“…In times of crisis, there are structural changes in all economic sectors, including the behavior of consumers of services. The COVID-19 pandemic had the strongest impact on business, but also on the psyche and behavior of consumers (Assaf et al, 2021;Božović et al, 2021). Most schools and higher education institutions worked remotely, cafes, bars, pubs and shopping malls were closed.…”

The problem of excessive tourism has overnight become an ideology and a part of the past. With the appearance of the COVID-19 pandemic, the flow of tourist movements was abruptly interrupted, and thus the visits to restaurants. The aim of the research was to determine whether the fear of the users of the pandemic infection affects the intention to visit restaurants. The total number of respondents was 508, in 27 restaurants in the Republic of Serbia. The authors used exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and multiple regression analysis with mediation for data processing. The research concluded that the perceived fears of the respondents may influence the decision to visit restaurants. The importance of research is reflected in the application of results in theory and practice, in order to facilitate business during the pandemic.

“…COVID-19 has generated an avalanche of writings from the community of international tourism and management scholars about its impact on the tourism and hospitality sectors. In addition, the pandemic is triggering changes in research agendas and shifts in the topics of tourism research (Brouder, 2020;Kock et al, 2020;Rogerson and Baum, 2020;Zenker and Kock, 2020;Assaf et al, 2021;Mattei et al, 2021;Persson-Fischer and Liu, 2021). For tourism scholars COVID-19 represents a critical challenge as "research that contributes to industry practice will need to reorient the focus of studies, given that the industry will undoubtedly change with new normal practices in place" (Kwok and Koh, 2021: 386).…”

“…COVID-19 introduces the opportunity to investigate tourism offerings in which smaller-scale, controlled and operated niche products can be established to satisfy the changing demands and needs of consumers. In the post-COVID-19 era the competitiveness and growth of African destinations must hinge, at least in part, upon their capacity to understand and adapt to the new equilibrium at which tourism may reach (Assaf et al, 2021).…”

COVID-19 is a trigger event which is changing the complexion of African tourism and the directions of African tourism research. This article offers an overview and commentary on the state of African research produced during the uncertain times of 2020-2021 in specific response to the immediate impacts and changes which have been catalysed by the pandemic. The article is a progress report to capture and profile the body of focussed contributions on COVID-19 and tourism which have appeared for sub-Saharan Africa. Further, it is a contribution towards strengthening our understanding of tourism and change in the Global South. Overall, the discussion serves to highlight an emerging African scholarship which is engaged on a range of issues around three core themes of ramification, adaptation and transformation.

“…Since potentially social isolation rules, changes in individuals' daily lives, and travel restrictions may have transformed the impact of travel motivations on intention to leisure travel (Çolakoğlu, Yurcu & Avşar, 2021). In the same way, the pandemic raises questions regarding domestic tourism and its role in the short-term and long-term recovery of the tourism industry (Assaf, Kock & Tsionas, 2021).…”

Risk is fundamental in the choice, evaluation, and behaviour of tourists, consequently understanding tourists’ shifting preferences toward a destination is imperative in the post-COVID era. Thus, this study aims to examine the impact of push motivations on the intention to travel to a European and domestic destination, analyse the interrelated effects between components of risk perception, test the moderating effect of risk perception and investigate the influence of gender and educational level. Based on 1315 tourists and using structural equation modelling, it was possible to find that (1) the motivation to relax and acquire knowledge, and the perception of the destination as safe are predictors of domestic travel; (2) the motivation to acquire knowledge and the risk perception as similar between European and domestic trips positively influence the intention to travel to European destination; (3) travel risk and, indirectly, safety concerns and social risk are deterrent factors of travel intentions; (4) risk perception doesn’t affect the reason why people travel; and (5) gender doesn’t affect travel motivation, intentions or risk perception, but education level enhances the negative effect of social risk. Mostly, this study adds to the literature by detailing how different motivations and risk perceptions affect travel intentions.
