Özet
The objectives of the present study were to determine the associations of eudaimonic well-being indicators, including meaning-in-life dimensions, life satisfaction, and authenticity scores, with memorable tourism experiences (MTEs) and to examine the unique contributions of these variables in MTEs. A total of 605 participants (265 women, 340 men) with a mean age of 33.42 (SD = 6.75) years participated in this study. The Memorable Tourism Experience Scale, the Meaning in Life Questionnaire, the Satisfaction with Life Scale, and the Authenticity Scale were administered. Regression analysis findings revealed that all the variables explained 87% of the total variance in MTEs; nevertheless, only life satisfaction and search for meaning scores accounted for the most significant contributions. These findings demonstrate that tourists who lack meaning in their lives and report a lower degree of life satisfaction are less likely to create and collect positive memories during their visits. Thus, practitioners should be more aware of the psychological needs of their guests and offer more eudaimonic opportunities that can become positive memories.
