Rehabilitation mobility has become a new demand and travel mode for people to pursue active health. A large number of tourists choose to escape the cold in warm places to improve their health every winter. In this study, we collected the health index data of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) tourists from western China before and after their cold escape in Hainan Island in winter, aiming to compare whether rehabilitating cold escape can improve the Quality of Life (QOL) of SAD tourists by hierarchical analysis. Compared with previous studies, this paper has the following contributions: Firstly, the study samples were accurately screened according to the pathogenesis of SAD tourists and the confounding factors were strictly controlled; Secondly, the observational experimental method was used to conduct inter-group and intra-group control studies on 695 samples, and the results were more objective and reliable. Thirdly, the effect of treatment on the quality of life (QOL) of 397 tourists in the rehabilitation mobility group was quantitatively evaluated from three factors including age, gender and sunshine exposure level by multivariate analysis of variance. Research results show that the rehabilitation environment brought by rehabilitation activities can help improve the health status of tourists. Therefore, this paper proposes the concept of "Tourism Therapy" and constructs a theoretical framework. The conclusion of this paper provides a scientific basis and reference for the study of tourism healing as a non-medical alternative therapy.
康复出行已成为人们追求积极健康的新需求和出行方式。每年冬天，大量游客选择前往温暖的地方避寒以改善健康状况。在本研究中，我们收集了中国西部季节性情感障碍（SAD）游客在冬季前往海南岛避寒前后的健康指数数据，旨在通过层次分析法比较康复性避寒是否能改善SAD游客的生活质量（QOL）。与以往研究相比，本文有以下贡献：第一，根据SAD游客的发病机制准确筛选研究样本，并严格控制混杂因素；第二，采用观察性实验方法对695个样本进行组间和组内对照研究，结果更客观可靠。第三，通过多因素方差分析从年龄、性别和日照暴露水平三个因素对康复出行组中397名游客的生活质量（QOL）的治疗效果进行了定量评估。研究结果表明，康复活动带来的康复环境有助于改善游客的健康状况。因此，本文提出了“旅游疗法”的概念并构建了理论框架。本文的结论为旅游治愈作为一种非医学替代疗法的研究提供了科学依据和参考。
