“…Tourism activities make use of the natural landscape as well as the ecological and human–social resources to improve the physical and mental health of the participants through human planning [ 26 ]. However, the current epidemic is still unclear, and the side effects and uncertainties arising from the external risks of travel, man-made hazards, and factors such as the epidemic and climate change will increase the risk of travel and affect people’s willingness to travel [ 27 ]. Therefore, this study assumed that the awareness of environmental risks in travel can be used to estimate people’s willingness to travel.…”

“…Therefore, it is important to understand people’s perceptions of policies in order to obtain more in-depth answers [ 38 , 39 ]. Currently, there have been many studies on policy-making and environmental risk perceptions [ 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 ], and a number of studies on physical and mental health perceptions [ 37 , 40 ], as well as health beliefs [ 27 ]. Although there are studies related to decision making, environmental risks and travel intentions [ 41 , 42 ], there are not many studies focusing on policy-making and environmental risk cognition, health beliefs, and physical and mental health cognition related to travel intentions for international travel during an epidemic.…”

The present study aimed to understand Taiwanese people’s willingness to participate in the travel bubble policy. A mixed research method was used to collect 560 questionnaires, and SPSS 22.0 software was used for the statistical validation and Pearson’s performance correlation analysis. Expert opinions were collected and the results were validated using multivariate analysis. Findings: People were aware of the seriousness of the virus and the preventive measures but were not afraid of the threat of infection. They looked forward to traveling to heighten their enthusiasm, relieve stress, and soothe their emotions. However, the infection and death rates have been high, there have been various routes of infection, and it has been difficult to identify the symptoms. The complex backgrounds of people coming in and out of airports, hotels and restaurants may create pressure on the participants of events. In addition, the flawed policies and high prices resulted in a loss of confidence in the policies and a wait-and-see attitude toward tourism activities. Thus, travel decisions (0.634), physical and mental health assessment (0.716), and environmental risk (−0.130) were significantly (p < 0.05) related to travel intentions, and different issues were affected to different degrees, while health beliefs had no significant effect (p > 0.05).

“…Beyond its public health impacts COVID-19 has restructured the landscape for business operations with many businesses closed on a permanent or temporary basis (Bartik, 2020). Tourists perceptions of risk associated with the spread of the pandemic have resulted in changing patterns of mobilities and radical shifts in patterns of consumer demand to which businesses have to adapt (Korinth, 2020;Kowalska and Niezgoda, 2020;Neuburger and Egger, 2020;Sánchez-Cañizares et al, 2020;Godovykh et al, 2021;Rogerson and Rogerson, 2021a). Seemingly, the ways that tourism businesses are confronting and responding to the debilitating effects of the COVID-19 pandemic vary geographically across different regions of the world as is shown by the eight country study undertaken by Alonso et al (2021aAlonso et al ( , 2021b.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has compelled tourism businesses to rapidly adjust operations in newer and more resilient ways as firms have to change priorities and respond to challenges, including of shifts in consumer demand. Extant research on tourism business responses and adaptations to COVID-19 highlights the significance of organizational resilience and ability of businesses to respond to uncertainty. Using a qualitative approach this paper investigates tourism business responses in South Africa, seemingly the country worst hit on the African continent by the COVID-19 crisis. The research analyses tourism business responses occurring in one of South Africa’s tourism-dependent areas and thus most exposed to the radical effects of COVID-19. Key findings are of the self-reliant character of the community of tourism enterprises in and around Overstrand cluster in the Western Cape. Product diversification, reductions of prices, reduced staffing, changed marketing, greater inter-enterprise cooperation are several of the most significant business adjustments undertaken. With the negative financial impacts of COVID19 on local tourism enterprises exacerbated by South African government measures for alcohol bans and beach closures there is evidence of a disconnect and lack of trust between the area’s local businesses and national government.

“…We should think about investing in new strategies to activate the tourism and air sector, when surveys show that tourists do not want to travel and are afraid of getting infected on airplanes and public transport (Figure 5). According to Hasan et al (2017) and Godovykh et al (2021) suggest that a negative correlation between risk perceptions and tourists’ behavioral intentions. It was reported that higher levels of perceived risk evaluations led to lower levels of satisfaction, loyalty, attitude toward a destination and visit intentions.…”

Purpose This study aims to analyze the effects of COVID-19 on airlines, airports and the destination Andalusia. On that basis, the study has assessed the bankruptcy of some airlines, closure and reduction of the frequency of air routes, COVID-19 measures at airports by governments, etc., to adapt to new circumstances, be efficient and plan their resources according to the tourist demand. Design/methodology/approach A review of the relevant literature on the impact of COVID-19 on the aviation industry, airports and tourism sector are undertaken to understand the link between them. The paper begins by explaining the effects of the pandemic on the aviation industry and discusses its impact in the Andalusian region. Furthermore, this study uses secondary data from IATA, AENA, EUROCONTROL, INE, OAG, UNTWO, etc., to support research results. Findings The results of the effects of the pandemic in Andalusia are being devastating and this destination is heavily dependent on tourism. The drastic drop in flight frequencies at airports during the pandemic has caused an average decrease of −65% in passenger arrivals at airports until October 2020 that is 23 million passengers, too many passengers for the Andalusian economy, which depends mainly on the tourism sector. Originality/value The study contributes toward assessing the COVID-19 effects on the aviation industry and tourist destinations. Both sectors will re-emerge in the medium term and at different speeds in different regions. The contribution of this study is essential for managers and operators of airlines, airports and tourist destinations to make better future decisions.
