“…Social and relational factors are repeatedly found to be crucial to individual wellbeing (Keyes, 2002;Tay and Diener, 2011;Naci and Ioannidis, 2015) but are also to related societal wellbeing (Helliwell and Putnam, 2004;Delle Fave et al, 2011Bartolini, 2014;Bartolini and Sarracino, 2014). This conclusion is consistent with the results of studies in behavioral economics, neuroscience and in evolutionary biology, as humans are now conceived of as profoundly prosocial (Jensen et al, 2014) 23 .…”

Sustainability and wellbeing are two key global policy priorities, which despite considerable overlap, are invariably isolated. In wellbeing, the importance of social dimensions is an emergent conclusion, but recognition of the environment and nature is embryonic. In sustainability, wellbeing remains poorly characterized. Despite some procedural advantages, in practice, a continued ambiguity risks compromising both goals, and improved conceptual integration is therefore necessary. In this review article, key contemporary wellbeing accounts are considered, including preferences, needs, capabilities, happiness, psychological wellbeing, and physical wellness. Wellbeing literature suggests that a holistic multidimensional account is strongly supported, that is context- and value-dependent, with a prominent role for social and relational dimensions. A transdisciplinary systems thinking approach is appropriate to integrate from the individualism characteristic of wellbeing, to the interdependent human and environmental systems of sustainability. It is recognized that both wellbeing and sustainability are complex and value-laden, requiring the surfacing of values and ethics. A synthesis of the two branches of literature asserts four fundamental lenses: the framing of growth and change; social justice; the ethics of freedom; and the value of nature. The conceptual synthesis both platforms the relational approach of “care,” and underlines the imperative to reconsider the place of consumption. An integrated “sustainable wellbeing” offers the potential for win-win outcomes, in transformation to a flourishing of human wellbeing and the natural world.

“…The economic growth and prosperity of members of rich societies is overshadowed by their dissatisfaction with increasing pollution, environmental degradation and loss of biodiversity. In other words, economic growth does not necessarily lead to happiness, while economic affluence is seen as "compensation for the emotional distress and loss of resources caused by scarce social and affective relationships" [26]. Citizens living in the richest countries are not always the happiest [27,28], especially if they note the degradation of the natural and social environment [29], or the increase in insecurity and volatility [30].…”

The recent pandemic crisis led to a drop in tourism, and it highlighted the connection between tourism, healthcare, environmental concerns and well-being. In this context, the purpose of the research is to clarify the relationship between tourism, happiness, healthcare and environmental expenditure. Statistical data provided by the World Bank, Eurostat and the World Happiness Database from the EU27 countries, from 2000 to 2019, were used. In order to investigate the relationship between these indicators, the panel Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) method was used. In the long run, happiness and environmental and healthcare expenditure have a statistically significant and positive impact on tourism arrivals and receipts. It follows that a 1% increase in happiness supports between 4% and 9% of international tourism, while a 1% increase in environmental expenditure supports an increase of 2% in international tourism. Additionally, there is a significant interaction between happiness and either environmental or healthcare expenditure in the long run. This means that increasing happiness diminishes the effect of the later on tourism arrivals and receipts. No short-term relationship was identified between arrivals and any of the above-mentioned variables. In the same context, healthcare expenditure has a negative short-term effect on tourism receipts. The research contributes to the literature by suggesting that increasing national happiness, healthcare and environmental expenditure has a beneficial spillover effect on tourism arrivals and receipts in the long run.

El artículo revisa la literatura sobre felicidad desde una perspectiva de política pública. Se encuentra una tendencia, que debería fortalecerse en el futuro, a estudiar los efectos de diversas políticas sobre la felicidad, en lugar de extrapolar los efectos de trabajos sobre los determinantes. Dado que muchos métodos fueron diseñados para estudiar la utilidad, hace falta adaptarlos, especialmente en el tratamiento del tiempo, y en el uso de métodos experimentales y la evaluación de impacto. La noción de felicidad plantea preguntas importantes, pero todavía son necesarios más desarrollos para su uso fructífero en la toma de decisiones de política. The article surveys the recent literature on happiness from a policy perspective. We identified a trend in order to study the effects of different policies on happiness instead of simply extrapolating policy recommendations from studies on the determinants of happiness. We predict that this trend will become more pronounced in the future. As many policy tools were made for utility, they require adaptation to promote happiness, especially in terms of the treatment of time, the use of experimental methods, and impact evaluation. Happiness studies raise important and interesting questions; however, more developments are needed for them to be useful in aiding public policy.
