Abstract
ABSTRACT Rural summer health tourism for the urban elderly (RSHTUE) is developing in China. RSHTUE tourists are predominantly urban elderly who stay in the countryside for a long time during the summer. This study first obtained the initial dimensions and item lists of the RSHTUE tourist well-being scale from the literature and interview data. Then, the expert panel method was applied to determine the initial scale. Exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were conducted to obtain an 8D 28-item RSHTUE tourist well-being scale. This scale can be used to support subsequent theoretical studies and guide the RSHTUE's development practice.
