Abstract

Quality-of-life (QoL) and well-being research in tourism have significantly increased over the past two decades and today presents one of the fastest expanding and inviting areas of research. This study critically examines the QoL and well-being research progress through bibliometric and qualitative thematic analyses. The paper provides a comprehensive overview of the existing perspectives, and conceptual and operational characteristics of this research stream, and further identifies emerging themes and new research directions. While the impact of tourism development on the QoL of residents/communities, tourists, and industry providers is well understood, there is a lack of empirical research focusing on the inclusion and infusion of QoL indicators to measure performance, facilitate tourism policy and governance, and guide destination management. Designing for QoL is discussed as an encompassing approach to destination development that will promote QoL for all stakeholders involved.
生活质量:对研究进展的严格审查
过去二十年来,旅游业中的生活质量(QoL)和幸福感研究显著增加,如今已成为扩展最快、最具吸引力的研究领域之一。本研究通过文献计量和定性专题分析,对生活质量和幸福感研究进展进行了批判性审视。论文全面概述了这一研究流派的现有观点、概念和操作特点,并进一步确定了新兴主题和新的研究方向。虽然旅游业发展对居民/社区、游客和行业提供者的 QoL 的影响已广为人知,但仍缺乏实证研究,重点关注 QoL 指标的纳入和注入,以衡量绩效,促进旅游政策和治理,并指导目的地管理。本文讨论了 "为游客的生活质量而设计 "这一目的地发展的综合方法,它将促进所有利益相关者的生活质量。
