“…Wong and Lai (2021) validated that trust in government plays an important role in linking various government enforcement actions against COVID-19 and residents’ willingness to recover tourism. In a word, the literature has reached an agreement that abundant residents face a dilemma between gaining economic benefits by accepting tourists and personal fears that tourism recovery will increase the likelihood of contracting COVID-19 (Kamata, 2022; Rey-Carmona et al, 2023).…”

“…Against this background, researchers have conducted several models to explore the factors affecting residents' attitudes toward tourism during the COVID-19 crisis (Joo et al, 2021;Y. Liu et al, 2022;Rey-Carmona et al, 2023;Ryu et al, 2023;Woosnam et al, 2022;Xu et al, 2022). However, these models are mainly developed based on compensatory control theory (Y. , social exchange theory (Rey-Carmona et al, 2023;Woosnam et al, 2022), theory of planned behavior (Xu et al, 2022), and emotional solidarity theory (Joo et al, 2021).…”

“…On the other hand, tourism cannot completely avoid the interactions between tourists and residents (Tse & Tung, 2022). As a result, tourists carrying the virus are at high risk of spreading COVID-19 to residents during the interactions with locals (Rey-Carmona et al, 2023). Moreover, the long incubation period of COVID-19 and the large number of asymptomatic cases make it difficult for residents to identify and stay away from infected tourists (Joo et al, 2021), which gives rise to the element of residents’ fear of tourists who may carry the virus and thus causes their less hospitable attitudes toward incoming tourists.…”

This study integrates trust in government, fear of COVID-19, and economic dependence on tourism into the protection motivation theory (PMT) framework to predict resident hospitality during the COVID-19 crisis. Structural equation modeling is utilized to analyze 281 questionnaires from destination residents. Findings show that threat severity and threat vulnerability can indirectly reduce resident hospitality through fear of COVID-19, whereas response efficacy and self-efficacy can directly promote resident hospitality. Trust in government can change the levels of threat severity, threat vulnerability, response efficacy, and self-efficacy, which in turn influences fear of COVID-19 and resident hospitality in different ways. Additionally, economic dependence on tourism is found as the most influential predictor of resident hospitality. Theoretically, this study contributes to the literature by developing a comprehensive and novel extended PMT model to understand the formation mechanism of residents’ attitudes during the COVID-19 crisis. Practical implications can help better improve resident hospitality.
