Air India announced the launch of non-stop flights between Delhi and Manila, the capital city of the Philippines, starting 1 October 2025. With the launch of this new route, Air India becomes the only carrier to operate non-stop flights between India and the Philippines, offering seamless connectivity through its Delhi hub and boosting tourism, trade, and cultural exchanges between the two countries.

Air India’s service to Manila will operate five days a week—on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays—using the airline’s Airbus A321neo aircraft, featuring a three-class cabin configuration that offers the choice of Business Class, Premium Economy Class, and Economy Class to travellers.

The Philippines recently introduced visa-free entry for Indian tourists for up to 14 days, significantly enhancing accessibility for Indians eager to visit the white-sand beaches of Boracay, the stunning landscapes of Palawan, the historical landmarks in Cebu, and more.

Campbell Wilson, Chief Executive Officer & Managing Director, Air India, said, “The introduction of our Delhi-Manila route is yet another step in our mission to connect India with more of the world, non-stop. As outbound travel from India grows at an unprecedented pace, with Indian tourists ranking among the highest spenders globally, the new entry rules for Indian tourists are a shot in the arm to boost tourism to the Philippines. We are happy to facilitate new opportunities for cultural exchange and economic collaboration between the two nations while bringing the new Air India to more travellers around the world.”

With its 7,000+ islands and a dynamic blend of cultural and modern attractions, the Philippines holds great tourism potential for Indian travellers. Air India’s new route also supports the growing bilateral trade between India and the Philippines, which reached USD 3.53 billion in 2023-24, nearly doubling from USD 1.89 billion in 2015-16, according to the Embassy of India in Manila.

Air India’s flight schedule to Manila ensures not only non-stop connectivity from India but also seamless, one-stop connectivity from Europe via Delhi.

Bookings for Air India’s flights between Delhi and Manila are now open on all channels, including Air India’s website, mobile app, airport ticketing offices, contact centres, and through all travel agents.

The story that first took shape along the Nile has now found its next expression in the lush, tropical expanse of Langkawi. This shift marks a pivotal moment in the evolution of what many are now calling conscious travel. What began quietly in the peaceful atmosphere of Aswan has now emerged as a global vision. With the launch of the Zen Wellness Resort Langkawi, a bold new chapter in regenerative tourism is being written—this time on a 69-acre rainforest sanctuary overlooking the Andaman Sea.

Rooted in the Stillness of Aswan
The origins of Zen Wellness go back to Aswan, a place where the stark contrast of desert and river creates a stillness rare in today’s world. It was in this timeless setting that the idea took hold—not just of wellness as a service, but as an experience, a place to breathe deeply, to reflect, and to begin again. Far from being a trendy wellness brand, Zen Wellness shaped itself as a space of genuine healing—not through indulgence, but through intentional living.

More than just a spa or clinic, it functioned as a hybrid of retreat and sanctuary, offering visitors a rare opportunity to reconnect with both body and spirit.
Crossing Continents: A New Beginning in Southeast Asia
The transition to Langkawi is not seen as a conclusion, but a natural expansion. The foundational wellness philosophy born in Aswan is being carefully translated into a new context, shaped by different surroundings but guided by the same intent. The Langkawi retreat has been thoughtfully developed in collaboration with regional partners, aiming to recalibrate rather than pamper.
This destination was built with regenerative hospitality in mind—where eco-conscious design meets immersive healing. Guests will find a different kind of luxury here: one rooted in science, soul, and sustainability.
It also draws upon Malaysia’s growing medical tourism appeal, weaving that strength into an integrated wellness journey tailored for international visitors seeking both rejuvenation and purpose.
Wellness Reimagined: Philosophy in Daily Life
What sets this resort apart is its emphasis on immersion, not indulgence. The guest experience isn’t focused on temporary relaxation, but on lasting transformation. Every detail, from the breathwork at sunrise to nutrient-rich meals crafted with intention, is designed to mirror nature’s rhythm.
Here, healing is embedded into every inch of the environment—woven into the landscape, infused into the rituals, and expressed through purposeful design choices. The resort’s architecture, daily practices, and even its culinary approach all reflect a commitment to mind-body harmony.
Langkawi’s Role in the Wellness Map
With its sweeping coastal views, rainforest trails, and spiritual calm, Langkawi was a natural choice for this next phase. Its increasing reputation as a medical tourism hub only added to its appeal. For Zen Wellness, this island offered more than a stunning location—it provided a platform for the kind of holistic travel experiences the brand aims to champion.
Langkawi now stands as a model for how destinations can be developed around environmental stewardship, cultural respect, and personal renewal—a template that many in the travel world are watching closely.
Back to the Source: Egypt’s Continuing Role
Even as attention turns to Southeast Asia, Egypt remains a vital anchor in this global journey. Plans are already in motion for a six-month Wellness Roadshow, traveling through a network of Egyptian locations: Almaza Bay, Siwa, Fayoum, Dakhla, Marsa Alam, and Aswan.
This traveling initiative aims to take the core philosophy of Zen Wellness out of the retreat setting and into the broader community. The roadshow is expected to include:
Wellness tastings showcasing local ingredients
Interactive demonstrations on integrative health practices
Educational sessions focused on daily, accessible well-being
The intent is to make wellness inclusive, everyday, and deeply connected to local culture and landscapes.
Aswan: The Heart That Keeps Beating
The original Zen Wellness Clinic in Aswan remains not only open but central to the brand’s mission. It continues to serve as a permanent sanctuary for those seeking stillness and self-discovery. Nearby, a Creative Hub has recently emerged—designed to bring the principles of wellness into the professional world. With coworking spaces built around ideas of calm, community, and clarity, it challenges traditional ideas of productivity, inviting a more mindful way to work and live.
A Global Shift in Travel Philosophy
Experts in both travel and health sectors are calling this movement a transformational shift. It reflects a growing desire among travelers not just for getaways, but for journeys with depth and intention. Instead of seeking luxury for luxury’s sake, people are now searching for experiences that restore, educate, and inspire.
This movement’s expansion is expected to have profound ripple effects:
Both Malaysia and Egypt are poised to rise as leading wellness destinations
Regenerative hospitality is becoming a defining standard in eco-tourism
Travelers are increasingly prioritizing mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being
Medical tourism is evolving to include holistic, culturally-informed healing
Not a Destination, But a Beginning
While the Langkawi resort is undeniably a milestone, insiders urge that it be seen not as a final point, but as an entryway. It opens the door to a new way of seeing the world—where travel becomes a vehicle for healing, connection, and renewal. From the ancient waters of the Nile to the misty forests above the Andaman Sea, the essence of this movement flows steadily: healing that honors both people and place.

One day however a small line of blind text by the name of Lorem Ipsum decided to leave for the far World of Grammar. The Big Oxmox advised her not to do so.

When she reached the first hills of the Italic Mountains.

A wonderful serenity has taken possession of my entire soul, like these sweet mornings of spring which I enjoy with my whole heart. I am alone, and feel the charm of existence in this spot, which was created for the bliss of souls like mine. I am so happy, my dear friend, so absorbed in the exquisite.

For the happiest life, days should be rigorously planned, nights left open to chance.

I should be incapable of drawing a single stroke at the present moment; and yet I feel that I never was a greater artist than now. When, while the lovely valley teems with vapour around me, and the meridian sun strikes the upper surface of the impenetrable foliage of my trees, and but a few stray gleams steal into the inner sanctuary, I throw myself down among the tall grass by the trickling stream; and, as I lie close to the earth, a thousand unknown plants are noticed by me.

In a free hour, when our power of choice is untrammelled and when nothing prevents our being able to do what we like best, every pleasure is to be welcomed and every pain avoided. But in certain circumstances and owing to the claims of duty or the obligations of business it will frequently occur that pleasures have to be repudiated and annoyances accepted. The wise man therefore always holds in these matters.

It wasn’t a dream. His room, a proper human room although a little too small, lay peacefully between its four familiar walls. A collection of textile samples lay spread out on the table – Samsa was a travelling salesman – and above it there hung a picture that he had recently cut out of an illustrated magazine and housed in a nice, gilded frame.
