Recently, despite the growing number of well-being tourism pursuing wellness, the lack of research has led to a close analysis of the impact of well-being tourism motivation on quality of life through well-being tourism satisfaction. For this study, a total of 236 people who have experienced well-being tours in the metropolitan area were surveyed from May 10 to May 21, 2021. First, well-being tourism motivation has a positive effect on well-being tourism satisfaction. Second, well-being tourism satisfaction has a positive impact on the quality of life. Third, Wellness has a positive indirect effect as a partial mediator between well-being tourism satisfaction and quality of life The implications of this study are to demonstrate the impact of well-being tourism on quality of life using Wellness' mediators This study suggests that wellness tourism plays an important role in improving the quality of life. It was analyzed that well-being tourism had a positive effect on improving the quality of life at a time when the fatigue of daily life was increased due to prolonged COVID-19. In addition, Wellis analyzed that it is an important factor in enhancing the quality of life for well-being tourists. This contributes not only to the academic contribution to the revitalization of well-being tourism, but also to the development of stress improvement routes to improve people's lives nationally.
