“…The notion of wellbeing reflects positive emotions and life satisfaction (Andrews & Withey, 1976;Frey & Stutzer, 2002). Scholars have examined facets such as physical wellbeing (Lambert et al, 2021), economic wellbeing (Wilkins, 2021), social wellbeing (Coulthard, Johnson, & McGregor, 2011), emotional wellbeing (Steptoe & Butler, 1996), psychological wellbeing (Steptoe, Deaton, & Stone, 2015), life satisfaction (Pavot & Diener, 2008), and workplace wellbeing (Brunetto, Teo, Shacklock, & Farr-Wharton, 2012).…”

A REVIEW OF DEFINITIONS OF TOURISMThe academic study of tourism is relatively young (Echtner & Jamal, 1997): related terms (such as "tourism" and "tourists") first appeared in the early nineteenth century (Smith, 1988). Tourism research evolved thereafter and now fits into numerous domains (Echtner & Jamal, 1997). The field is inherently multidisciplinary (Tribe, 1997), dating back to its roots primarily in such fields as economics, sociology, anthropology, and others (Kozak & Kozak, 2016). Considering the area's multifaceted nature, tourism scholars began to ask the question "What is tourism?" after identifying it as a globalized phenomenon with evident socioeconomic importance worldwide (Darbellay & Stock, 2012;Smith, 1988).Smith 's (1988) question "What is tourism?" has attracted a spate of answers but remains hotly debated. Definitions of tourism continue to emerge. As a seminal example, Leiper (1979) centered tourism on geography: he defined tourism as "the system involving the discretionary travel and temporary stay of persons away from their usual place of residence for one or more nights, excepting tours made for the primary purpose of earning remuneration from points en route" (pp.403-4). This system is composed of travelers, generating and destination regions, transit routes, and the general tourist industry, all of which feature functional and spatial links. The United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) (2019) later described tourism as people leaving their everyday environment for no more than a full year. Tourism also reflects travel motivations, which do not always involve pleasure and relaxation (C. Yu, Wen, & Meng, 2020). Other drivers of travel include health (for example, medical tourism), human rights (for example, social tourism), grief (for example, dark tourism), and professional development (for example, business and education) (see for example Connell, 2013;Glover, 2011;McCabe & Diekmann, 2015).Researchers have proposed different tourism-related areas to examine the field more closely (Yuan, Gretzel, & Tseng, 2015). Sample topics include tourism geographies, tourism economics, and physics and tourism. For example, some studies (Cui, Huang, Chen, Zhang, & Li, 2019; Cui, Xin, & Li, 2021) have borrowed the concept of "inertia" from physics: inertia leads an object to maintain its velocity unless influenced by external forces. The concept has been applied in consumer-based studies (as

“…These categories refer to well-being from an individual or community point of view. Economic well-being: refers to an individual's capacity to sustain income and cover basic survival needs [ 25 ]. In the present study, we describe a decline in economic well-being when individuals report increased financial concerns, financial stress, decreased income or economic instabilities, increased depts, job insecurity, loss of property or housing, and reports of unemployment as consequences of climate change-related events.…”

The relevance of social media to tourism and, subsequently, economic wellbeing is demonstrable in the target marketing of tourism products and services to potential customers at tourist destinations. Using a dataset from the 40 most visited countries across different continents over the period 2009 to 2020, this study investigates the effect of tourism and social media on economic wellbeing. It also examines the moderating influence of social media on the underlying relationship. The study adopts the tourism-led growth hypothesis as the main theoretical rationale for the underlying relationship. The empirical analysis is conducted using the iterated general method of moments (GMM). The results show that tourism development helps to promote economic wellbeing, while social media has a dampening effect. Additionally, the findings indicate that a high level of social media penetration has a significant and positive moderating effect on the nexus between tourism and economic wellbeing. This suggests that social-media-driven tourism can significantly improve the economic wellbeing of destination countries. Conducive macroeconomic conditions and political stability are also concurrent with the contributory effects of tourism on the economic wellbeing of destination countries.
