Under the theme of Well Packed, the content hub features video and articles including a bespoke travel and wellness guide, called “The Jet Lag Bible,” which serves inspiring and informative content essential to the lifestyle of the contemporary, mindful traveller.  

 

The launch video, which was shot in Hong Kong and Thailand, and takes viewers on a visual journey demonstrating how three passionate individuals, whose careers involve frequent travel, are able to maintain their healthy and active lifestyles. Photographer, Gregory Woodman and founders of women’s lifestyle clothing line, ADAY, Nina Faulhaber and Meg He, all portray the symbiotic relationship between wellness and travel that translates effortlessly through their personal experiences.

 

Shot in Hong Kong and Thailand with hotel partners Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong and Six Senses Yao Noi in Phuket, each location provides the perfect setting to enhance the message of the video with an emphasis on integrating wellness into every aspect of their guests’ stay and beyond.

 

“We hope to inspire travellers to honor their wellbeing when they travel,” explains Robecta Ma, Vice President of Marketing, Americas, Cathay Pacific. “You take yourself with you wherever you go, and your mental and physical wellness should not have to be compromised. This creative partnership with Furthermore from Equinox highlights that a holistic approach is possible, regardless of schedules and time zones.”
