Abstract:
Quality of Life (QoL) is a construct that involves different aspects of a person's life. Although various researchers and organizations have examined the meaning of QoL in many different ways, its definition is still vague. In order to increase comparability and consistency across disciplines, including sociology, economics, psychology, management, etc., this paper evaluates various definitions and formulates a new definition of QoL for tourism entrepreneurs, following the 7-step approach established in the theory of the definition. Conducting a qualitative analysis of certain words, themes, concepts, meanings, the new definition manages to capture the essence of QoL for tourism entrepreneurs, thus reducing the internal and external vagueness associated with the meaning.
