“…Turistično gospodarstvo je bilo močno prizadeto, kar je veljalo tako za področje nastanitev kot transporta (Farmaki in sod., 2020;Škare, Soriano, Porada-Rochon, 2021) oziroma za celotno turistično nabavno verigo (González-Torres, Rodríguez-Sánchez, Pelechano-Barahona, 2021; Gössling, Scott, Hall, 2021;Lakshmi Singh, Jamal, Suhail Ahmad, 2021). Kot odziv na takšno situacijo so države sprejemale različne ukrepe, s katerimi so poskušaIe ublažiti negativne učinke pandemije na turistično gospodarstvo (Cvelbar, Farčnik, Ogorevc, 2021;Okafor, Khalid, Gopalan, 2022), kljub temu pa so številna turistična podjetja prenehala s svojo dejavnostjo. Še zlasti so bila prizadeta manjša in srednje velika podjetja (Zeilhofer, Zobavnik, 2020).…”

Pandemija covida-19 je pomenila velik pretres za turizem po svetu in v Sloveniji. Prišlo je do močnega zmanjšanja števila turističnih potovanj in prenočitev ter preusmeritve turističnih tokov. Prispevek predstavlja rezultate anketne raziskave, katere namen je bil poglobiti poznavanje učinkov pandemije covida-19 na turistično ravnanje slovenskega prebivalstva. Rezultati so pokazali, da je pandemija vplivala na manj pogosta in krajša turistična potovanja ter izbiro drugačnih turističnih destinacij. Pri sprejemanju potovalnih odločitev je bila pomembna tako vloga epidemioloških omejitev in zaznavanja varnosti različnih oblik turističnih potovanj kot tudi običajnih dejavnikov turističnega odločanja.

“…As a result, studies on recovery must focus on understanding how different characteristics of destinations affect overall recovery in times of health crisis. Current tourism recovery research has focused on a variety of issues, including residents' support for the government's COVID‐19 policy for accelerating tourism recovery (Wong & Lai, 2022); vaccination coverage, social distancing rules and COVID‐19 death rate affect tourism recovery (Okafor & Yan, 2022); implementing public–private partnership governance to support the tourism sector's recovery (Wan et al, 2022); business recovery (Nguyen et al, 2022); the postcrisis recovery (Aguiar‐Quintana et al, 2022; Campiranon & Scott, 2014); COVID‐19 economic policy response on tourism recovery (Okafor et al, 2022); post‐COVID‐19 recovery of island tourism using smart tourism (Bulchand‐Gidumal, 2022); tourism recovery strategies during major crises (Raki et al, 2021); tourism as an economic recovery factor (Dogru & Bulut, 2018; Zhao et al, 2023); forecasting tourism recovery (Zhang et al, 2021); tourism recovery and the economic impact (Scarlett, 2021) and government support, plans for tourism recovery (Niewiadomski, 2020; Qiu et al, 2020; Sharma et al, 2021). The current literature on tourism recovery lacks consideration of the role of destination characteristics in crisis recuperation.…”

Throughout history, the tourism industry has encountered diverse crises, each with its distinct characteristics. While the nature of these crises may evolve, the inevitability of their occurrence persists. Given the unpredictability of such events, understanding recovery factors for tourism destinations becomes crucial for swift recuperation. This study employed a destination recovery measurement model, visualised through Geographic Information System and GeoDA, focusing on Iran's 31 provinces. Indicators including tourism density, capacity, investment, accommodation, employment rate and destination type, in conjunction with COVID‐19 cases, were utilised to gauge recovery status. The spatial distribution of the destination recovery index was analysed, revealing nonrandom cluster patterns, affirming that recovery is influenced by specific factors rather than occurring haphazardly. Provinces equipped with higher‐factor concentrations demonstrated swifter recovery, while others exhibited less tourism‐related prominence. These findings hold significance for stakeholders encompassing tourism managers, policymakers and governments vested in the sustainability of future tourism destinations.

“…Traveling for revenge has become a dominant touristic behavior worldwide, heralding a rapid rebound in international travel (Okafor et al , 2022). Contrarily, traveling under a government's orders is influenced by several variables, including the organization's easement in lockdown and the safe and sanitary services provided by service providers at the destination.…”

“…Despite having all their fears in mind, pandemic fatigue, alienation sensation and low morale associated with the change in tourist behavior motivated them to experience the adventure of travel post-pandemic (Miao et al , 2022). Recent researchers noted that people plan to increase their risk-taking behavior by assessing the potential benefits and costs (Huang et al , 2023; Okafor et al , 2022). Moreover, the consumption of adventure activities ultimately depends on an individual's attitude (Torres et al , 2022; Zorlu et al , 2022).…”

PurposeUnderpinned by sensation-seeking theory (SST) and regulatory focus theory (RFT), this paper highlights the crucial role of adventurousness in self-protective behavior and future travel avoidance. Furthermore, this paper investigates safety-seeking tendency as a moderator and travel anxiety post-COVID-19 as a mediator.Design/methodology/approachData were gathered from 574 potential visitors to St. Catherine post-COVID-19 and analyzed using Smart-PLS approach.FindingsAdventurousness negatively and significantly affected travel anxiety, while the latter negatively influenced self-protective behavior and positively influenced future travel avoidance. Besides, the findings proved that travel anxiety partially mediated the adventurousness linkage with self-protective behavior and future travel avoidance. Moreover, safety-seeking tendencies dampened travel anxiety's connection with self-protective behavior and future travel avoidance.Practical implicationsThis paper provides valuable insights into travel research in theory and practice to revive tourist attractions post-COVID-19 in developing countries via an adventure tourism pattern. The study helps figure out how to deal with the pandemic and restore the monument of heavenly religions, St. Catherine—sacred mountain peaks, mosques, churches and many monasteries—in addition to its charming and picturesque nature.Originality/valueThe current paper examines a traveler's adventurous nature and post-COVID-19 behavior when visiting St. Catherine and their behaviors related to future avoidance and self-protection. This paper adds the first investigation of travel anxiety and safety-seeking through the lens of SST and RFT theories in the Egyptian tourism context.
