Although repeat visitation is professed as a desirable phenomenon in studies on destination loyalty, there is limited explicit consideration of well-being as a psychological outcome for repeat visitors. Consequently, this research explores the intersection between repeat visitation and the well-being of repeat visitors to Fiji. Drawing from in-depth semi-structured interviews, findings highlight the fundamental importance of repeat visitation and familiarity in enhancing individual well-being. Consistent with the core tenets of the Self-Determination Theory, a conceptual framework is proposed that shows the contribution of autonomy, relatedness and competence to restorative tourism experiences for repeat travellers. Future research should draw on established well-being models in positive psychology to further elucidate the underlying dimensions contributing to repeat visitors' well-being.

尽管重复访问在目的地忠诚度研究中被认为是一种理想的现象，但很少明确考虑将幸福感作为重复访问者的心理结果。因此，本研究探讨了斐济重复访问与重复访问者福祉之间的交集。从深入的半结构化访谈中得出的结论强调了重复访问和熟悉程度对于提高个人幸福感的根本重要性。与自我决定理论的核心原则一致，提出了一个概念框架，显示自主性、相关性和能力对重复旅行者的恢复性旅游体验的贡献。
