“…To a large extent, our findings well echo Ribeiro et al (2017) in a different context. Moreover, the unique value of this study is more apparent when compared with the works that studied residents' attitudes toward tourism during the COVID-19 but did not consider the role of residents' economic dependence on tourism (e.g., Joo et al, 2021;Y. Liu et al, 2022;Ryu et al, 2023).…”

“…For example, on the basis of emotional solidarity theory, Joo et al (2021) found that the influence of perceived risk of COVID-19 on residents’ intentions to support tourism is mediated by the three dimensions of emotional solidarity. Drawing on compensatory control theory, Y. Liu et al (2022) indicated that threat perceptions of COVID-19 can indirectly affect residents’ support for tourism through the construct of “need to belong.” Furthermore, Woosnam et al (2022) empirically argued that residents’ pro-tourism behaviors are affected by their trust in government and economic benefits from tourism.…”

“…In comparison with existing models, the overall theoretical model conducted in this study has the following major contributions. First, although previous studies have extensively explored the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on residents' attitudes toward tourists (S. Li et al, 2022;Y. Liu et al, 2022), they merely addressed residents' threat appraisals (i.e., threat severity and threat vulnerability) but failed to address residents' coping appraisals (i.e., response efficacy and self-efficacy).…”

“…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).…”

“…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. Liu et al, 2022), 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).…”

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.
