This study examined the relationship between university students’ participation in tourism, self-identity, and life satisfaction. For the sample, 163 copies were used by surveying students attending four universities in Busan. It was analyzed that qualitative and quantitative participation had a significant effect on self-identity. Self-identity was found to have an effect on life satisfaction and the components of tourism participation were analyzed to affect life satisfaction in the order of quantitative and qualitative participation. Therefore, Hypothesis 1, Hypothesis 2, and Hypothesis 3 were all accepted. These verification results provide the following implications. First, it is necessary to actively encourage participation in tourism to establish self-identity of university students. Educational institutions and local governments need to encourage students' tourism activities and adopt and implement various tourism-related non-curricular programs. Second, it suggests that it is necessary to understand qualitative and quantitative tourism participation, self-identity, and life satisfaction as one mechanism to improve life satisfaction. Third, life satisfaction is analyzed to be influenced more by self-identity than by tourism participation. Therefore, it is necessary to enhance the understanding of a satisfactory life by strengthening education.
