The positive utility of travel (unrelated to the destination) and travel satisfaction have been discussed in travel literature, but a research gap exists in comparing if and how travel benefits might differ among commuting, shopping, leisure, and undirected trips (those without a destination, undertaken for the purpose of the trip itself). By specifying the varying benefits of each trip type (or determining whether there is a variation), the positive utility of travel can be better understood, potentially identifying strategies for improving travel satisfaction and, in turn, subjective well-being. This paper considers these four trip types (commuting, shopping, leisure, and undirected) by evaluating differences in beneficial aspects of travel (improving physical health, improving mental well-being, enjoying scenery, and social contact), travel satisfaction, and characteristics (mode, distance, duration, frequency) among 1122 daily travel trips using survey data (n = 332) from Flanders, Belgium. Results indicate that, 1. though taken least often, undirected trips are the most important to physical activity, 2. undirected and leisure trips are most associated with positive utility of travel, and 3. trips to a leisure destination are the most satisfying. This investigation offers information regarding how experienced utility might differ when considering the context of the destination, and how satisfaction with different trips might relate to overall well-being.

旅行的积极效用（与目的地无关）和旅行满意度已在旅行文献中进行了讨论，但在比较通勤、购物、休闲和无目的地旅行（没有目的地的旅行）之间旅行收益是否以及如何不同方面存在研究差距，为了旅行本身的目的而进行的）。通过指定每种旅行类型的不同好处（或确定是否存在差异），可以更好地理解旅行的积极效用，从而潜在地确定提高旅行满意度的策略，进而提高主观幸福感。本文通过评估旅行的有益方面（改善身体健康、改善心理健康、享受风景和社交）的差异，考虑了这四种旅行类型（通勤、购物、休闲和无方向），使用来自比利时法兰德斯的调查数据 (n = 332) 进行的 1122 次日常旅行中的旅行满意度和特征（方式、距离、持续时间、频率）。结果表明，1. 尽管参加次数最少，但无目的地旅行对身体活动最重要，2. 无目的地旅行和休闲旅行与旅行的积极效用最相关，3. 休闲目的地旅行最令人满意。这项调查提供了有关在考虑目的地环境时经验效用可能如何不同的信息，以及对不同旅行的满意度可能与整体幸福感之间的关系。无目的地旅行对身体活动最重要，2. 无目的地旅行和休闲旅行与旅行的积极效用最相关，以及 3. 去休闲目的地旅行是最令人满意的。这项调查提供了有关在考虑目的地环境时经验效用可能如何不同的信息，以及对不同旅行的满意度可能与整体幸福感之间的关系。无目的地旅行对身体活动最重要，2. 无目的地旅行和休闲旅行与旅行的积极效用最相关，以及 3. 去休闲目的地旅行是最令人满意的。这项调查提供了有关在考虑目的地环境时经验效用可能如何不同的信息，以及对不同旅行的满意度可能与整体幸福感之间的关系。
