Abstract

The paper merges two lines of research, into tourism and the economics of happiness. It enlarge and further investigates the Dunlap and Heffernan hypothesis. It tests for the relationship between appreciative/consumptive activities and life satisfaction. It shows that experiencing nature rather than exploiting it contribute to tourists’ well-being. It confirms that the type of tourist one belongs to is a strong distinguishing factor.
