“…On the other hand, demographic change today creates both new challenges and new opportunities for tourism development [12]. The studies of tourists' behaviors increasingly focus on specific population groups, such as Generation Z [13][14][15]. However, the research on the impact of the pandemic on tourism activities from the perspective of these young people is inadequate.…”

Understanding the influencing mechanism of the COVID-19 pandemic on the public’s travel intentions is key to creating effective strategies to restore and enhance confidence in tourism. Based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB), an extended model was proposed to investigate the Chinese Generation Z’s perception of risk and its effect on the consequences of behavioral process toward wellness tourism. A total of 727 respondents were surveyed by using an online questionnaire. The relationships among the perceptions of risks, three key explanatory variables (attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control) in the TPB, and wellness tourism intention were evaluated. This study verified that both the perceived health risk and the perceived psychological risk negatively impacted the wellness tourism intentions of Gen Z. Attitude is a partial mediator between subjective norms, perceived behavior control, and travel intentions, respectively. The findings are discussed from the perspective of the theoretical and managerial implications, as well as of future research directions.

“…For example, Chan (2006) examined Chinese tourists' interactions with the Vietnamese host community in border tourism, documenting a new host-guest relation between two non-Western parties. Qiu et al (2017) reported that history and war may not be a prominent factor for young Chinese when it comes to traveling to Japan. Studies like this may challenge existing knowledge and framework in tourism that have long expressed Eurocentric views.…”

The Chinese outbound market exerts a substantial economic impact on the Japanese tourist industry. Yet history-inspired disputes between the two nations often cause fluctuations in the market. Through a qualitative inquiry with 27 interviewees, this study explores how the Chinese Cohort 60's memories of, and emotions toward, Japan have evolved in the past 60 years and how the interplay of memories and emotions explain the cohort's intention to visit Japan. Three subgroups emerged from the interview data, which exhibited different degrees of travel intention that were attributable to the variation of their memories of Japan. While all three subgroups held the declarative memory of the anti-Japanese war, regions of interviewees' origin and their family histories were found to be significantly related to their distinctive emotions toward Japan. A Memory-Emotion-Time framework is developed that illustrates how memory and emotion influence one's travel decisions in the context of history.

“…Destination image as a mediator in previous studies is also a valuable concept to aid our understanding of consumers' decision-making processes. This is not only demonstrated as an antecedent of behavior intentions [90] but is also affected by the consumer's perception of the quality of the consumption experience [91]. For instance, researchers have examined the theoretical relationships between service quality, perceived value, experi-ence quality, and revisit intentions, and found the mediating effect of destination image in those relationships [92,93].…”

Considering the public health crisis induced by the COVID-19 disease, hot spring tourism has attracted more people who want to compensate for this themselves and seek restoration of health. Research regarding consumer experience and their psychological restoration from compensatory travel activities is lacking. To address this gap, a conceptual model is developed that links the compensatory experience quality and the perceived restorative value. The model was assessed using a sample of 631 tourists who visited hot spring resorts in the post-pandemic environment. Our findings confirm the positive influence of the quality of compensatory experience (CEQ) on perceived restorativeness (PR). In particular, the cognitive image and affective image partially mediated the effect of CEQ on PR. These research findings provide both theoretical contributions and managerial implications on hot spring destination management and marketing.
