In a bid to attract tourists and to help Delhiites rejuvenate after a hard day at work, the Delhi Tourism and Transportation Development Corporation Limited (DTTDC) will soon come up with a luxurious 'wellness and recreational club'.

Located over a sprawling 5.27 acres and surrounded by lush greens on three sides near the Garden of Five Senses in south Delhi, the new venture will have "world-class facilities".

This wellness and recreational club would be akin to a spa based on traditional Indian medicine and alternative therapy such as Ayurveda, Yoga, Unani, Sidha, homeopathy, naturopathy, detox among others. 

In addition to this, therapies and services such as acupressure, acupuncture, Reiki, lifestyle and stress management counselling, would also be provided at this club.

For this purpose, the corporation has issued a Request for Qualification (RFQ) asking firms to apply latest by 24 June.

According to officials, this project would be executed through a Public Private Partnership on a revenue sharing model. The officials added that the need for such a wellness and recreational club was felt a long time back and is expected to boost tourism in the city.

"Chronic diseases and lifestyle disorders such as diabetes, heart diseases, respiratory diseases and obesity are rapidly affecting people over the past few years. Also, with increasing urbanisation, higher incidence of stress-related disorders is being reported."
