THE HAPPINESS ISSUE People who travel are happier than people who don’t What science says about travel and happiness: people who travel are happier than those who don’t In a world increasingly driven by work and routine, the pursuit of happiness may lead us to look to travel, with its promise of new experiences and escape from the daily grind. Does it work? Of course. Here’s what the research says: The more you travel, the happier you are In a 2022 study at the University of Alabama designed to examine the relationships between the beach, travel, and happiness, researchers found that people are significantly happier when actively anticipating or planning a vacation and that more is better, up to a point. Key findings included: 1. Planning a vacation makes you happy. “People who are planning a vacation are significantly happier than those who aren’t,” said Dr. Jameson Hayes, one of the researchers. 2. Beaches were the preferred vacation destination among the majority of respondents, with mountain vacations coming in second. “But the data shows that one’s happiness increases regardless of the type of destination.” 3. The more you travel, the happier you are – but only up to a point. “Respondents who traveled for pleasure 15-21 days per year reported the highest levels of happiness. Those traveling less than two weeks per year or more than three weeks per year, reported being less happy.” The excitement of the anticipation Research by The Let’s Go There Coalition and happiness researcher Michelle Gielan from the Institute for Applied Positive Research supports the idea that just planning travel increases happiness. The team found that 97% of survey respondents said having a trip planned makes them happier. Eighty two percent said a booked trip makes them “moderately” or “significantly” happier, and 71% reported feeling greater levels of energy knowing they had a trip planned in the next six months. Respondents strongly agreed with the statements “Simply knowing there was something to look forward to would bring me joy” (95%) and “Planning travel for some time in the next six months would bring me happiness” (80%). 9 | Spa Executive
