Abstract
People who travel in today's world face mental exhaustion because they need to stay connected to digital devices and social media and they have to maintain their online activities. The rise of Digital Detox Tourism as a holiday trend shows that travelers choose to break their connection with smartphones and internet access and digital platforms to experience nature and their personal self and genuine life moments. This paper investigates digital detox tourism as a travel behavior phenomenon that exists in contemporary travel patterns. The research examines how digital detox programs affect tourist well-being and satisfaction and emotional recovery and destination selection and return visit probabilities. The study analyzes secondary research which includes academic publications and tourism studies and wellness research and industry publications. The research demonstrates that digital detox tourism has evolved into a growing niche which functions as an effective movement that supports environmentally responsible travel through mindful travel practices. The study demonstrates that tourism destinations and providers can create substantial value by developing detox-oriented travel packages which deliver experiences of genuine peace and authentic presence and mental peace.
