In the transformation age, individuals pursue experiences that offer awe-inducing moments and long-lasting transformation. Grounded in a psychological and phenomenological approach, this research aims to map out the holistic process a person undergoes in transformative tourism experiences by analysing some of the world's most transformational settings, namely, outer space, natural environments, and psychedelic journeys. The experiences of astronauts, econauts, and psychonauts are explored and synthesised into a multi-phasic transformative experience process model from initiation to integration - through the stages of the varying self. This study contributes novel theoretical and practical insights to tourism on how to design transformative offers and guide experiences to integration for a long-lasting positive impact on an individual's life.
