摘要

The importance of wellbeing is being increasingly recognised as a crucial aspect of tourism, both nationally and internationally. However, wellbeing per se is a complex phenomenon concerning an objective element at a destination level and subjective element in terms of health effect and other personal goals. In the last decade, there has been a proliferation of wellbeing research yet the debate about how it should be defined remains unresolved giving rise to the development and use of broad and blurry definitions.
