Development of a Post-Pandemic Socio-Cultural International Tourism Conceptual Model

Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to review the technology-related religious pilgrimage literature and develop a conceptual model for analyzing tourist consumer behavior after the coronavirus pandemic is over. Religion, pilgrimages, technology, eco-tourism, environmental conservation, and service quality are contemporary factors that require integration in order to better understand tourism behavior and thereby develop better tourism products for the future. Twenty-two factors were developed and proposed for a future socio-cultural tourism model. The results will be of interest to international tourism researchers, government data collection agencies, product designers, and market stakeholders.
