The research involved 236 travelers and used SEM analysis to validate the measurement model. Results showed that mindfulness positively impacts spirituality and tourism well-being, with spirituality partially mediating the relationship between mindfulness and well-being. To the author’s knowledge, this is the first study showing the potential of the positive relationship between mindfulness, spirituality, and tourism well-being considering the influence of mindfulness on happiness and satisfaction with life.
