Abstract

Travel is widely regarded as a significant contributor to happiness. Although previous tourism research has examined the relationship between travel and happiness, most studies have primarily relied on subjective, post-travel evaluations to assess travelers' happiness. By contrast, this study adopts a longitudinal approach to capture the dynamic nature of happiness throughout the travel experience. The study uses a combination of methodologies, including a longitudinal questionnaire-based survey and heart rate variability measurements. It investigates the physiological and psychological states of happiness before, during, and after nature-based travel. By tracking changes across the travel continuum, this study develops an integrated model of travel happiness, emphasizing changes at each stage of the journey and providing insights into the link between travel and happiness.

自然旅游幸福感变化的纵向分析

旅行被广泛认为是幸福的重要贡献者。尽管之前的旅游研究已经考察了旅行与幸福感之间的关系，但大多数研究主要依赖于主观的、旅行后的评价来评估旅行者的幸福感。相比之下，本研究采用纵向方法来捕捉整个旅行体验中幸福的动态本质。该研究采用了多种方法，包括纵向问卷调查和心率变异性测量。它调查了在自然旅行之前、期间和之后的幸福生理和心理状态。通过跟踪旅行连续体的变化，本研究开发了一个旅行幸福的综合模型，强调旅行每个阶段的变化，并提供了旅行与幸福之间联系的见解。

期刊介绍： The Annals of Tourism Research is a scholarly journal that focuses on academic perspectives related to tourism. The journal defines tourism as a global economic activity that involves travel behavior, management and marketing activities of service industries catering to consumer demand, the effects of tourism on communities, and policy and governance at local, national, and international levels. While the journal aims to strike a balance between theory and application, its primary focus is on developing theoretical constructs that bridge the gap between business and the social and behavioral sciences. The disciplinary areas covered in the journal include, but are not limited to, service industries management, marketing science, consumer marketing, decision-making and behavior, business ethics, economics and forecasting, environment, geography and development, education and knowledge development, political science and administration, consumer-focused psychology, and anthropology and sociology.
