“…Western female travelers from individualist cultures are often characterized as independent and therefore, presumed more likely to embark on solo travel (Yang et al, 2019 ). Research has identified that for women from advanced countries, the key motivations for solo travel in Australia are self-actualization and self-construal (Yang et al, 2022 ). Confronting stereotypes, the motivations of British, Australian, and American female solo travelers are feelings of freedom, autonomy and empowerment, confirmation of their identity, and increased self-esteem (Bianchi, 2016 ).…”

Female solo travel is experiencing a global increase and specifically, gaining popularity in Asia. This study explores how personal values and female solo travel motivation affect travel behavior. Using a sample comprising 381 single females in Taiwan, partial least squares structural equation modeling was utilized to investigate the hypotheses. The results revealed Hypothesis 1 and Hypothesis 3 are supported, which verifies personal internal values significantly affect female solo travel motivation, and are identified as significant factors influencing female solo travel intention. Additionally, Hypothesis 5 is partially support, indicating the female solo travel motivations of escape/relaxation, relationship, and self-actualization contribute to the formation of positive female solo travel intention. As Hypothesis 2 and Hypothesis 4 are unsupported, external values have no impact on female solo travel motivation or any significant effect on female solo travel intention. This research adds to the vast gap in tourism literature by identifying the personal values and motivations of female solo travel, and benefits the development of the female solo travel market.

“…Furthermore, Wen et al ( 2020 ) proposed that independent travel will likely increase after the COVID-19 pandemic. Solo travel is an increasingly common tourism option in modern society, even during the COVID-19 pandemic, which presents the travel industry with a great opportunity for recovery post-pandemic (Yang et al, 2022 ).…”

“…Social distancing has made solo travel more desirable [1,2], thereby receiving a boost since the COVID-19 pandemic began [2,3]. Nevertheless, solo travel had already become one of the fastest growing types of tourism in recent years [4][5][6][7], assuming a significant contribution to the travel market [8], estimated to account for 18% of total travel bookings [9,10].…”

“…Despite this, solo travel continues to be an under-researched area in the field of tourism, hospitality, and events [5,8,11,12,14,18,19]. Furthermore, research on solo travel is focused on solo female travel [2,18], neglects the experiences of men [20], and focuses on solo travelers from specific regions [2,6,18,21]. There is also little research on solo travel that compares the motivations of men and women [6].…”

Solo travel continues to be an under-researched area in the field of tourism, hospitality, and events. After the COVID-19 pandemic, it has become necessary to review the knowledge acquired so far. In addition, the 2030 Agenda calls for more studies to understand the relationship between gender and tourism. Because of these facts, and with the aim of analyzing the progress and gaps in academic publications on solo travel in recent years, a bibliometric and content analysis review of the existing scientific literature on solo travel published in Scopus, ProQuest, and the Web of Science in the last 5 years was carried out, focusing the analysis on the gender perspective applied to these investigations. The results showed that research focused on solo travel should increase; this research should segment solo travelers, and comparisons should be realized between those segments and with other tourists who travel accompanied. To do so, a consensual definition of solo travelers is necessary. In addition, research should be extended to other regions and expand the field of analysis beyond motivations, experiences, or constraints. Research focused on solo female travelers should continue because while women cannot travel under the same conditions as men effective gender equality cannot be achieved.

“…Constraint negotiation theories, such as festival event constraints (Boo et al, 2014) and traveling with physical disabilities, have generally been used in travel research (Daniels et al, 2005). In addition, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, Yang et al (2021) explained the consumers' travel intention by integrating constraint negotiation theory and theory of planed behavior. Karl et al (2021) used an extended TCNT model to explore the relationship between restraint, negotiation, and travel behavior.…”

Cruise traveling behavior post-COVID-19: An integrated model of health protection motivation, travel constraint and social learning

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Travel restrictions have harmed the cruise industry as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The goal of this study, which is attributed to permanent changes in the regulatory and social landscape, is to identify and examine the factors influencing post-COVID-19 cruise travel intention. To explain cruise travel intention, we developed a theoretical model incorporating health protection motivation, social learning and travel constraint theories. An online survey was conducted with 400 valid responses collected from Singapore. The theoretical model was estimated using structural equation modeling and the survey data. The findings indicate that (1) observing societal behavior, (2) observing the COVID-19 situation, (3) threat appraisal, and (4) coping appraisal all have a direct influence on travel constraint negotiation. Furthermore, travel constraint negotiation and societal observation have a direct impact on intention. An intriguing finding is that observing the COVID-19 situation has no effect on threat assessment, which can be attributed to pandemic fatigue. The findings allow for a set of recommendations to cruise companies and policymakers for post-COVID-19 cruise industry management.
