#A01 Implementation Integrity Gaps in Global Wellness & Spiritual Tourism Ecosystems

This paper examines recurring implementation integrity gaps across the global wellness and spiritual tourism sector. Drawing on documented cases, regulatory observations, industry reporting, and destination-level evidence, it identifies six recurring dimensions of implementation integrity: practitioner, operational, cultural, labour, sustainability, and accountability integrity. The paper introduces the Wellness & Spiritual Tourism Integrity Framework (WSTIF) as an observational structure for analysing how integrity-related challenges emerge across diverse wellness and spiritual tourism contexts. The study does not evaluate destinations or operators but explores structural patterns affecting implementation, governance, transparency, and sector development.
