My research interests are related to well-being tourism research. Previously, I have analyzed well-being outcomes of tourism among disadvantaged customer groups in the context of social tourism, as well as motivational factors and service preferences of wellness tourists. Currently, I am working on two research projects that examine, respectively, the outcomes and potential of transformative tourism and regenerative nature tourism.
