Scholarship on the concept of tourist well-being has experienced significant growth. Despite this, studies have predominantly explored the hedonic aspects of well-being, leaving eudaimonic dimensions underexplored and conceptually underdeveloped. Consequently, this research seeks to explore the underlying dimensions of eudaimonic well-being which emerge from international study tourism experiences. Drawing on the outcomes of photo elicitation focus group discussions with 23 participants, this research revealed that international study tourism experiences fostered feelings of achievement, learning and self-reflection as well as connections with nature and enhanced social relationships. This paper contributes by developing the Lotus Framework of Well-being which incorporates personal, relational, and environmental dimensions to articulate the transformational triggers of eudaimonic well-being in the study tourism context. Future work should further explore how the advancement of the Lotus Framework can provide a stimulating environment for knowledge sharing and capacity building to improve sustainable tourism development.

国际学习旅游体验的 Eudaimonic 幸福感结果：幸福感的莲花框架

关于游客福祉概念的学术研究取得了显著增长。尽管如此，研究主要探讨了幸福感的享乐方面，而 eudaimonic 维度尚未得到充分探索，概念上也未得到充分开发。因此，本研究旨在探索国际学习旅游体验中出现的 eudaimonic 幸福感的潜在维度。根据与 23 名参与者进行的照片启发焦点小组讨论的结果，这项研究揭示了国际学习旅游体验促进了成就感、学习和自我反省，以及与大自然的联系和加强了社会关系。本文通过开发 Lotus 幸福感框架做出贡献，该框架结合了个人、关系和环境维度，以阐明在研究旅游背景下幸福感的变革触发因素。未来的工作应进一步探索 Lotus Framework 的进步如何为知识共享和能力建设提供刺激的环境，以改善可持续旅游业的发展。
