“…Among all the types of devices, smartphones have become an effective tool for obtaining information about a wide range of activities (e.g., reading news, navigating, and shopping online; Smith, 2015) and attenuated the negative impacts of social distancing (David & Roberts, 2021). In the hospitality and tourism industries, mobile apps also play an important role in facilitating tourists to plan travel itineraries, make decisions on purchases and dining at new places, communicate in real-time, and share their experiences online (Brennan, 2020; Jamal & Habib, 2020; Kim et al, 2021).

This study examines the relationship between pandemic alleviation and tourists’ intention to visit tourist and hospitality sites. It identifies that tourists’ regulatory focus affects their risk perception in visiting tourist and hospitality sites via mobile app usage during the stage of pandemic alleviation. Mixed methods that combine quantitative modeling and experiment were adopted. A total of six sets of panel data of mobile app usage in South Korea during and after the first wave of the pandemic was analyzed, supported by an experimental study to test the causal effect. Results reveal an increasing intention to engage in on-site hospitality and tourism activities in the alleviating period of a pandemic wave. This tendency is stronger for promotion-focused (vs. prevention-focused) tourists. The experimental study also confirms that risk perception mediates the relationship between pandemic alleviation and visit intention. This research provides insights for facilitating the recovery of the travel and hospitality industry. Highlights Mobile app use records reflect visit intention to tourist sites in the pandemic. Perceived risk mediates the effect of pandemic alleviation on visit intention. Promotion-focused people show higher visit intention when pandemic waves abate. A mixed-method approach was adopted to examine the aforementioned effects.

“…These perspectives are connected with the concept of a 'smart tourist', who uses various available digital tools both before and during a trip, including applications, sensors, Wi-Fi, big data and more (Gretzel, Sigala, Xiang, Koo, 2015). At the same time, combining conventional and technological experiences is a factor that for smart tourists increases the attractiveness of destinations (Buonincontri, Micera, 2016;Brennan, 2020). It should be noted that according to the data presented in the Turyści 2019 report, almost half the tourists in Poland with Android smartphones use mobile applications for tourism and on the basis of measurements from previous years, there is a noticeable upward trend (Spicy Mobile, 2019).…”
