USA. Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) has launched the “˜Healthy + Happy’ campaign, offering nutritious culinary options and healthy-living amenities to passengers.
“The inability to eat healthy and maintain one’s normal wellness routine ranks among the highest stresses that airport travellers face,” said DFW Executive Vice President of Revenue Management Ken Buchanan. “Our “˜Healthy + Happy’ health and wellness campaign allows DFW customers unique and easily accessible options to unwind, relax, alleviate stress, and maintain a healthy lifestyle every time they travel through DFW.”
