As the year of limited traveling is over, Marriott Bonvoy is back in India with its new global campaign named ‘Power of Travel.’ Marriot, being the International award-winning travel program, aims to encourage and inspire travelers. This new campaign by Marriott Bonvoy offers an endless experience regarding traveling.
They gently remind people that traveling holds power and can reshape the world. Marriott Bonvoy includes an extraordinary portfolio of 30 brands which adds richness to the experience of travelers. They offer luxury and exclusive benefits, promising the safety of travelers so that they can diversely experience their adventure.
In today’s era, traveling has become more relevant now due to a longer lockdown. This long period of stagnancy demands the traveling industry to offer the best offers. Indians are keenly expressing their interest in resuming the travel, but safety is their top-most priority.
It has been seen that domestic tourism is growing steadily, and a recent survey reveals that 57% of Indians express their interest in traveling internationally for vacations within three months. Everyone is seeking refuge in reconnecting with their families for leisurely pleasure and joy, which can only be achieved through traveling.
Marriott International has brought this campaign of ‘’Power of travel’’ which is a sort of inspiration for people who are eager to step out again to explore the world since the travel sentiments in India are now at some ease.
The Marriott Bonvoy’s are expanding their chain of hotels in India and offering a diverse range of benefits that members can avail of on their next holiday plan. Their new tagline ‘’Where can we take you?’’ evokes personal and spiritual destinations and physical destinations when people travel.

In celebration of International Women’s Day, ELE|NA proudly presents The Art of Graceful Change, a wellness retreat designed to empower women to embrace menopause with confidence and vitality. This transformative retreat will be held from June 5th–9th, 2025, at the serene OBLU XPERIENCE Ailafushi in the Maldives. The retreat offers a holistic and highly personalized approach to managing menopause—transforming it from a challenge into an opportunity for growth, renewal, and self-discovery.
For too long, menopause has been overlooked in the wellness space, leaving many women to navigate its complexities alone. Today, menopause—and its precursor, perimenopause (which can begin as early as a woman’s 30s)—is finally being recognized as a profound transition that deserves care, understanding, and tailored support. This retreat honors that shift, providing a nurturing environment where women can reconnect with themselves, embrace change with confidence, and thrive.
Guided by ELE|NA’s Wellness Your Way™ philosophy, this retreat is fully customizable, allowing guests to focus on what matters most to them—whether that’s deep relaxation, mindful movement, or simply taking time to recharge. Each participant will receive a DNA kit from Muhdo Health, offering invaluable insights into their genetic blueprint. These results will inform a hyper-personalized wellness plan, with tailored recommendations for exercise, nutrition, and holistic therapies designed to support their unique journey.
Crafted by world-renowned wellness experts, the program addresses the physical, emotional, and psychological shifts of menopause with empathy, expertise, and innovative solutions. Highlights include a customized movement plan, a masterclass in holistic healing, conscious nutrition guidance, and specialized face and body therapies designed specifically for menopause-related changes. Insightful discussion groups, neuro-linguistic programming, and post-retreat monthly Zoom meetups will foster a strong sense of connection and continued support long after the retreat ends.
This retreat is designed with accessibility in mind, offering a welcoming space for all women, regardless of their background or experience with wellness. It’s a place where wellness is for everyone, and where each woman’s needs and unique journey are respected and supported.
This exclusive retreat will be led by a team of distinguished specialists, each bringing their expertise to guide guests through this transformative journey:
Heidi Grimwood – Hotelier Maldives’ 2024 Wellness Personality of the Year and Global Spa Leader of the Year 2022, with over 25 years of experience in luxury spa and wellness, specializing in transformative wellness experiences.
Francesca Canzano-Franklin – Chinese Medicine practitioner, holistic facialist, and wellness educator, renowned for integrating Eastern wisdom with modern well-being.
Dr. Louise Oliver – NHS GP, Functional Breathing Practitioner, and Therapeutic Life Coach, specializing in breathwork for hormonal balance, stress management, and sleep optimization.
Suaad Ghadban – Award-winning fitness expert and movement specialist, with over 20 years of expertise in dance, sports, and women’s empowerment.
Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Indian Ocean, OBLU XPERIENCE Ailafushi offers the perfect sanctuary for renewal.
