A mindful shift: an opportunity for mindfulness-driven tourism in a post-pandemic world

Abstract: Many see the COVID-19 pandemic as a turning point for tourism, a chance to reflect on the pressing environmental and socio-economic concerns of the industry, and an opportunity to pinpoint a more desirable direction. However, for tourism to revive as a less impactful and more meaningful industry, more mindful consumers are needed to take factual benefits from the gravity of the current situation. Mindfulness as a practice of bringing a certain quality of attention to moment-by-moment experiences has become an … Show more

“…Many reports show a surge in the public's trust in technology, their readiness to connect, and their willingness to change their attitudes toward technology. People have now started ignoring privacy issues to get a more significant technology benefit ( Stankov et al, 2020 ). Gretzel et al (2020) has presented the “six transformative e-tourism research pillars” for bringing in changes in e-tourism by proactively using IT resources for short-term and long-term purposes.…”

“…Reflecting on the need to reconsider global mobility Renaud (2020) proposes alternative tourism development pathways which are aligned to the principles of deglobalisation and degrowth of the industry. For tourism transformation to occur Benjamin et al (2020) call for an actionable commitment to equity, Gretzel et al (2020) for transformative e-Tourism research, Stankov et al (2020) for more 'mindful' consumers, and Carr (2020b) for the incorporation of diverse cultural values, including from indigenous peoples, in order to ensure more equitable tourism futures. Everingham & Chassagne (2020) advocate a shift away from capitalist growth models for tourism and instead redirecting priorities away from simply economic growth and instead towards enhanced environmental and social well-being.…”

“… Hong and Handal (2020) are noted for their expertise in psychiatry and have recently recognized the role of religion on forming psychological resilience and health during the COVID-19 pandemic. Similarly, Stankov, Filimonau, and Vujičić (2020) have garnered attention for examining how mindfulness-driven tourism may improve tourist wellness and sustainability after the COVID-19 pandemic eventually subsides. This study serves as an initial step in that same direction by encouraging future research investigations into the benefits of mindfulness and Zen in tourism.…”
