A new initiative backed by research positions Sweden as the world’s first travel destination that doctors can prescribe for health benefits. Prompted by a YouGov survey showing nearly two-thirds would welcome nature-based prescriptions, Sweden’s abundant natural and cultural assets are now being promoted as part of preventive healthcare. Activities like forest walks, saunas, and cultural immersion are among those recommended.
Visit Sweden has created a guide for doctors to support such conversations, aligning with WHO findings on the health impact of nature and social interaction.
