Tourism plays a very important role in the global economy and contributes significantly to economic growth, cultural exchanges, environmental protection, and the promotion of tourists’ well-being. Tourists’ exposure to cultural ecosystem services (CES) during tourism activities can have a significant impact on their well-being. Therefore, understanding the relationship between cultural ecosystem services and tourists’ well-being is essential for achieving sustainable tourism development. This study analyzes cultural ecosystem services perceived by tourists and examines their impact on their well-being in El-Goli Park, Tabriz. The results obtained show that cultural ecosystem services have positive and diverse effects on various aspects of tourists’ well-being. In particular, categories such as recreation and ecotourism, aesthetic values, and social relations have played the most role in promoting the well-being of visitors to this park. Incorporating considerations related to tourist well-being in tourism planning and decision-making processes can play an effective role in guiding tourism development towards improving the quality of life of tourists and ensuring the sustainability of this industry.
