Abstract: The study aims to understand the impact of memorable travel experience (MTE) on psychological dimensions like mindfulness, and psychological capital, among the participants of the travel retreats offered in India. The study adopted a descriptive design with a quantitative approach for data collection and analysis. Data was collected for the study variables from the participants of the Travel retreats. These retreats are organized by companies working in the mental health domain. The data was collected from 412 participants who were a part of travel retreats. CFA was conducted to validate the measurement model. SEM was used for Mediation and Moderation analysis. Study finding suggests that memorable travel experiences involving Dance and Movement Therapy (DMT) have a positive impact on Mindfulness that helps in improving psychological capital. Mindfulness acts as a significant mediator between MTE and Psychological Capital. Restoration acts as a moderator between Mindfulness and Psychological Capital. We may conclude that alternative therapy such as travel or DMT could be used to improve individuals’ mindfulness and psychological capital.
