Abstract
ABSTRACT In our fast-paced world, work-related stress takes a toll on health and well-being. To address this, individuals seek respite through vacations. Employing a mixed-methods approach, data were collected from 422 participants through on-site and online surveys, analyzing engagement in activities and their influence on psychological detachment, relaxation, control, and mastery. Factor analysis revealed seven distinct vacation dimensions – outdoor activities, cultural activities, entertainment, social activity, nature recreation, shopping and light recreation. Findings revealed that engagement in entertainment, light recreation, social, and cultural activities positively affect psychological detachment. Outdoor activities, nature recreation, and entertainment enhance relaxation. Light recreation and shopping boost visitors’ sense of control, while social activities promote mastery. This research highlights the importance of tailored vacation activities for enhancing recovery and overall well-being. It offers insights for researchers and practitioners alike, emphasizing the need to meet tourists’ recovery needs for enriched vacation experiences and enhanced well-being.
