Abstract

This article extends earlier research regarding the relationships between senior travelers' participation in activities while on vacation, their overall satisfaction with their travel experiences, and their psychological well-being. A path model was developed to depict the direct and indirect relationships between these variables by using a sample of senior tourists traveling on North American escorted tour itineraries. Whereas the direct effect accounted for 98% of the relationships between the senior tourists'levels of participation in activities and their psychological well-being, the indirect effect was negligible. The study concluded that senior tourists'activity levels were significantly related to their psychological well-being, but their satisfaction with the tours was not.
