Vacation (after-) effects on employee health and well-being, and the role of vacation activities, experiences and sleep (2012, background): “The baseline measure of H&W (Pre) was scheduled 2 weeks prior to vacation, because measurements immediately before vacation may be biased either looking forward to vacation (Gilbert and Abdullah 2002; Nawijn et al. 2010) and/or pre-vacation work stress (DeFrank et al.”
Hedonic and Eudaimonic Experiences among Wellness Tourists: An exploratory enquiry (2010, background): “…Evans, & Morgan, 2001; Wilks, Pendergast, & Leggat, 2006; Wilson, 1995), but there has been little evidence of an interest in more positive outcomes associated with tourism, and a lack of empirical research examining the relationship between tourism and well-being (Gilbert & Abdullah, 2002).”
Customer experience, well-being, and loyalty in the spa hotel context: integrating the top-down & bottom-up theories of well-being (2019, background): “Tourist experience has not only been shown to increase positive emotion but also have an impact on well-being (Gilbert & Abdullah, 2002; Morgan, Pritchard, & Sedgley, 2015; Smith & Diekmann, 2017).”
Determinants of Daily Happiness on Vacation (2011, background): “Anticipation of a holiday trip leads to higher feelings of happiness (Gilbert and Abdullah 2002; Hagger and Murray 2009; Nawijn et al. 2010), while posttrip, tourists experience less stress and are in generally better health, although these positive effects are shortlived (De Bloom et al. 2009).”
Resident Attitudes to Tourism and Their Effect on Subjective Well-Being (2012, background): “Whereas only a few studies had appeared in academic journals until the mid-2000s (Gilbert and Abdullah 2002, 2004; Hoopes and Lounsbury 1989; Lounsbury and Hoopes 1986; Milman 1998; Steyn, Saayman, and Nienaber 2004), a large number of journal papers were published recently (Corvo 2010; De Bloom et…”
Happiness Through Vacationing: Just a Temporary Boost or Long-Term Benefits? (2011, background): “Anticipation boosts vacationers’ pre-trip happiness ( Gilbert and Abdullah 2002; Hagger and Murray 2009); inter-trip, vacationers are generally in good spirits (De Bloom et al. 2010; Nawijn 2010) and they benefit afterwards, if their holiday was stress-free (Nawijn et al. 2010).”
A mindful shift: an opportunity for mindfulness-driven tourism in a post-pandemic world (2020, background): “The anticipation of holidays or even the reflection on how they went may, in fact, be a more enjoyable and, therefore, happier experience, than the holidays themselves (Gilbert & Abdullah, 2002).”
Tourist destination perception and well-being (2017, background): “Subjective well-being has been defined in ethical, theological, political, economic, and psychological terms, resulting in several categories used as descriptors, including happiness, quality of life, and life satisfaction (Gilbert and Abdullah, 2002).”
Tourism Experiences as a Stress Reliever (2016, background): “In summary, positive effects of tourism experiences on perceived health and wellness have been supported by multiple studies (Gilbert and Abdullah 2002, 2004; Nawijn et al. 2013; Neal et al. 1999; Neal et al. 2007; Sirgy et al. 2011).”
