Digital detox tourism has emerged from the desire to detox from digital
addiction caused by the overuse of technology and to get away from digital stimuli.
Although it has been used to define a type of tourism that takes place in destinations
that are digitally free, where internet networks and mobile signals are absent, or where
the use of technology can be controlled, it is thought that it would be useful to expand
the definition by basing it on mindfulness. Mindfulness-based digital detox tourism
argues that by bringing mindful practices to their travels, tourists can consciously
disconnect from technology and improve their well-being, physical and mental health,
focus, and quality of life. This study discussed digital detox tourism, mindfulness,
mindful travel, and the benefits of all of these, then defined mindfulness-based digital
detox tourism and made predictions for the future.
Keywords: Digitalization, Digital detox tourism, Mindful travel, Mindfulness.
