How people enjoy an experience at an amusement park: Analysis of brainwave
After COVID-19, "health tourism," which mainly focuses on maintaining, promoting, and restoring health, is expected to flourish, in addition to the novelty-seeking tourism to historic sites. According to "Global Wellness Economy: Looking Beyond COVID" (Dec. 2021), the global tourism market is expected to fall to $435.7 billion by 2020, and the "Health Tourism Certification System" will begin in 2018 in Japan. According to "Global Wellness Economy: Looking Beyond COVID" (Dec. 2021), the global tourism market is expected to expand to $1.127 trillion by 2025 after falling to $435.7 billion in 2020. Against this backdrop, we have researched the healing effects of forest bathing and found that healing effects are higher near rivers, waterfalls, and tropical rainforests. In this paper, we describe the results of measuring responses to attractions and healing effects at an amusement park to investigate how unusualness is linked to healing effects.
