Abstract

Meditation has largely been associated with its religious connotation in the tourism literature. The present research steers away from that tradition to focus on meditative practices as a leisure activity. It addresses the literature void by conducting a survey study on meditation tourists who participated in a 7-day meditation excursion. Based on attention restoration theory and the two-factor theory of emotion, this research contributes to the literature by underscoring a theoretical synthesis of the transformative potential of meditation on tourists' psychological and emotional wellness. It moves beyond the religiously grounded meditation retreat to offer a more generalizable travel phenomenon for body–soul self-improvement. It opens a new avenue for meditation travel by attention restoration through an arousal–cognition perspective. This wellness-related tourism has great potential to gain further popularity for those who have suffered mental and physical stress from the pandemic and other life adversities.

通过冥想朝圣来治愈心灵和灵魂:理解娱乐专业化、注意力恢复和情绪调节
在旅游文献中,冥想在很大程度上与其宗教内涵联系在一起。目前的研究偏离了这一传统,将注意力集中在作为休闲活动的冥想练习上。通过对参加为期7天的冥想旅行的冥想游客进行调查研究,解决了文献空白。本研究基于注意力恢复理论和情绪双因素理论,强调了冥想对游客心理和情绪健康的转化潜力的理论综合,为文献做出了贡献。它超越了以宗教为基础的冥想静修,为身体和灵魂的自我提升提供了一种更普遍的旅行现象。从觉醒认知的角度出发,为注意力恢复冥想旅行开辟了一条新的途径。这种与健康相关的旅游有很大的潜力,可以进一步普及那些因大流行和其他生活逆境而遭受精神和身体压力的人。
