Abstract(s)
The purpose of this study was to explore creativity and wellbeing characteristics in a sample of
Portuguese tourists while simultaneously building a creative tourist profile. A sample of 857
Portuguese tourists with ages ranging from 17 to 76 years was used. The Creative Personality
Scale short form and the Tourism Experience Scale were applied for data collection. The
results indicated positive and significant correlations between wellbeing and creativity.
Women showed higher levels of wellbeing. Older tourists performed better in creativity.
Age had a significant influence only on creativity and not on tourists’ overall wellbeing.
Non-students obtained higher and significant scores for creativity, while overall wellbeing
was not influenced by having a job (student vs non-student). A significant multiple linear

tourism settings. Wellbeing rankings showed positive emotions in first place, creativity in
second place and meaning in third place. In conclusion, the results indicated that creativity
and wellbeing are important factors for tourism experiences and that Portuguese tourists’
psychological profile already show
