“…Certain technological applications were regarded as effective measures that could reduce human service contact in coping with COVID-19 infections, and thus, the impact of these technological applications on consumer behaviours was examined. These technological applications include virtual reality tourism (Itani and Hollebeek, 2021), artificial intelligence/ robot services (Chuah et al, 2022;Li et al, 2022aLi et al, , 2022b, food delivery apps and drone delivery of food (Kim et al, 2021c;Zhao and Bacao, 2020).…”

Purpose This study aims to provide a timely review of the COVID-19-related empirical research published in 19 quartile one (Q1) and quartile two (Q2) tourism and hospitality journals in social science citation index (SSCI). Design/methodology/approach A total of 407 COVID-19-related empirical papers were collected from the 19 SSCI Q1 and Q2 tourism and hospitality journals via Scopus database. Thematic content analysis was supplemented with Leximancer software to identify the research themes/subthemes, research methods and countries/regions of research. Findings The study found studies of COVID-19’s impact on consumer behaviour predominate in number, followed by studies on response actions and recovery strategies, impact on industry or sectors and impact on workers and employees. Based on the research themes identified, a knowledge mapping framework was produced. Over 70% of the studies used quantitative methods with quantitative survey as the dominant method of data collection. The USA and China were found to be the most studied countries. Research limitations/implications The study reviewed empirical research papers until January 2022 and covered most of the COVID-19-related empirical works in the field. An overview of the current state of COVID-19-related empirical research was provided with some critical discussions and suggestions for future research topics. Originality/value The findings give researchers a clear index for the current state of the art of COVID-19 research in hospitality and tourism. The paper provides practical implications for industry practitioners to retrieve relevant knowledge from the recent COVID-19-related literature in tourism and hospitality in coping with practical challenges brought by the COVID-19 pandemic.

“…First, this research clarified the factors influencing people’s differences in movement patterns within a destination during the COVID-19 pandemic. The previous research described how people’s movement patterns changed after the outbreak of COVID-19 (Falk et al , 2022; Li et al , 2022). Little is known about what leads people to make an unusual spatial decision during the pandemic.…”

Purpose This study aims to explain how the impact of COVID-19 on human mobility is affected by the perceived risk of the pandemic. Design/methodology/approach Using a statistical analysis and a geographic visualization technique, we investigate whether and how changes in people’s restaurant visiting patterns during COVID-19 vary with their level of risk perception. Findings The changes in people’s restaurant visiting patterns vary with their risk perception: the tendency to increase the number of visits to restaurants located in non-popular areas is related to the level of perceived risk. Originality/value This research confirms the importance of risk perception when examining the pandemic’s multi-dimensional impacts.

“…Shao et al, analyzed the influencing factors of international tourism flow and found that safety concerns, transportation accessibility or small populations had a strong impact on inbound tourism flow in Africa [13]. In addition, other factors such as the global and national economic situation and public health events represented by COVID-19 will also have an impact on tourism flows [13,27]. However, some scholars have found that allowing a greater flow of tourists will lead to over-tourism and environmental degradation in destinations, thus hindering the overall sustainability of tourism [28,29].…”

This study’s purpose was to analyze the network structural characteristics, nodal roles, spatial structure, and evolution laws from the dual network perspective, and apply the Quadratic Assignment Procedure (QAP) to conduct correlation analysis and regression analysis on the influencing factors of tourism flow networks in the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomerations. Using a mixed-method of social network and spatial analysis, Ucinet and ArcGIS software were used to comprehensively analyze the nodes in the travel routes covered in travel notes. The results show that the density of tourism flow network increases on the whole, while the spatial difference decreases, and the overall network density value is much lower than the average of the network density of provinces. Degree centrality, closeness centrality, betweenness centrality and the core–periphery structure analysis were used to examine the tourism function, distribution function, connection function and the position of nodes in the network, and nodes were divided into various types of roles according to their function. Meanwhile, the role changes of each node in different periods were also investigated. This study also builds an evaluation model of the influencing factors of the evolution of tourism flow network structure and uses QAP to find that the tourism network is affected by factors such as tourism resource endowment, transportation convenience, economic development level, tourism reception and service capacity. The research results are helpful for the Chinese government and tourism enterprises to understand the spatial behavior of tourists and its evolution rules, and to clarify the role and status of node cities in the tourism flow network and their influencing factors. It is of great significance for the formulation of joint marketing measures and promotion of the sustainable development of tourism in the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration.
