Animal therapy appears to lower anxiety and promote mood-lifting hormones, significantly benefiting travelers who often deal with stress and nervousness at airports.
Portland International Airport has partnered with Mountain Peaks Therapy to bring certified llamas and alpacas into terminals, offering calming interactions for anxious travelers.
Studies suggest animal therapy, while needing more research, has minor to moderately positive effects on mental health, providing a welcome distraction for stressed flyers.
The Port of Portland is exploring multiple initiatives like incorporating nature into airport design, aiming to enhance passenger experience and mitigate travel-related anxiety.
