A leisure activity is essential to happiness. David & Junaida(2004) have reported that the desire that can be satisfied by a tourism activity, a leisure activity which is the result of psychological essence of desiring a tour, and a vacation as an experience affect positively to improve individuals happiness, On the bases of their report, this study attempted to see the relationships of sense of well-being through the extent of going on a tour (frequency and period) and the differences between nations. (Korea and China)
I defined sense of well-being as a sum of subjectively aware positive cognical and emotional status and measured it of the three factors of subjective well-being, the life satisfaction, the positive affect, the negative affect.
According to the result of my study the extent of touring(frequency and period) is related positively with the five factors except the relationship between the period and positive affect of sense of well-being. The frequency and period in negative affects showed differences between nations but no differences in positive affect. There were differences in the period factor bur no differences in the frequency factor of life satisfaction. A following study on the differences of touring activities of the well-being awareness between nations is seemed to be necessary. I also like to indicate the limit of collecting references. This study is significant of attempting to analyze the differences of the well-being awareness between nations.
