decided as nine places including Busan’s ‘Dr. Ananti Clinic’ after 1st to 3rd evaluations by a panel of experts in tourism and wellness from 37 candidates recommended by local governments and regional tourism organizations.


Busan City now has its third wellness tourism destination following Centum City Spaland (2017) and Gijang Healing Forest (2019).


Wellness tourism destinations are classified into four themes: nature/forest healing, beauty/spa, healing/meditation, and Korean medicine. Among them, Busan’s ‘Dr. Ananti Clinic,’ which falls under the beauty/spa theme, is located at Ananti Cove Resort with the Gijang sea as its backdrop.


Dr. Ananti Clinic is promoting life reset detox medical tourism worldwide through well-being diets and detox therapy. Visitors can experience various and unique immune healing programs and enjoy relaxation such as yoga and meditation while overlooking the sea.



Byun Sung-wan, Acting Mayor of Busan, said, “This selected destination is expected to establish itself as a medical wellness tourism site where citizens exhausted by COVID-19 can heal both mentally and physically,” and added, “Together with the existing Centum City Spaland and Gijang Healing Forest, we will develop specialized wellness medical tourism products so that Busan can leap forward as a global medical tourism city.”
