Ayurveda & Wellness Tourism

Challenges and Future Outlook

• Lack of Formal Infrastructure: Dedicated large-scale Ayurvedic hospitals or comprehensive wellness centers are still few.
• Limited Skilled Manpower: While traditional healers exist, there's a need for formally trained Ayurvedic practitioners and therapists to cater to wellness tourists.
• Documentation and Research: There's a need for more systematic documentation and scientific validation of traditional Naga healing practices to integrate them with mainstream wellness offerings.
• Accessibility: Reaching some of the remote, pristine locations ideal for wellness retreats can be challenging due to road conditions.
• Promotion: Nagaland needs to actively promote its wellness tourism potential beyond its cultural festivals.
• Preservation of Traditional Knowledge: Ensuring the ethical and sustainable use of traditional knowledge and medicinal plants is crucial to avoid over-exploitation.
