With the emergence of wellness as a significant lifestyle consideration, its influence on various life aspects, including travel, is gaining attention. This study aims to explore the intricate relationship between social wellness, physiological needs, safety‐security needs, self‐actualization needs, and travel intention. Utilizing partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS‐SEM), the research examined these connections within a sample of 317 respondents. Findings revealed that social wellness significantly influence physiological needs, which in turn, have a strong positive effect on safety‐security needs, self‐actualization needs, and travel intention. However, safety‐security needs were not found to directly impact travel intention. Income was the only control variable affecting travel intention, with gender, age, and timing of last travel showing no significant influence. These insights carry valuable theoretical contributions, enriching the understanding of wellness‐driven travel motivation and offering practical implications for service providers, marketers, and policymakers in the travel and tourism industry.

健康与旅行癖：社交健康如何影响旅行动机


随着健康成为一种重要的生活方式考虑因素，它对包括旅行在内的各个生活方面的影响越来越受到关注。本研究旨在探讨社会健康、生理需求、安全保障需求、自我实现需求和旅行意图之间的复杂关系。该研究利用偏最小二乘结构方程模型 (PLS-SEM)，在 317 名受访者的样本中检验了这些联系。研究结果显示，社交健康显着影响生理需求，进而对安全保障需求、自我实现需求和旅行意愿产生强烈的积极影响。然而，安全保障需求并未直接影响旅行意愿。收入是影响出行意愿的唯一控制变量，性别、年龄和上次出行时间没有显着影响。这些见解具有宝贵的理论贡献，丰富了对健康驱动的旅行动机的理解，并为旅行和旅游业的服务提供商、营销人员和政策制定者提供了实际意义。
