Abstract
Museums are an important part of the tourism industry and the potential to create and enhance the well-being of their visitors, the aim of the present study is to design a conceptual model for promoting the well-being of tourists in museums and identify the components and factors that affect it. For this purpose, library studies were used to collect data, and 14 experts in the fields of museums, tourism, and psychology were interviewed semi-structuredly using the snowball sampling method. The research data were coded in the form of a qualitative content analysis method with an inductive approach and with the help of MaxQDA 2020 software. The findings indicate that intrapersonal factors, extrapersonal factors, overall experience with a focus on the flow experience and mindfulness are the most fundamental components in the formation of a conceptual model of promoting a sense of well-being of tourists in museum.
