The global COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the Nepalese hotel industry due to government-imposed lockdowns and travel restrictions. This led to decreased earnings, higher unemployment, and a noticeable shift in guest behavior. In this context, the study analyzes the impact of COVID-19 on guest behavior towards the hotel industry in the Kathmandu Valley. This study utilizes an explanatory research design and gathers data from 260 participants through structured questionnaires, administered with the assistance of the KOBO Toolbox within the Kathmandu Valley. Inferential analysis was conducted using an ordered logistic model. The findings indicate that the pandemic has indeed had an impact on guest behavior within the hotel industry. Additionally, factors such as gender, education level, profession, reference group, security, attitude, and beliefs play a significant role in shaping guest behavior toward the hotel industry. We also find that most individuals visit hotels for personal reasons, and guests generally have a moderate level of awareness regarding COVID-19. In conclusion, hotels should enhance their services and maintain a hygienic environment to address these issues. In this regard, this study will benefit researchers, the hotel industry, the travel and tourism sector, policymakers, marketing agencies, and more.

Cultural tourism is critical to the growth of destinations all over the world. Cultural activities and events, as well as existing local historical and cultural assets or cultural capital, shopping, and event attractions, are all believed to play a key role in the nations' cultural and economic development. In the Nepalese context, cultural tourism is widely discussed for the potential development of local and indegenous communities. Thus, the research aims to identify Newari Community’s attitude toward promoting cultural tourism development in Kathmandu Valley. Newari community people from Kathmandu valley were taken as a population, a total of 280 individuals were taken as a sample, and data were collected using a structured questionnaire. The attitude level of Newari people was measured using the attitude index. The Ordered Logistic Model was used to test the factors determining the Newari community's attitude towards promoting cultural tourism development. The result revealed that the Newari community is highly aware of cultural tourism development. Further, regression result shows that monthly income, employment opportunities, a wide variety of cultural activities, developed partnership, pride of local residents, sufficient information, cost of living, a problem with parking or traffic, and household employed in art and cultural activities statistically influence attitude level of Newari community to promote cultural tourism development. Hence, the Newari community should focus on promoting cultural tourism development through conservation, protection, and development of cultural management.

Conducting research in the field of consumer purchasing behaviour gained an attention during the period of the COVID-19 pandemic. The authors of this study decided to focus their attention on selected factors influencing tourism. Since consumer purchasing behaviour is a broad topic, only selected factors that influence tourism demand are addressed. The expected research result is an insight into consumer behaviour in selected international catering establishments in Czechia. Moreover, at a time when the COVID pandemic is slowly fading, purchasing behaviour is becoming increasingly important. The aim of this contribution was to find the factors that most influence the choice of selected tourism facilities in Czechia. Among the key factors that influence the choice of international catering establishments in the Czech Republic, the majority of customers consider the atmosphere of the establishment, the opinion of friends, the right choice of music, and the location of the restaurant as the most important based on their preferences. A more detailed analysis of the survey results revealed that more than one-third of men consider the ability to pay by card to be an important factor that influences their choice of international catering establishments and the right choice of music is moderately important for most respondents in terms of their education. The exceptions to this are respondents with a university diploma who mention the factor of the right choice of music for selecting international catering establishments as the most important.
