ABSTRACT

The tourism industry is greatly affected by environmental changes. Especially after the world went through the Covid pandemic era, people prefer doing healthy tourism. The daily workload, the increase in education and welfare have resulted in a shift in the trend of tourism choices. People are increasingly considering the fulfillment of work-life balance. This study is designed to examine the elements contained in the measurement of the restorative quality of destinations known as "Perceived destination restorative quality (PDRQ)”. PDRQ consists of four elements, namely being away, extent, fascination, and compatibility. These four elements will be tested for their effect on the overall restorative impact and visitor satisfaction. A quantitative study will be conducted in Indonesia with tourism objects in Jogjakarta and Central Java covering rural and urban areas. SEM statistical analysis tools will be used to test the validity and reliability of the data collected. This research will enrich the literature review in the field of health tourism and for managers will be useful to further broaden the perspective of offering tourism program that has more restorative impacts. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
