“…In one of the earliest studies on the topic, Gössling, Scott, and Hall (2020) assessed the impact of the pandemic on the tourism industry including airlines, accommodation, event, restaurant, and cruise sectors, and provided a new perspective on sustainable tourism development in the post-pandemic era. Yousaf (2021) qualitatively developed a multi-dimensional concept of travel burnout from the conservation of resources theory perspective. He insisted that travel psychology, especially negative psychology, is an important domain that needs further scholarly attention in tourism crisis situations.…”

Travel decision determinants during and after COVID-19: The role of tourist trust, travel constraints, and attitudinal factors

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced tourism practitioners to create efficient strategies to attract travelers. Using three theoretical frameworks, such as tourist trust (political, destination, and interactional trust), travel constraint (intrapersonal, interpersonal, and “social distancing” structural constraint), and extended theory of planned behavior (travel attitude, perceived behavioral control, subjective norm, perceived health risk, past travel experience), we develop a comprehensive framework to explain the impact of travel promoting, restricting, and attitudinal factors on travel decision during and after the pandemic. Data was obtained through an extensive survey conducted on 1451 Korean travelers and was analyzed using probabilistic choice models and count models. The results show the specific factors that determine travel decisions during the pandemic (whether to travel and frequency) and travel intention after the pandemic. This study provides important theoretical and practical insights into how to develop successful COVID-19 recovery strategies in the tourism industry.

“…Interesting, although scarce studies address such issues as the tourist's psyche (Kock et al, 2020) and their needs (Madani et al, 2020) during the pandemic, the impact of COVID-19 on the tourist's identity (Zhang et al, 2021) and their satisfaction (Hong et al, 2020), the tourist's intentions to visit tourist attractions virtually (Itani, Hollebeek, 2021), the role of non-pharmaceutical interventions on behavioural intention toward cruise travel or travel burnout (Yousaf, 2021) in the intra-pandemic period. The variety of issues is pervasive.…”

Purpose:The study aims to identify the direction of changes in shopping behaviour regarding package holidays caused by the COVID-19. Design/Methodology/Approach: The research on tourists purchasing travel packages during the COVID-19 was quantitative on a nationwide online panel of respondents (N=1502), characterized by a representative distribution for the general population of Poles. Using the contingency table and correspondence analysis, authors identify purchasing behaviour before and during the pandemic. Findings: The research results indicate significant changes in purchasing package holidays process caused by the COVID-19, particularly on the stage of travel planning (including the search for information and the pattern of closing the purchase of tourist packages)-the conducted analysis allowed to distinguish four segments of buyers during the pandemic and to create their profiles. Practical Implications:The knowledge of changes in travel packages purchasing behaviour is essential for travel agencies to design effective marketing strategies. Originality/Value: The originality and value of the research is based on three pillars: (1) timeliness and importance of the research problems for the travel agency sector, (2) lack of knowledge about the purchasing decision-making process during the pandemic threat, (3) the deficit of quantitative research on the role of online purchase channels versus the traditional ones in making these decisions.

“…An often-overlooked travel situation is being stuck overseas due to unforeseen events. A study with Pakistani pilgrims to Iran, unable to return home, explores the topic of travel burnout [ 81 ]. Where normally spirituality is a source of well-being, pilgrims were confronted with unexpected out-of-their-control situations of border closures, delays, need for food and shelter on top of the fear of becoming infected.…”

“…This leads to in-group conformity and out-group exclusion [124]. However, this exclusion also applies to in-group members who had the misfortune of being caught out at an out-group location, such as Balinese cruise ship workers returning home [102] or Pakistani pilgrims returning from Iran [81]. Having limited or no control over COVID-19-events, people's own locus of control may also attribute blame, for example, on destinations [125] or on marginalised people, such as refugees and asylum seekers [126], and perhaps, in the future, the unvaccinated.…”

In 2020, COVID-19 affected every aspect of life around the globe. The spread of SARS-CoV-2 through travel led to lockdowns, travel bans and border closures, crippling the tourism industry. Without tourists, there would be no tourism industry—and no travel medicine. Therefore, scholars started to research the human aspect of tourism immediately to develop strategies for economic recovery. The resulting insights are useful for travel medicine not only to see how tourism dealt with a medical crisis but also to understand travellers better who may be seeking health advice during and after a pandemic.This article presents tourism research of 2020 covering risk perception and travel intentions including mass-gatherings, the use of technology to protect from infection, impacts on tourism workers, residents’ reactions to potentially infected travellers, discrimination, and racism. A potential fork in the road to tourism’s future may have implications for travel health practitioners. Research recommendations conclude the paper. Understanding the industry response during the early days of panic and uncertainty may help prepare not only appropriate guidelines for travellers but also clearer instructions for tourism, transportation, and hospitality in anticipation of the next pandemic.
