Abstract: This study adopts a holistic and systematic perspective to construct a theoretical framework for the supply system of wellness tourism destinations. Based on a review of domestic and international research on wellness tourism supply, this paper summarizes the core components of the supply system and proposes the four-dimensional integrated model of Nature-Culture-Sports-Longevity (NCLS). The connotation of the NCLS model can be illustrated through the practice of Anhui Province: high-quality natural ecosystems provide the material foundation for wellness tourism development; Huizhou culture endows tourism products with profound cultural connotations and spiritual experiences; longevity-oriented wellness resources form differentiated competitiveness and attract tourists seeking health preservation; and diverse sports activities further enhance the effectiveness of wellness, promoting the physical and psychological coordination of tourists. The four dimensions interact synergistically and organically, jointly forming a destination supply system centered on comprehensive wellness experiences. This study addresses the limitations of existing research that often focus on single factors and overemphasize the demand side. It establishes a wellness tourism supply system more suitable for China’s local context, and can provide theoretical references and practical insights for the supply-side reform of wellness tourism destinations.
