The 'positive tourism' linkage: a study of motivations, flow and benefits of spa experiences in Southeast Asia
Conference Publication ResearchOnline@JCUAbstract
[Extract] Positive psychology is a new field of study that focuses on human thriving. Even though tourism businesses attempt to be profitable through serving happiness, satisfaction and wellness, it is surprising that the relationship between tourism and human thriving remains under-researched (Smith & Kelly, 2006a). One of the facets of wellbeing in the positive psychology field that has also received attention among tourism scholars is wellness. The wellness-tourism interface has long historical roots, but recent studies treat wellness tourism ostensibly as a new form of activity.
