DORKING, England, August 16, 2012-Kuoni and the UK's largest healthcare charity Nuffield Health have selected six individuals to journey to radically different parts of the world as part of a unique study called 'The Holiday Health Experiment'. The experiment aims to better understand the health impact of different types of holiday on the wellbeing of the body and mind.
2,845 Brits entered The Holiday Health Experiment from April to June 2012. Before, during and after the trips all six individuals will undergo a variety of medical and psychological tests to look at the effects 'everyday life' has on the body and mind. The data will then be compared to that gathered during and after the holiday. This experiment is the first of its kind conducted by a UK travel company in conjunction with a medical team consisting of doctors, physiologists and further assistance from Christine Webber, a leading psychotherapist.
