This study examined the relationship between tourism behavior and general happiness. The researchers found that: 1) Traveling longer distances and taking more long-haul trips had a small but statistically significant positive correlation with general happiness. 2) Having freedom in destination choice was also positively correlated with happiness, while feeling limited in choices was negatively correlated. 3) The researchers concluded that reducing long-haul travel to decrease environmental impact may not necessarily decrease general happiness, as travel to remote locations is not essential for happiness. Limiting travel could impact happiness in both directions, depending on individual circumstances.
