“…The perception of risk linked to the COVID-19 pandemic during stays has never taken on such an interest in scientific literature as in the years 2020-2021 [7,46,52,56]. Indeed, most tourists have adopted a neutral position regarding the parameters considered for the assessment of risk perception in space public during the COVID-19 period-summer 2020 (Table 2) in the city of Porto.…”

“…The authors indicated that tourists with tourism experience tend to perceive less the risks. (2) the knowledge and familiarity of risk-the degree of interest in risk increases with knowledge about the attributes and profile that specifically characterize a destination [46,56].…”

“…Neuburger and Eggar [7] identified in the DACH Region (Germany, Austria, and Switzerland) an increase in risk perception in March 2020 with a sample of 1370 tourists, subdivided in 2 phases, in March 2020. In a study developed between January and February of 2020 on Wuhan (the probable epicenter of COVID-19), respondents who have never visited Wuhan or were the least connected to Wuhan had higher levels of risk perception when compared to those who already knew the destination prior to the COVID-19 crisis [56].…”

Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Tourist Risk Perceptions—The Case Study of Porto

et al. 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak (in early 2020) has dictated significant changes in society and territories by anticipating trends, changing priorities, and creating challenges, which are manifested in the territories. These are influenced by the levels of economic, cultural, and social restructuring, in the measures implemented by public administration or in attempts to redefine strategies for tourism destinations. This paper examines the perceptions and behaviors of tourists before and during COVID-19 in the municipality of Porto, the main area of the Porto Metropolitan Area, in Portugal. Research was based on the application of a questionnaire survey, probing the sensitivity of tourists to the crisis in the decision-making of daily routines, as well as future travel plans in the presence of a serious health concern. A total of 417 surveys were collected in the summers of 2019 and 2020. In addition to descriptive statistics, this paper also includes the results of the analysis of explanatory factors, being a reference for future studies. There were significant changes in the use of public space and the way tourist visits are handled, namely: (i) the concentration of visiting time (shorter visit than usual in certain tourist profiles); (ii) spatially limited visiting areas; and (iii) the ability to attract standard tourists from certain countries where tighter lockdown rules were imposed. Main implications of this study are reflected in the challenges that are imposed on the local agenda, where traditional problems are added to the responsibilities in crisis management and the ability to establish a third order of intervention in tourism.

“…Other studies investigating perceived risk and travel intentions have confirmed that risk perception is essential for travel decision making (Agyeiwaah et al, 2021;Falahuddin et al, 2020;Li & Ito, 2021;Zhan et al, 2020). When it comes to the differences between travel in the country and abroad in terms of risk perception, the findings indicate significant differences in terms of health risk, destination risk and travel risk.…”

The research purpose is determination of the differences in Serbian tourist’s perceived risk, during the COVID-19 health crisis, according to travel intention and destination of travel. In order to accomplish an analysis of differences between risks (travel risk, destination risk, health risk, financial risk), risk scores were calculated using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Testing the differences in relation to the travel intention and destination of travel during the COVID-19 pandemic according to risk perception was conducted through one-way MANOVA, where two models were applied. The outcome of the first model shows: significant impact of travel intention on a linear combination of risk factors. Also, taking into account all four risk factors, there are significant differences between those who intend to travel during a pandemic and those without that intention. In the second model, the findings indicate significant impact of the travel destination on a linear combination of risk factors, and significant differences between those respondents who intend to travel during the COVID-19 pandemic in the country and those respondents who intend to travel abroad according towards the perception of health risk, destination risk, and travel risk.

“…If, on the contrary, seasonality responds to economic factors, such as income, the relative price or the exchange rate, then the appropriate policies would need to aim at influencing economic factors. Recently, the COVID-19 pandemic is involving a review of the management and marketing strategies of tourism [35,36]. One last group of studies focuses on analysis of the effectiveness of economic policy measures aimed at reducing the seasonality of tourism activity and its adverse effects [6,[37][38][39][40][41][42].…”

Seasonality in Tourism: Do Senior Programs Mitigate It?

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Seasonality is a widely recognised and accredited phenomenon known to cause an imbalance in tourism activity throughout the year, prompting tourist destinations, both public and private, to consider how best to plan the use of their resources. One way of mitigating the economic imbalances that seasonality can cause is to find strategies for seasonal adjustment, such as travel programmes aimed at the elderly. This paper analyses the seasonality of tourism activity in some EU countries, and in particular in Spain. Different indicators are used to compare the results and carry out a sensitivity analysis. The study then focuses on tourism programmes for the elderly in Spain to see whether this type of programme helps to alleviate the seasonality of tourism activity. To corroborate this, an econometric model is specified and estimated, which enables the scope of these programmes to be compared.
