Hong Kong, Singapore and Dubai-based luxury tour operator, Lightfoot Travel, announce the launch of the August collection in its online magazine, Travel by Lightfoot - lightfoottravel.com/inspiration

Wellness is one of the fastest growing sectors in the travel industry, and according to Susie Ellis, Chairman & CEO of the Global Wellness Institute, “[wellness] is becoming part of the definition of travel”.

Highlights include biking around Bhutan with travel writer Andrew Eames, following US adventurer Cassie De Pecol as she plans to visit all 196 countries in the world in record-breaking time, and meeting some of the healthiest people on Earth – the Vedda people from Sri Lanka - with Jose Jeuland. Jose, who photographed the last women divers of Jeju for last month's collection, captures the daily lives of the uber-healthy Vedda people in the wilds of Sri Lanka, whose daily diet consists of raw honey, fresh fruit and plenty of fresh air. This is the Paleo diet in its truest form, and city-dwellers would be envious of the results.

Tara Stiles, yoga instructor to the rich-and-famous, also shares her tips on how to stay healthy when travelling, a conundrum that any seasoned traveller is regularly faced with.

In addition to the articles written by Lightfoot's contributors, the online magazine features general travel-related content that is constantly being refreshed. New this month is Lightfoot's pick of Asia's Chicest Spas, a round-up of hotel gyms with incredible views and an insight into the Singapore-based health food company that is giving displaced Shan women from Myanmar a new lease of life.

The content has been expertly curated by Singapore-based Claire Turrell, who has worked with Harper's BAZAAR in Singapore, VIVA in Dubai and New Woman in the UK. Claire seeks out the most talented travel writers, photographers, adventurers and conservationists from around the world, bringing them on board as Storytellers, using their diverse and eclectic knowledge to bring real depth to the magazine. The magazine is further enhanced by content provided by Lightfoot Travel's own team of Travel Designers who are real specialists in the areas they sell.

If you have amazing travel experiences and jaw dropping photographs that you would like to share, please email claire@lightfoottravel.com. The themes for the upcoming months are as follows:

September: Fashion & Design │ October: Photography & Technology │ November: Romantic & Honeymoons │ December: Winter Sports
