Scientists from China and Australia have found that tourism helps fight dementia. Their findings are published in the journal Tourism Management. The researchers argue that travel can be used as a way to combat age-related dementia along with medication.
Trips allow you to get new emotional experience (hedonic tourism, conscious tourism), cognitive experience (acquaintance with new information, comparison of past and current trips), creative experience (family tourism, group tours), and sensory experience (contemplation of landscapes, spending time on the beach).
All these factors contribute to the improvement of dementia, the scientists report.
