China is accelerating the implementation of the dual strategies of “Healthy China” and “Rural Revitalization”. Forest-based wellness meets the dual needs of national health and tourism and is a new form of leisure agriculture development. In recent years, China has introduced a series of policies to support the development of forest-based wellness, and some scholars have conducted relevant demonstration experiments. However, only some studies on industry trends combine the industry’s current status and consumer market demand to summarize industry trends that align with national conditions. This article studies the current status and existing problems of the construction and development of the forest-based wellness industry in China, summarizes the domestic forest-based wellness tourism trends, further elaborates on the market demand and industry development trends of forest-based wellness through a questionnaire survey, and summarizes the future development of forest-based wellness in China. The countermeasures are to promote the selection and identification of provincial forest health and wellness bases, promote forest-based wellness concepts and destinations through multiple channels, create a high-quality digital forest-based wellness environment, build a multi-level and diversified forest-based wellness service system, and unite experts from various fields for cross-border collaborative research.
