“…For example, Nguyen et al [9] studied the role of trust in government performance on travel intentions in Vietnam. Vukomanovic et al [10] analyzed the decision-making process regarding whether to travel or not during the COVID-19 situation in the USA. People who choose to travel have various factors to consider, such as government policies in each state and safety measures like social distancing and wearing masks, consistent with the study in Nepal by Devkota et al [11], which identified health concerns among tourists during the pandemic.…”

Tourism is the primary source of income for many countries, particularly developing ones. However, due to the impact of the 2019 Coronavirus epidemic, the tourism sector has been significantly affected. This study aims to identify factors that influence motivation and travel frequency. Two scenarios were compared: during COVID-19 and post-COVID-19. The questionnaire was developed based on the Health Belief model. The data collection process involved distributing a comprehensive questionnaire throughout Thailand, with the aim of achieving a fair and balanced representation of respondents from six distinct regions: northern, central, eastern, western, north-eastern, and southern. The study included a total of 2100 participants. Twenty hypotheses were formulated to analyze the relationship between the latent constructs. Factor analysis and Structural Equation Modeling were utilized to analyze the data from the questionnaires. The results from SEM found that the model was consistent with the empirical data. The model of the during COVID-19 pandemic had three supported hypotheses, namely H2d, H5d, and H9d, which were the correlation between tourism motivation and perceived severity, self-efficacy, and outcome expectations, respectively. In the post-COVID-19 pandemic period, seven hypotheses, including H1p, H2p, H3p, H4p, H5p, H9p, and H10p, supported the correlation between intention and perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, self-efficacy, outcome expectations, and frequency. The support for H10p indicated that stimulated motivation could lead to behavioral changes and increase people’s travel frequency. This study proposes policy recommendations and public relations guidelines to encourage more frequent travel.

With the widespread of COVID-19 in the Padang city, the local government is increasingly conducting outreach to the public so they don't carry out activities outside the home (Dianat et al, 2022;Naseri et al, 2023), organize worship in places of worship (Dahlan et al, 2021;Makridis, 2022), and travel (Ancheta et al, 2023;Hossain et al, 2023;Vukomanovic et al, 2022), both within and outside the city.…”
