Summary:

Abstract: "We want to understand from different angles, segments, and disciplines this fundamental relationship between tourism, happiness, and life quality. Despite the overall beneficial effects of travel on happiness levels, tourism is not an activity with solely positive implications on peoples' lives and therefore this book will help readers understand how happiness manifests through tourism and how it can be expanded to different tourism actors, such as tourists, workers, and communities"-- [Provided by publisher]
