This research aims to analyse the relationships between leisure travels and the subjective well-being of ageing individuals in Singapore. It has been well-documented in academic literature that leisure travels, be it excursions or overseas holidays, can have positive effects on one’s subjective well-being. Studies have been conducted on the benefits of travels for young families and people with disabilities. However, there is a dearth of research that focuses specifically on the impacts of leisure travels on the elderly, not to mention their implications for social policies pertaining to ageing. The project aims to address this lacuna.
