EVENTS AS THERAPY: Connecting the liminal and everyday field to enhance mental wellness in urban destinations
A shift in the attraction of urban tourism from city landscape to city life is observed, as events become key place-makers. Responding to recent calls for urban wellness tourism that benefits locals and tourists alike, we conceptualize events as therapy in urban destinations based on Lewin's field theory. Qualitative interviews at three community events targeting at young cohorts were conducted. Results indicate that the therapeutic effects of these events can emerge in three interlinked fields: event, everyday life, and participants' psychology. Results emphasize how the everyday nature of events encourages reconnection with urban life as both the process and result of events as therapy. Considering those results, we conclude by discussing the novel role of events in improving mental wellness.
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.
