The positive impact of tourism on mental health has attracted growing attention; however, the effects of tourism videos remain underexplored. Using facial emotion recognition, this study found that tourism videos significantly enhanced emotional states among mentally healthy, sub-healthy, and depressed individuals. Notably, the sub-healthy group showed the greatest improvement. Mentally healthy participants responded more positively to videos with high environmental unusualness and multi-person interaction, while depressed individuals responded better to low-unusualness environments with voice-over interaction. Sub-healthy individuals showed intermediate patterns. The findings underscore the importance of tailoring tourism video content to individuals’ mental states to more effectively promote emotional regulation.
