“…Likewise, the perceived risk associated with COVID-19 has a positive effect on travel evading behavior (Gupta et al, 2021). However, the study found that perceived risk from epidemic negatively affects the tourist's future travel intention (Hanafiah et al, 2021). A recent study found that if the tourist has high perceived risk (Physical risk, equipment risk, cost risk, social risk, performance risk and psychological risk) that negatively affect the travel intention (Jiang et al, 2022), Also study found that risk aversion negatively affects the travel intention (Jiang et al, 2022).…”

“…We found that most of the empirical research was carried out in Indonesia (n 5 12) (Afriani and Sugiarto, 2020;Alwi et al, 2022;Azis et al, 2020;Bustan and Setiawan, 2021;Kadir et al, 2020;Lemy et al, 2020;Pinem et al, 2021;Sianipar et al, 2021;Sihotang and Sukaatmadja, 2021;Sitinjak et al, 2021;Sukaatmadja et al, 2022;Zainuddin et al, 2022). After that, 7 studies were based on the data collected from China (Agyeiwaah et al, 2021;Cai et al, 2021a;Han et al, 2021;Hu and Xu, 2021;Jiang et al, 2022;Riestyaningrum et al, 2020;Zeng and Li, 2021) followed by the Malaysia (n 5 5) (Ahmad et al, 2021a, b;Hanafiah et al, 2021;Ramli et al, 2021;Tiam Chin et al, 2021) and India (n 5 4) (Gupta et al, 2021;Kour et al, 2021;Rather, 2021a, b) and in Korea (n 5 4) (Shin et al, 2022;Sinha and Nair, 2021;Yoo et al, 2022;Yu et al, 2021).

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to examine the drivers and barriers of travel behavior associated with tourist behavior during/post-COVID-19 pandemic to provide a knowledge base as well as an agenda for future research.Design/methodology/approachThe authors utilized the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) technique for searching the articles published in Web of Science (WOS) and Scopus, to identify the main drivers and barriers affecting the tourist behavior during/post-COVID-19 pandemic. Eventually, 47 articles were chosen for the final analysis.FindingsThe findings are reported in three sections, (1) quantitative research profile, (2) qualitative synthesis and (3) future agenda. This study addresses the nuanced questions regarding the significant change in tourist travel behavior, emotional dynamics and a detailed understanding of mechanisms, such as which drivers and barriers affect tourist behavior in a particular destination. Drivers and barriers to tourist travel behavior were characterized in personal-related, destination-related, and health-related factors. Moreover, this study provides thought-provoking ideas in theory, policy and practice in the field of tourism and hospitality.Research limitations/implicationsThis study has three limitations, as follows. First, the authors searched only two databases, Scopus and Web of Science, due to which the authors might be missing some related studies existing on the other databases. Although these databases provide an extensive range of academic literature, further studies could extend the data collection from the other databases (e.g. via Taylor & Francis). However, our systematic literature review (SLR) coverage is quite extensive, since journals are listed on these three main databases. Second, the authors followed a main study search protocol based on the synonyms and related keywords, however, some of the studies that may be related to the tourist behavior towards the destination are missing on account of the lack of our keywords in there, title, author, keyword and abstract. Furthermore, future research could endeavor to add other keywords to expand the results of studies. Third, although the accurate analysis was conducted to reduce subjectivity in identifying themes for drivers and barriers of tourist behavior, future studies on categorization could work to ensure that other sub-themes categorize.Practical implicationsThe recent study has some key practical implications. First, this study is valuable for all the stakeholders in a unique way, including destination managers, academicians and policymakers, because it provides insight into barriers and drivers that influence the development of tourist behavior towards the destination. Second, the current study also offers practical implications for people involved in tourism service industries including governments and private businesses. Policymakers and other leaders are increasingly interested in harnessing the economic potential of tourism. Therefore, identifying the barrier which is inhibiting the tourist traffic towards the destination is beneficial to understand and effectively develop strategies to minimize the effect of such factors. Moreover, drivers and barriers of tourist behavior towards the destination in the COVID-19 pandemic situation towards the destination may help to create a framework for the development of destinations according to the current vulnerable situation. Third, current findings suggest that tourism marketers understand the drivers and barrier constructs found in this study and tailor their marketing strategies for attracting existing and new tourists. For instance, marketers should understand the drivers and barriers of tourist behavior for effective strategy development to increase the positive effect of drivers and to reduce the negative effect of barriers.Originality/valueThis is the first systematic literature review on the impact of drivers and barriers of tourist travel behavior. This paper analyses the methods and approaches that have been used in the previous literature to examine the drivers and barriers of tourist travel behavior. The paper ends with the research implication and limitations of the studies.

“…All constructs were reliable since the reliability values exceed the minimum limit of 0.7 (Hair et al, 2019). The item loadings and AVE statistics of each reflective indicator were higher than the recommended threshold (Hair et al, 2011;Hanafiah et al, 2021), illustrating achieved convergent validity for all variables. To examine discriminant validity, Heterotrait-Monotrait (HTMT) ratio of the correlation was used.…”

This research explores the interrelationships between overtourism impacts, perceived man-made risk and revisit intention among tourists visiting Melaka UNESCO World Heritage Site (WHS). The aim of the study is to illustrate the overutilization of destination resources and subsequent human risk that shape tourist behavioural from the outlooks of sustainable and tourism impacts. Five hundred and ninety-three responses were quantitatively collected through an online data collection. Partial least square structural equation modelling (PLSSEM) is employed to investigate the research hypotheses. It can be reported overtourism impacts have positive and significant influence on the perceived man-made risks. However, this is not the case for the relationship between overtourism impacts on revisit intention, and the perceived man-made risk on the latter construct. This renders the potential mediation role of perceived man-made risk as insignificant. The findings heighten the unique dynamics of overtourism within developing WHS planning in shaping tourist revisit intention.

“…While this has been an unexcepted winter for the airline industry, special attention should be paid to passengers so that airline companies can adopt different strategies to recover in this unique period. With the decrease of the COVID-19 cases and removal of travel restrictions in 2021, customers’ travel needs revived ( Hanafiah et al, 2021 ). Nevertheless, most travelers still keep vigilant about the healthy precautions ( Matiza & Kruger, 2021 ).…”
