dc.description.abstractPositioning rural tourism as a site of informal, experiential education, this study examines how experiential learning and perceived mental health (PMH) shape rural tourists' post-visit performance in Portugal. The learning construct, with word-of-mouth (WoM), is embedded in an extended Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT2) framework, tested on 308 tourists. PMH mediated the WoM–performance link, and experiential learning emerged as the strongest driver of post-visit performance, revealing rural tourism as a learning-rich experience rather than mere leisure. The study informs tourism education, showing how rural experiences can shape curriculum design and the training of tourism professionals.en
