“…Thus, several important aspects taken into account by travelers were health and hygiene and the COVID-19 situation in and around their considered destination [18][19][20]. Similar to the pre-pandemic period, economic factors are still playing an important role in decisionmaking, partly due to the economic uncertainties the population was subjected to during the pandemic [18][19][20][21].…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly altered consumer behavior and reshaped the tourism industry, particularly impacting travel destination choices. Pre-pandemic, travelers prioritized experiences and adventure, often overlooking health and safety concerns. However, during and after the pandemic, health, hygiene, and the COVID-19 situation emerged as crucial factors in choosing a rural destination, alongside economic considerations. The current study analyzed the tourists’ preferences in the North-West development region of Romania when choosing a rural destination. An online survey was conducted, and 563 questionnaires were validated in the end. The principal component analysis used to analyze the collected data led to a two-factor solution: “sanitary and administrative” and “economic and social”. Comparative analysis based on age showed significant differences in education, income, and family composition between Generation Y and Generation Z. Preferences for domestic destinations and participation in festivals were higher among Generation Z, while interest in international travel was comparable between the generations. These findings provide insights into the evolving travel behaviors and preferences of different age groups in the wake of the pandemic.

“…Fourth, the proposed model can also be enriched by adding brand personality traits (Maehle et al , 2011) to the chef image construct and assessing how customers identify with this expanded definition. Fifth, additional investigations are needed to verify whether the model works in scenarios in which happiness and well-being are substituted by other behavioural constructs such as intention to repeat (Gupta et al , 2022; Ruiz-Equihua et al , 2023), positive word of mouth (Allard et al , 2020) or human brand love (Guèvremont, 2021).…”

Purpose This study aims, first, to understand consumers’ perception of chefs as human brands (i.e. study one). Second, tests were run to assess the validity of a new conceptual model of the relationships between the factors of chef image, luxury restaurant image, both images’ congruity and consumers’ hedonic and novelty experiences and happiness and well-being (i.e. study two). Design/methodology/approach The first qualitative study involved using Leximancer software to analyse the data drawn from 43 interviews with luxury restaurant clients. In the second quantitative study, 993 valid survey questionnaires were collected, and the proposed model was tested using structural equation modelling. Findings The results reveal that consumers perceive chefs as human brands and the associated narratives include both performance- and popularity-based characteristics. The findings support the conclusion that individuals give great importance to chefs’ image and the congruence between chefs and their restaurant’s image. In addition, luxury restaurant image only affects novelty experiences, and both hedonic and novelty experiences have a positive effect on customers’ happiness and well-being. Research limitations/implications This research focused on Portuguese luxury restaurants. The consumers’ happiness and well-being needs to be replaced by other outcomes to confirm if the model produces consistent results. Practical implications The results should help luxury restaurant managers understand more fully which pull factors are valued by their clients and which aspects contribute the most to their pleasure and welfare. Originality/value This study adds to the extant literature by exploring consumers’ perceptions of chefs as human brands and the role these chefs’ image play in customers’ luxury restaurant experiences and perceived happiness and well-being.

“…Tourism demand can be influenced by multiple factors, including social media attachment (Song & Abukhalifeh, 2021), safety, hygiene, connectivity, availability of information, currency exchange rates (Gupta, Shukla, & Pandiya, 2022), gross domestic product, and the number of beds (Borrego-Domínguez, Isla-Castillo, & Rodríguez-Fernández, 2022) at the tourist destination. In addition, other well-known country-specific factors including culture, infrastructure, natural beauty, people's attitude, population, education, trade, income, commodity prices, and languages, can positively and negatively impact the tourism industry in the world (Khan et al, 2020).…”

Vietnam's tourism industry has been one of the economy's key growth drivers for years. This study examines the relationship between international tourist arrivals, bilateral trade, and income in Vietnam by applying a cointegration model with the panel data of Vietnam and its major global tourism markets. The results show that export and per capita income significantly influence Vietnam's international tourist arrivals from 2008 to 2019. The study also uses causality techniques to test for the direction of causality and found a two-way causal effect from exports and income to international tourist arrivals. These findings suggest that future economic policy should focus more on tourism and trade-related to sustain the growth of the tourism industry and generate more foreign exchange earnings for Vietnam.
