abstract: RCMAC stands for recent change memory administration center, sometimes mistakenly called recent change message accounting center, in late 20th century Bell System parlance, or recent change memory administration group (RCMAG). It is an organization of people in a phone company which is responsible for programming the service and features purchased by residential and business customers into the central office. Generally the term is used only in large US phone companies called Regional Bell Operating Companies (RBOCs). Installing a telephone line is a complex process, involving coordinated work on outside plant and inside. Inside plant work includes running a jumper on the main distribution frame and programming the switch. Middle 20th century crossbar switches had no computer, hence the same workers who installed the jumper generally wired the necessary information into switch cross connect translations as well. Records were kept as pencil notations in ledger books or index cards. Stored program control exchanges in the 1970s had teleprinter channels for entering and verifying translation information, which allowed centralizing these functions. In the 1980s, the resulting conglomeration of Teletype machines were replaced with a more organized system called MARCH which could more easily be coordinated with COSMOS, TIRKS and other operations support systems. Generally, the existence of the RCMAC organization started with 1A switches from Bell Labs, from which the term "recent change memory" originated. With the introduction of various automation systems, the function of the RCMAC would recently be described as an organization of people in the phone company responsible for programming the service and features of phone service where service orders have failed to follow the automated process, investigate and resolve customer trouble reports possibly related to incorrect programming of service and features, and to support outside plant technicians repairing or installing a customer's phone service.

# RecentChangesCamp

**RecentChangesCamp** was an unconference focused on wikis, held from 2006 to 2012. It was named after the "recent changes" feature that is found in most wikis. RecentChangesCamp followed an Open Space model in having a program that was determined onsite by participants.

## History

RecentChangesCamp was conceived at WikiSym 2005 as a way to replicate online wiki collaboration in the face-to-face world, using Open Space Technology, which enables participants to create the agenda on the fly, guaranteeing that all issues that participants were willing to take responsibility for were worked on to the extent possible.

The first RecentChangesCamp was held February 3–5, 2006 in Portland, Oregon, United States, with 147 people in attendance. Participants included wiki inventor Ward Cunningham. Sponsors of the 2006 event were ICANNWiki, IBESI, OSDL, Socialtext, Atlassian and IBM.

The next RecentChangesCamp was also held in Portland, from February 2–4, 2007.

A few months later, another RecentChangesCamp was held in Montreal, from 18 to 20 May 2007. It was also called RoCoCoCamp, for *RencOntres sur la COllaboration, la Créativité et l'autOgestion* ("Meetings on Collaboration, Creativity and Self-Management"); the name was chosen to echo the "RCC" initials in "RecentChangesCamp", with more recognition of Montreal's French-speaking population. The theme of the event was "AccidentalLinking", a wiki pattern about surprising, serendipitous relationships between wiki writers and wiki pages. The event was held at the Société des Arts Technologiques (SAT) in downtown Montreal.

RecentChangesCamp 2008 took place May 9–11 in Palo Alto, California, United States, at the SocialText offices. The theme of the weekend was "Assume Good Faith", and the sponsors were AboutUs.org, Atlassian, Socialtext, Solseed, Wikia, and wikiHow.

Subsequent RecentChangesCamp events were:

* February 20–22, 2009, Portland, Oregon
* June 25–27, 2010, Montreal
* August 11, 2010, Canberra
* January 28–30, 2011, Canberra
* March 11–13, 2011, Boston
* January 20–22, 2012, Canberra

## Reception

Peter Heck of *Asimov's Science Fiction* wrote: "This is probably not the place for a reader unfamiliar with Bester to begin; that would be (for my money) either The Stars My Destination or a selection of his short stories including such classics as “Fondly Fahrenheit” and “The Men Who Murdered Mohammed.” But for those who know the major works and want as much Bester as they can get, this is just the thing."

Smallwood's hometown was Bristow, Oklahoma. She was the daughter of Edward Smallwood and Mahalia Angela (Robinette) Smallwood. She also had a paternal half sister and half brother. She earned the Miss Tulsa title and graduated from high school at age 16.

## Miss America 1926

At the time she competed for Miss America, Smallwood was a student at the Oklahoma College for Women. Her hobbies included swimming, dancing, and horseback riding, and she served as captain of her college hockey team.

Smallwood captured first place in both the bather's review and the evening gown contest. For the latter, she wore a pale blue velvet gown designed by Paul Nemzershe. The following evening, she was crowned Miss America 1926. Smallwood is noted as being the first self-identified Native American (Cherokee) to win the crown. Despite claiming Cherokee heritage, Smallwood and her family are not listed on the Dawes Rolls and were not Cherokee Nation tribal citizens.

Smallwood wore her long chestnut hair in two braided buns, unlike the bobbed flapper style that was popular at the time. Her measurements were 33-24-33, which also contrasted with the flat-chested style preferred by flappers. The *Tulsa World* considered Smallwood's win a victory against the nontraditional flappers.

During her year as Miss America, she became the poster girl for Meadows Washing Machines and Westinghouse Electric, in addition to many others. It was said she made approximately $100,000 during her year.

## Later life

Though Smallwood had originally planned to return to Oklahoma College for Women after her year as Miss America, she instead accepted an offer to tour the United States on the Orpheum Circuit for $1,500 a week.

Smallwood married oilman Thomas Gilcrease on September 3, 1928. They had a daughter, Des Cygne L'Amour Gilcrease, who was born on June 12, 1929, in Tulsa. The marriage ended in divorce on May 2, 1934, and the father was awarded sole custody of their daughter.

In 1936, Smallwood married George H. Bruce, president of Aladdin Petroleum Corporation.

She died on May 8, 1966, in Wichita, Kansas, aged 56.

# Yam Haus

**Yam Haus** is an American indie pop-rock band with member Lars Pruitt (vocals), Jake Felstow (drums), and Zach Beinlich (bass). The band is currently signed to Big Loud Rock under Big Loud Records.

## History

Yam Haus was formed in 2017 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Lars, Seth, and Zach all met at high school in Hudson, Wisconsin, and later met Jake in Minneapolis while he was attending college. The band had started as a daily YouTube vlog to start building a fanbase. The band's name “Yam Haus” stands for “You Are Me." Since their formation, Yam Haus have found themselves selling out shows across the Midwest, and they have been included on lineups such as First Avenue's "Best New Bands" of 2018; and the 2019 Cities 97.1 KTCZ. Basilica Block Party. In 2023, the band performed at TC Summerfest, where they opened for The Killers and Death Cab for Cutie

Their first single, "West Coast," was released April 13, 2018 as a precursor to their debut album, *Stargazer.* In the winter of 2019 the quartet released their EP called *Stargazer Sessions,* which features acoustic versions of a number of songs from their debut album and "Spoke Too Soon".

In preparation for their 2020 summer headlining tour the group released their second EP, *The Band Is Gonna Make It*, featuring their top track, "The Thrill" which was filmed at the popular theme park Valleyfair. The Band Is Gonna Make It Tour has been postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In the winter of 2020 Yam Haus released their first Christmas EP, *A Very Yam Haus Christmas*, featuring the track "Auld Lang Syne". The song gained recognition as the video featured footage, filmed by Jay Christiansen, from the George Floyd protests in Minneapolis.

In 2022, Yam Haus was announced as one of the contestants on the *American Song Contest* on NBC. The TV program pitted bands representing every state and territory in the nation against each other to find America's top band, with Yam Haus representing Minnesota with the song "Ready to Go".

In the summer of 2022, the band began recording tracks with mixer/producer Tony Hoffer which would become the bands’ next release, *Stupid & Famous.*

In March 2023, Yam Haus signed with Big Loud Rock, the alternative/rock imprint of Big Loud Records. In the Spring of 2023, the band embarked on a National Tour performing multiple dates with the band Landon Conrath followed by a Fall tour with the band Sawyer.

On August 11, 2023, the band released the final single ‘Shakin’ Yer Hips’ off their EP, *Stupid & Famous*, which was released on October 6, 2023

## Critical reception

| Source | Rating |
| Allmusic |  |

Allmusic editor John Bush wrote that Warwick's son and chief producer Damon Elliott's "production for this record is engaging and charming, right up to the minute digitally on the rhythm end, but with plenty of space within the tracks to echo the airy productions of Warwick's long-time producer, Burt Bacharach. Also, Elliott kept most of these versions piano-based and added a tight backing chorus that is virtually necessary for anyone familiar with the original "Walk On By" or "Anyone Who Had a Heart." Dionne Warwick's voice, however, hasn't aged as well as her contemporaries, and the record often resembles a tribute album whose subject only stops by occasionally (More often than not, the guests are featured more than Warwick herself)."

# Mike McCormick (pitcher)

**Michael Francis McCormick** (September 29, 1938  June 13, 2020) was an American baseball pitcher who played 16 seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB). He played for the New York/San Francisco Giants, Baltimore Orioles, Washington Senators, New York Yankees and Kansas City Royals from 1956 to 1971. He batted and threw left-handed and served primarily as a starting pitcher.

Signed by the Giants as a bonus baby, McCormick went directly to the major leagues and made his debut on September 3, 1956. After spending seven seasons with the organization, he was traded to the Baltimore Orioles and played two years there before being dealt again, this time to the Washington Senators. He returned to the Giants in 1967 and in his first season back with the team, he became the first pitcher in Giants franchise history to win the Cy Young Award (from 1956 to 1966, the Award was only given out to one pitcher rather than one from each of the two leagues). In the middle of the 1970 season, he was traded to the New York Yankees, who released him before the start of the next season. He then signed with the Kansas City Royals, with whom he played his last game on May 22, 1971.

## Early life

McCormick was born on September 29, 1938, in Pasadena, California. He studied at Mark Keppel High School in Alhambra, California. During this time, he played in American Legion Baseball, where he won 49 out of the 53 games he pitched, threw four no-hitters and struck out 26 batters in a game.

After he graduated from high school, he married Carolyn Koehler on August 2, 1956. Several weeks later, on August 31, the New York Giants signed him as an amateur free agent. Although McCormick was committed to attending college at the University of Southern California, the Giants offered him a signing bonus of $50,000 to forego university and join the organization. Because of the Bonus Rule, he could not be placed in the minor leagues for two years. As a result, he went directly to the major leagues and immediately began training with the first team the day after he signed.

## Professional career

McCormick made his major league debut for the Giants on September 3, 1956, at the age of 17, relieving Rubén Gómez in the ninth inning and retiring all three batters he faced in a 5–1 loss against the Philadelphia Phillies. He made two starts later in the season, and finished with a 0–1 win–loss record and a 9.45 earned run average (ERA) in 6+23 innings pitched.

McCormick threw a five-inning rain-shortened no-hitter against the Phillies on June 12, 1959, allowing one walk. The Phillies were able to secure 1 hit (and 1 run) in the bottom of the 6th inning, but the game was called because of the rain. As the 6th inning was never finished, the game statistics reverted to the completion of the last full inning, securing his no-hitter. However, due to a statistical rule change in 1991, no-hitters must last at least nine innings to count. As a result of the retroactive application of the new rule, this game and thirty-five others are no longer considered no-hitters.

He was acquired along with Stu Miller and John Orsino by the Orioles from the Giants for Jack Fisher, Billy Hoeft and Jimmie Coker on December 15, 1962.

At the end of the 1966 season, McCormick returned to the Giants in a trade that brought Cap Peterson and Bob Priddy to the Senators.

The 1967 season saw McCormick churn out one of the best statistical years in his career. He led the National League (NL) in wins with 22, and defeated every NL team other than the Giants that year. At the end of the season, McCormick won the Cy Young Award, garnering 90% of the vote and 18 out of 20 first place votes. In doing so, he became the first Giants pitcher to win the award, and was the only one to do so for 41 years until Tim Lincecum won it in 2008.

McCormick was described, apparently in good faith, as the player who hit the 500th home run by an MLB pitcher. However, it is unclear how this was calculated, in an age without baseball encyclopedias, and it appears to have been a considerable under-estimate. In contrast, the claim that he was responsible for giving up Hank Aaron's 500th home run is undoubtedly correct. Because of these two reports, he personalized his license plate with the words "Mr. 500".

## Personal life

After retiring from baseball, McCormick went on to pursue a career in securities business that he himself established over several MLB offseasons.

After three years in that field, he switched to office machines and copiers, working for Ricoh and then Danka, before retiring in 2002.

He served annually as a guest instructor for the San Francisco Giants during spring training. He also conducted the team's fantasy camps and occasionally commentated on Giants' games.

McCormick's Cy Young Award plaque was damaged in the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake after it fell off the wall of his Cupertino condominium. Although he was initially going to get the crack at the back repaired, he decided against it, noting how "it had more character now." He then housed it in a special room along with other memorabilia from his career.

## Family

McCormick had four children from his first marriage to Carolyn. He was married to wife Dierdre for 34 years. They had one daughter, Tara.

After retiring from Danka, they moved from Sunnyvale, California and settled in Pinehurst, North Carolina. At the O'Neal School in Southern Pines, North Carolina, McCormick assisted the school's baseball program and donated his baseball memorabilia to the school to help them with their auctions.

## Death

McCormick died on June 13, 2020, at his home in North Carolina. He was 81, and had been suffering from Parkinson's disease in the years leading up to his death.

# Mileston, Mississippi

**Mileston** is an unincorporated community located in Holmes County, Mississippi. Mileston is located on U.S. Highway 49E and Highway 12, approximately 6 miles (9.7 km) south of Tchula, approximately 4 miles (6.4 km) north of Thornton and approximately 3 miles (4.8 km) southeast of Marcella.

It is about 17 miles (27 km) north of Yazoo City. Mileston is located on the Canadian National Railway.

## History

Mileston is named for a former plantation. In 1940, the United States government purchased approximately ten-thousand acres of the former W. E. Jones estate as part of the Resettlement Administration. The land was split into seventy individual plots with an additional cooperative farm that included thirty plots. The community was home to a cotton gin, school, store, blacksmith shop, and medical clinic. W. Ralph Eubanks' father taught agronomy at the Mileston school.

A post office operated under the name Mileston from 1888 to 1953.

Much of the land in Mileston is owned by descendants of the original African American sharecroppers. In 2000, the West Holmes Community Development Organization and the state of Mississippi began operating a farmers' market in Mileston.

Marion Post Wolcott documented people and scenes from the Mileston plantation in 1939 as part of her work with the Farm Security Administration.

### Civil Rights Movement

Mileston was the epicenter of the Civil Rights Movement in Holmes County. In March 1963, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee began work in Holmes County after being contacted by residents of Mileston. The next month, fourteen African Americans from Mileston (known as the First Fourteen) traveled to Lexington and unsuccessfully registered to vote.

One of the first citizenship schools in Mississippi was held at the Mileston community center and many attendees became members of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party.

## Transportation

Amtrak’s *City of New Orleans*, which operates between New Orleans and Chicago, passes through the town on CN tracks, but makes no stop. The nearest station is located in Yazoo City, 22 miles (35 km) to the south.

## Education

Residents are in the Holmes County School District, and are assigned to Holmes County Central High School.

The school district previously operated a school in Mileston: previously Mileston Elementary School (K-6), later Mileston Middle School, which housed up to 130 students.

title: Mike White (baseball)

abstract: Joyner Michael White is an American former professional baseball player. Primarily an outfielder, White appeared in Major League Baseball for all or parts of three seasons (1963–65) for the Houston Colt.45s / Astros. He is the son of the late Jo-Jo White, a former MLB outfielder and coach. Mike White threw and batted right-handed, stood 5 feet 8 inches (1.73 m) tall and weighed 160 pounds (73 kg). White attended American River Junior College, Sacramento, California, and signed with the Cleveland Indians in 1958; his father was a Cleveland scout and coach that season. But White suffered a serious knee injury in a 1958 intrasquad game and his career was nearly ended before it began. Despite constant therapy, he ran with a pronounced limp. White was able to play 126 minor league games in 1959 and 127 more in 1960. During the latter season, he batted.304 with 132 hits for the Reading Indians of the Class A Eastern League. But the Indians released him on December 8, 1960. However, baseball was in the process of adding four new expansion teams during the 1961 and 1962 seasons. White kept his career going by signing with the Los Angeles Angels' minor league organization for 1961. He moved from third base to the outfield and later became a second baseman as well. After one year in the Angels' farm system, he was drafted by another expansion team, the Colt.45s, during the winter before their debut 1962 season. White batted.294 and.324 in successive seasons in the high minors before making his debut with the Colt.45s in September 1963. He collected two singles in seven at bats over three MLB games. White spent the entire 1964 campaign with Houston, primarily as a center fielder, and batted.271 with 76 hits in 89 games. But in 1965, White appeared in only eight games for the renamed Astros, mostly as a pinch hitter. He was hitless in nine at bats and returned to the minor leagues for the remainder of his career. He retired in 1969.

title: Miliou

abstract: Miliou is a village on the island of Cyprus, situated on the Laona plateau near the road from Paphos to Polis. Miliou is one of the smallest villages in Cyprus and has a population of about 60. It is also one of the greenest villages in the area, thanks to an abundant supply of spring water, surrounded by citrus groves, almond trees and vineyards. Miliou is one of the villages involved in the Laona Project, a non-profit organisation established to implement rural regeneration and ecotourism and to help introduce the concept of agrotourism to Cyprus. Although Miliou's limestone houses are examples of traditional rural architecture, more have been restored in the traditional Cypriot style through the Laona Project. The village is home to the restored monastery of 'Agii Anargyri, now used as a spa hotel. The monastery was built in 1649 and was among the first to be built on the island. It was founded by two brothers who cared for the sick and dying without payment, leading to the monastery acquiring its name, from the Greek meaning "without payment".

**Millie Munro** (born 1951) is a former netball player for the *Silver Ferns*, the New Zealand national netball team, who played for her country on 41 occasions, including at the 1975 and 1979 world championships.

## Early life

Marilyn Margaret (Millie) Munro was born on 4 September 1951. Learning sewing from her mother, and making her own clothes, she then studied design at the Wellington High School. She began her working life as a machinist at a clothing factory, playing netball in her spare time. In 1980, together with a friend, she set up a garment-producing company, originally working from home before moving into premises in Wellington and working with New Zealand designers.

## Netball career

Munro played netball at school and with the Wellington High School Old Girls team. She was selected for the Wellington Under-20 team in 1969 and 1970 and played in the Wellington senior side from 1971 to 1985. She was first selected for the national team in 1974, making her debut against Singapore in October of that year and forming a defensive pairing with Yvonne Willering. After touring to England she became part of the New Zealand team competing in the 1975 World Netball Championships, which were held in Auckland, New Zealand. The team finished third. In 1979 she played for the *Silver Ferns* in the world championships, which were held in Trinidad and Tobago. At that time there were no finals and the top ten teams played a Round-robin tournament that resulted in New Zealand, Australia and the hosts sharing the gold medal. The game against Trinidad and Tobago was controversial as Willering knocked over the local star Jean Pierre and the spectators became very aggressive. After the championships, Munro continued to play for the *Silver Ferns* until 1982.

title: Weitou dialect

abstract: The Weitou dialect is a dialect of Yue Chinese. It forms part of the Guan–Bao branch of Yuehai. It is spoken by older generations in Luohu and Futian districts in Shenzhen, and by those in the New Territories, Hong Kong. The Weitou dialect can be heard in Hong Kong TV dramas and movies, and is usually used to depict characters who come from walled villages. For example, in the 1992 movie Now You See Love, Now You Don't, the chief character, played by Chow Yun-fat who himself grew up in Lamma Island, consistently speaks the Weitou dialect. In a more general sense, Weitouhua can refer to any variety of Chinese spoken in the villages of Hong Kong, including Hakka and rural Yue dialects. In contrast, most Hong Kong residents speak standard Cantonese, while most Shenzhen residents speak Mandarin.

# Wellness tourism

**Wellness tourism** is voluntary travel to world-wide destinations for the purpose of promoting health and well-being through physical, psychological, or spiritual activities.

Wellness tourism aims to control stress levels and promote a healthy lifestyle. Specific types of wellness tourism include meditation and multiple types of yoga, such as classical or exercise-based, as well as treatments that include conventional, alternative, complementary, herbal, or homeopathic medicine. These types of wellness tourism account for the global market growth of the industry and the impact and issues that are currently within the industry or will occur in the future.

## Market

In 2021, the global wellness tourism industry was valued at $850.55 billion and is expected to grow to $2.1 trillion by 2030.

The market primarily includes services like lodging, transportation, activities, and food and drink. The lodging segment dominates these sectors as it accounted for about 23% of the revenue in 2022. Visiting a spa has become more prevalent among tourists and mass luxury brands such as Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, Aman Resorts, Oberoi Group, Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group, and Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company have rapidly incorporated house-brand spas into the leisure experience. Hotels may also gratify wellness tourists by housing third party spa operators, such as Clarins.

North America is the biggest market of wellness tourism across the globe with a revenue share of about 40 percent as of 2022. International tourism has the highest projected growth in the global industry with Europe as the second largest and the Asia Pacific as third. Extreme growth is expected from Asia, the Middle East/North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa and other developing countries that can offer unique ‘wellness’ experiences at much lower costs. Within the US $3.4 trillion spa and wellness economy, wellness tourism is estimated to total US$494 billion or 14.6 percent of all 2013 domestic and international tourism expenditures.

Wellness tourists are generally high-yield tourists, spending, on average, 130 percent more than the average tourist. In 2020, international wellness tourists spent 35% more than the average international tourist; domestic wellness tourists spend about 177% more than the average domestic tourist. Domestic wellness tourism is significantly larger than its international equivalent, representing 84 percent of wellness travel and 68 percent of expenditures (or $299 billion). International wellness tourism represents 16 percent of wellness travel and 32 percent of expenditures ($139 billion market). Wellness tourists are generally wealthier and more willing to spend greater amounts of money on these types of experiences and services.

The wellness tourism market includes primary and secondary wellness tourists. Primary wellness tourists travel entirely for wellness purposes while secondary wellness tourists engage in wellness-related activities as part of a trip. Secondary wellness tourists constitute the significant majority (92%) of total wellness tourism trips and expenditures (85 percent).

## Industry players

Wellness travelers may seek procedures or treatments using conventional, alternative, complementary, herbal, or homeopathic medicine. Advertisers may use the term wellness to promote a wide range of miscellaneous products and services. Players in wellness tourism may target healthy tourists who want to maintain and promote their health, or *cure guests* who want to recover from illness and seek healing of bodily ailments. Wellness tourism suffers from skepticism about the quality and effectiveness of the treatments and pursuits on offer.

Individual wellness practitioners and programs provide diverse services such as beauty treatments, exercise opportunities, including physical fitness and sports, healthy diet and weight management, health-related education, and relaxation and stress relief methods in luxurious, privately rent resort centers, small hotels or sections of larger hotels themed for the purpose all over the world.

Wellness travelers pursue these diverse services as a form of stress control. Popular relaxation methods used to control stress include spiritual tourism, including meditation and yoga, whether classical or as exercise; Spiritual tourism is a growing practice that has evolved from a religious pilgrimage into traveling to a sacred spot in hopes of finding a special feeling.

Cruise ships offering wellness programs including the use of on-board spas. Day spas and destination spas offer short-term, residential programs to address specific health concerns, reduce stress, or support lifestyle improvement.

## Destinations

Wellness tourism is now an identifiable niche market in at least 30 countries. Twenty countries accounted for 85 percent of global wellness tourism expenditures in 2012. The top five countries alone (United States, Germany, Japan, France, Austria) account for more than half the market (59 percent of expenditures).

### North America

As of 2014, the US is the largest wellness tourism market, with $180.7 billion in annual, combined international and domestic expenditures. The US is the top destination for inbound international wellness tourism, with 7.1 million international, inbound trips. Europe and high-income Asian countries are primary sources of wellness tourists traveling to the US.

Domestic tourism accounts for the majority (94 percent) of wellness trips in North America. Americans and Canadians receive—and take—few vacation days compared to workers in other countries making domestic, weekend trips the most popular wellness travel option.

### Europe

Europe is the second largest wellness tourism market, with $158.4 billion in annual, combined international and domestic expenditures; the region ranks highest in number of wellness trips with 216.2 million, compared to North America's 171.7 in 2013. Europeans have long believed in health benefits derived from mineral baths, saunas, thalassotherapy, and other natural and water-based treatments. Thermal resorts and hotels in Turkey and Hungary cater to wellness tourists, many of whom are subsidized by host countries such as Norway and Denmark seeking to mitigate costs of medical procedures for patients with chronic conditions requiring expensive surgeries.

### Asia-Pacific

The Asia-Pacific region ranks as the third largest with $6.4 billion in annual, combined international and domestic expenditures. Ancient regional wellness traditions include Indian Ayurveda, Yoga, traditional Chinese medicine, Hilot, and Thai massage.

### Latin America-Caribbean

Latin America and the Caribbean is the fourth largest region for wellness tourism in terms of both the number of trips and expenditures. Domestic tourism accounts for approximately 71 percent of wellness tourism trips, and 54 percent of wellness tourism expenditures.

### Middle East and Africa

The Middle East and Africa currently represent the smallest regions for wellness tourism. The Middle East boasts a long tradition of bathing associated with Turkish baths, and some older facilities are being modernized to cater to spa-seeking tourists. Tourism is experiencing growth in the region, prompting governments and private developers to establish new facilities.

In Africa, wellness tourism is concentrated in a few regions such as South Africa and the Maghreb, and it is predominantly driven by international tourists.

## Criticism

Wellness tourism advocates suggest that vacations improve physical well-being, happiness, and productivity, citing that health-oriented trips give travelers a fresh perspective and positively affect creativity, resilience, problem solving, and capacity for coping with stress. Yet it is difficult to quantify the health benefits since many of the wellness practices are unregulated, and the growing industry negatively impacts the destinations that travelers flock to.

### Quantifying Wellness

One study found that sectors of the wellness industry including healthy eating, physical wellness, and mental resilience had little to no statistical relationship with indicating better health. While these aspects of wellness are widely regarded to improve health outcomes, some believe that a higher level of spending in these areas does not actually improve health. In these sectors, the offerings of Wellness Tourism experiences do not have a tangible impact on the overall health of the consumer.

### Regulatory Issues

Many Wellness Tourism practices are unregulated, and due to the breadth of countries and organizations in the industry, it is difficult to maintain standards across experiences. Over 60% of retreats admitted to not engaging with regulations or certifications beside basic health and safety checks. In many instances, safety cannot be guaranteed during wellness practices. There are several instances where tourists on ayahuasca retreats have died while under the influence of unregulated drugs. There have also been instances of tourists dying in sweat lodges and incidents involving cults during meditation retreats. There is also little regulation when it comes to employee training, and many retreat employees are only trained internally by their superiors. With the lack of regulations, it is difficult for consumers to determine which retreats are safe.

### Environmental Impact

Another impact of tourism is the environmental impacts on the countries tourists flock to. As many wellness tourism destinations are developing countries, many of these countries are not equipped to handle the heavy influx of tourists surrounding the wellness industry. The draw of these locations is that they are remote: an escape from society. However, these remote locations lack the infrastructure to handle sewage, landfill, and enough natural resources to support tourists. In 2016, over 1,500 wellness retreat locations in India admitted to dumping sewage directly into rivers, and Tulum faced similar issues. Wellness tourism practices also destroy natural resources and habitats; with the rising fad of ayahuasca retreats, plants were depleted naturally and providers moved to farming them commercially, leading to deforestation to make room for fields.
