“…The concept of JOMO promotes "untangling the web of" one's "online engagement" (Crook, 2014), especially for those who live a technologically focused life. The detoxification from the constantly connected world can be voluntary or non-voluntary and can be short or long (Putra, 2019). JOMO promotes life without FOMO and a life where people gaze at life for deeper meanings.…”

Purpose With the rapid improvement in digital infrastructure, the popularity of digital devices and smartphones in every pocket, the yearning to stay connected with others has increased manifold, especially in youngsters. This has raised multiple concerns primarily related to the problematic usage of the internet (PUI). The current research study aims to scrutinize the association between PUI, psychological and mental health (PMH), social media fatigue (SMF), fear of missing out (FOMO), desire to disconnect (DD) and its relation with a novel phenomenon of joy of missing out (JOMO). Design/methodology/approach The present research study embraces the empirical research method through quantitative analysis. The proposed theoretical model was empirically tested using primary data, collected through a self-designed structured questionnaire. The study sample included individuals between 16 and 39 years of age as these are the most active demographics on social media. The model is empirically tested with the help of structural equation modeling applied using software IBM AMOS 20.0 and SPSS 22.0. Initially, first-order confirmatory factor analysis was conducted, to measure and test the fit indices of the proposed model. Secondly, path analysis using structural equation modeling was carried out for the model. Findings Empirical synthesis of this research shows that PUI significantly and positively impacts mental and psychological health, FOMO and SMF. Also, SMF significantly and positively affects the DD which significantly and positively affects the JOMO. However, as depicted by the results of this study, FOMO have no considerable impact on SMF. Originality/value A study that connects the PUI with PMH, SMF and FOMO is rare to find. Second, this study uses data collected from social media users of India in the age group of 16–39 years. This slice of the population is most active in internet, and internet-enabled platform and are scantly studied, especially in the Indian context. This makes the study more exciting and crucial.

“…As well as nature-based tourism, an increasing variety of destinations, leisure and tourism products and services are concerned with experiences of disconnection. Examples include high-end and luxury travel, boutique resorts, wellness centres, retreats and spiritual centres (Putra 2019;Aranda and Baig 2018). Therefore, we encourage the pursuit of similar research efforts based on ANT in other tourism and leisure contexts.…”

“…DFT is becoming increasingly contiguous to nature-based tourism by building symbolic connections between disconnection from mobiles, remoteness, rurality, wilderness, 'taking a break', 'reconnecting', mindfulness, wellness and authenticity (Egger, Lei, and Wassler 2020;Hansen, Jones, and Tocchini 2017;Fuggle 2015). JOMO, 'joy of missing out', is emerging as a trend in response to FOMO, 'fear of missing out', and focuses on taking a break in nature from a daily environment saturated with Internet-based demands (Putra 2019;Aranda and Baig 2018). Elmahdy, Haukeland, and Fredman (2017) and Fredman, Wall-Reinius, and Grundén (2012) suggested that recent studies may indicate a thematic change from 'purist' escapism in natural areas, concerned with remoteness and wilderness, towards escapism mediated by services and infrastructures to facilitate experiential goals.…”

Recent studies question whether ubiquitous connectivity via mobiles represents an enhancer and facilitator in nature-based tourism experiences or a potential destructor to disconnect from. We argue that extant research approaches cannot fully grasp the complexity of the connectivity-disconnection dilemma, specifically how tourists appropriate, reinterpret, reshape, and negotiate with meanings inscribed in mobiles and how such negotiations link to valuations of nature-based experiences. This research adopts an interpretivist approach and uses actornetwork theory to investigate negotiations of connectivity and their experiential meanings through field interviews in Fulufjället National Park, Sweden. Results reveal translations of social connectivity, facilitation of information and orientation as thematic cores of tourists' embodiments of mobile connectivity. Results also show how the comprehensive tourismscape where such embodiments find meaning contributes to tourists' definitions of disconnection. Such definitions comprise human and non-human actors on site, off site, and cannot be exhausted by essentialist dualisms between being plugged and unplugged.

“…The tourism industry offers a wide variety of traveling options and experiences related to visiting a specific destination. Currently, it witnesses an interesting trend referred to as FOMO and JOMO (Fusté-Forné et al, 2012;Hodkinson, 2019;Putra, 2019). The first one, the Fear of Missing Out (abbreviated as FOMO) is a concept which means anxiety and fear of being disconnected from the virtual world (Edelman, 2018;Putra and Kusnadi, 2019).…”

Today, the tourism industry offers a broad variety of innovative products andservices, and witnesses the emergence of FOMO and JOMO as an interesting phenomenon.These concepts provide strict guidelines for defining new products and services intended foruse by the tourists. Hence, this paper attempts to describe both of these behaviors in thecontext of tourism.It also focuses on presenting selected results of research carried out with a group of studentsof the Poznań University of Life Sciences. The study provides grounds for concluding that thestudents are inclined to spend their holidays in quiet offline places. While they find it attractiveto stay in a location with no Internet connection, they also believe that holidays with no accessto social media can take no longer than 1–2 days.
