digital detox tourism, disconnecting, mental health, well-beingAbstract
In today’s technology-driven world, digital detox tourism has emerged as a response to growing concerns about the mental and physical health effects of constant digital connectivity. This niche form of tourism offers an opportunity for individuals to disconnect from digital devices and reconnect with nature and themselves. This research is guided by the following main research question: What are the current trends and consumer demands driving this type of tourism globally? After introducing the global trends, insights are gained through case studies on the topic and an analysis of Il Monastero, a well-known Italian digital detox destination. Studying successful examples of digital detox tourism can serve as inspiration for implementing the concept in various locations. The aim of the research is to contribute to individual well-being and the sustainable growth of tourism.
