Abstract

Using qualitative netnography of a USA social media group with >6000 members, we show that nature tourism can provide psychological rescue and rehabilitation, at levels comparable to clinical counselling and chemotherapies, for women who have suffered trauma, abuse, injury and illness. Diagnosis, design, and duration of nature tourism psychotherapies deserve further testing, for potential application in post-pandemic mental health recovery worldwide.
