The sample was determined with random sampling method. Data were analyzed through PLS-SEM method. Economic, cultural and environmental impacts were found to be positively affecting the support for balloon tourism. Also, a significant and positive relation was found between support for balloon tourism and well-being. Economic, cultural and environmental impacts are important factors in increasing support for balloon tourism. A significant portion of well-being may be explained by support for balloon tourism.
