This study supports the proposal that both nature and cultural-based experiences contribute to sustainability insights by fostering meaning and self-discovery (i.e. The purpose of this psychological assessment of recent traveler experiences is to explore the distinct influence of the natural and cultural aspects of travel on traveler's understanding of sustainability, and whether these influences are because of particular affective experiences during travel. Yet, researchers have largely neglected culture-based aspects of ecotourism experiences, overlooking the role that experience with communities, people, and local culture have on visitor outcomes, thus bypassing other important sustainability-related outcomes (e.g. As visitor education gained attention, so too did research on how nature-based aspects of ecotourist experiences influence ex situ pro-environmental. Since ecotourism was popularized in the late 1980s, a focus in scholarly writings on the topic has been its dual in situ mandate of biodiversity conservation and community development. The new affiliation dimension now includes both social connections and tourists' connections with the natural environments, thus reframing tourist wellbeing conceptualisation beyond human-tohuman contact. It consists of the following dimensions: detachmentrecovery (DR) engagement (E) affiliation (A) meaning (M) and achievement (A). A new conceptual model re-organising hedonic and eudaimonic dimensions of tourists' psychological wellbeing is presented for consideration in future research. Ideas on re-conceptualising tourist wellbeing are proposed. Models that summarise these domains seemingly overlap, notably PERMA (positive emotions, engagement, relationships, meaning and achievement) model and DRAMMA (detachmentrecovery, autonomy, mastery, meaning, and affiliation) model. While there is agreement that tourist wellbeing is multidimensional in nature, it is unclear what specific dimensions, or psychological domains, underpin tourists' hedonic and eudaimonic wellbeing. The paper reexamines the conceptualisation of psychological tourist wellbeing. It is a significant study for policymakers, educators, administrators, and parents to focus on the strategies like co-curricular and extracurricular endeavors, especially promoting hobby clubs, socially-focused approaches, and mindful activities for adolescents that can be an effective way to boost their happiness.Research on tourists' eudaimonic and hedonic wellbeing has grown exponentially in the tourism literature. In boys, Leisure time, Friends, and the satisfaction of wants takes primacy over the family for predicting happiness. The analysis also showed significant differences in sex with girls considering leisure time and relationships (Friends and Family) to predict happiness. The findings thus indicated that adolescent’s happiness is an amalgam of hedonic and eudaimonic conceptions. The adolescents were asked to answer ‘happiness’ questions, and the content analysis was performed to analyze open-ended responses to the questions “What is happiness?” and “What makes you happy”? The most recurrent themes obtained were: leisure time, friends, family, the satisfaction of wants, helping others, sharing joyful moments, & Religiosity. A sample of 250 adolescents (Boys=122 and Girls=128) aged 13 to 18 were selected using purposive sampling from different schools situated in Punjab, India. Thus, the present study aimed to explore the factors influencing adolescents’ happiness and discuss future recommendations. Recently happiness has gained increased consideration from both researchers and decision-makers.
