“…Because the pandemic hinders offline consumption, people have the need for psychological compensation. Wang and Xia (2021) pointed out the “revenge travel phenomenon,” this study revealed the “revenge consumption” before people could go on a real travel. The more people want to consume, the more willing they are to participate in consuming digital museum products.…”

Digital tourism has developed rapidly, especially in museums. However, as people become increasingly familiar with digital museums, their use intentions and behavior have changed. Taking the Digital Palace Museum in China as an example, applying the PLS-SEM method, this study uncovers visitors’ use intentions and actual use behavior for digital museums by integrating the new UTAUT model (UTAUT2) and TTF model (TTF under social distancing) and introduces the PATS (Pandemic Anxiety Travel Scale) model to reveal how pandemic anxiety promotes the transformation of use intentions into use behavior more easily. The results show that performance expectations, hedonic motivations, habits, and task-technology-fit positively affect use intentions for digital museums. However, the price-saving orientation negatively affects use intentions. Pandemic anxiety moderates the effect of use intentions on actual behavior. When travel anxiety is relatively high, use intentions have a greater effect on use behavior for digital museums. The results reveal the influencing factors on use intentions of digital museums and the moderating effect of pandemic anxiety on the relation between use intentions and actual behavior.

“…If after COVID-19 business travelers travel less, and instead spend more time in virtual space (even in the context of working from home), what effect will this have on their need to travel in their free time; to have new experiences; to break out of the (work) routine? If there is an inverse correlation between reducing one's travel for work and travelling for leisure, it would be beneficial to explore if this is perhaps another form of the revenge tourism concept that emerged recently in literature ( Wang & Xia, 2021 ; Wassler & Fan, 2021 ). Somewhat related to this, Dai, Wang, and Kirillova (2022) discuss how COVID-19 also creates opportunities to target potential tourists in a “dreaming about travel” (p. 3) phase, and inspire them to travel.…”

“…With the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic, the world has seen the emergence of new concepts and their integration across academic disciplines. Widespread mental distress and anxiety during the pandemic have led to the birth of the pandemic fatigue concept first in psychology [3,4,6,30], which was subsequently adopted by tourism and hospitality management literature [82][83][84][85][86]. The present study developed and validated a comprehensive model that examined the influence of pandemic fatigue on vaxication intention for GOAT for the first time in tourism literature.…”

The Bridge at the End of the World: Linking Expat’s Pandemic Fatigue, Travel FOMO, Destination Crisis Marketing, and Vaxication for “Greatest of All Trips”

et al. 2022

The rebirth of global tourism with a massive rebound is anticipated due to an emerging touristic behavior coined as vaxication (i.e., post-vaccination travel). Despite the ongoing fatigue triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic, travelers’ fear of missing out (FOMO), and destination crisis marketing (DCM) can further accelerate travelers’ momentum towards vaxication. To address this critical knowledge gap in COVID-19 tourism, the present study aimed to examine the effect of pandemic fatigue on vaxication intention for the greatest of all trips (GOAT) under the moderating influence of travel FOMO and destination crisis marketing. Drawing on data of international expatriates in the United Arab Emirates (N = 356) and using covariance-based structural equation modeling with Mplus, the findings provide new evidence supporting a positive impact of international expat’s pandemic fatigue on vaxication intention for GOAT. Interestingly, this relationship is significantly reinforced by the international expat’s travel FOMO as well as tourism destinations switching gears from ‘managing crisis’ to ‘marketing crisis’. Based on prominent theories (i.e., theory of planned behavior, cognitive load theory, and protection motivation theory) and newly developed scales (i.e., travel FOMO and destination crisis marketing), the study implications are directed towards an outpacing trajectory of global tourism return prompted by pandemic fatigue, travel FOMO, destination crisis marketing, and vaxication intention for the greatest of all trips.
