Abstract
Sleep is one of the most important but relatively weak research fields in camping tourism. Utilizing Latent Dirichlet Allocation, Social Network Analysis, and Sentiment Analysis, this study collected tweet data to construct a framework for camping sleep. The results indicate that seven major topics make up the camping sleep framework, with two relationship paths focusing on pro pro-nature experience as its cornerstone. For one thing, the connection with nature in camping alters the sleep environment or individual physical condition, and thus campers' sleep quality requires more support systems. For another, sleep forms a part of the camping experience which is deeply embedded in nature's connection and brings positive benefits. The most surprising finding is that pro nature experience makes tourists have positive emotions even though they sleep badly at night. Our results can provide insight into well-being experiences in tourism, especially for improving individuals' healthy lifestyles.
Management implications
1.
Enhance the sleeping system for campers by improving camping facilities and creating an optimal sleeping environment.
2.
Increase eco-friendly activities to bring campers closer to nature and enrich their overall camping experience.
3.
Encourage a healthy lifestyle by integrating health-focused activities into the camping experience to promote awareness of the importance of maintaining good sleep habits.
4.
Provide additional emotional support services such as psychological counseling or meditation courses to ensure campers have a positive overall sleep experience.
5.
Integrate local cultural and environmental features into camping projects considering sleep as a new focal point and designing camping experiences that reflect local culture.
