Babymoon Tourism: Co-Creating Well-Being for Traveling Mothers

Abstract: This article aims to provide insight into how babymoon tourism can contribute to well-being by using a multimethod approach, combining autoethnography and netnography. The findings show that mothers-to-be experience well-being derived from co-creation and meaning. Participation in activities and everyday-like events at the destination can lead to happiness and improved quality of life. Self-development, empowerment, interpersonal interactions, and engagement with local culture all inspire well-being. In contra… Show more

“…The analytical approach allows autoethnographers to be a part of research of communities, inform researcher’s self and use analytical reflexivity to contribute to theoretical propositions, while the evocative approach draws the line that distances autoethnographers from research settings and focus on storytelling in an in-depth and enriched description to deal with intrapersonally intimate, taboo, or sensitive subjects. For example, using an analytical approach to viewing the co-creation of well-being through a cultural interaction lens, Vespestad (2022) provided enriched insights and suggestions of an untapped potential for babymoon tourism from her lifetime travel experience. In another study, Shepherd et al (2020) used evocative collaborative autoethnography to contemplate the relational and personal differences of contested heritage space in the context of Israeli-Palestinian relations.…”

Exaggerated anticipatory anxiety is common in social anxiety disorder (SAD). Neuroimaging studies have revealed altered neural activity in response to social stimuli in SAD, but fewer studies have examined neural activity during anticipation of feared social stimuli in SAD. The current study examined the time course and magnitude of activity in threat processing brain regions during speech anticipation in socially anxious individuals and healthy controls (HC). Method Participants (SAD n = 58; HC n = 16) underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during which they completed a 90s control anticipation task and 90s speech anticipation task.
