WHO WE ARE.Planet Happiness is a TOURISM and BIG DATA project of the Happiness Alliance Our mission is to focus the attention of all tourism stakeholders on the well-being agenda...... ...and use tourism as a vehicle for development that demonstrably strengthens destination sustainability and the quality of life of host communities. At Planet Happiness, we work with all tourism stakeholders to position host-community well-being front and centre. |
WHAT WE DO.Planet Happiness helps destinations advance their competitive edge through more inclusive, more responsible and more purposeful tourism planning. Using the state-of-the-art Happiness Alliance's Happiness Index survey, which is based on Bhutan's pioneering approach to measure Gross National Happiness. Planet Happiness measures the happiness of residents living in World Heritage sites and beyond. We harvest data that directly measures how individual residents and destination communities view their well-being. |
HOW WE DO IT.We partner locally to deploy the Happiness Index - an OECD recognised & scientifically valid comprehensive tool that provides a direct experience of how well-being is measured. We analyse data to produce one-page destination score-cards and in-depth data-rich reports.

WHAT WE MEASURE.Based upon Bhutan’s Gross National Happiness (GNH) domains, the factors of happiness we measure are:
