“…(2022) revealed that risk perceptions for Wuhan visiting, the starting point of the pandemic, can be explained by health, financial, social and performance factors. In another study, Lee et al . (2021) classified the internal perceptions of COVID-19 risk among Koreans who cancelled overseas trips.…”

“…Another important theoretical contribution of the study is that risk perception at local festivals does not have a significant effect on life satisfaction as an event experience outcome when pandemic measures continue. Research conducted in 2020, the year the pandemic began, has shown that participants'/tourists' risk perceptions of contracting the disease affect their service preferences, attitudes and behaviours (Zhan et al ., 2022; Rather, 2021; Lee et al , 2021; Park et al , 2022). This research, whose field studies were carried out at the end of 2021, points out that the impact of the pandemic has decreased in the eyes of the participants.…”

“…For example, Zhan et al (2022) revealed that risk perceptions for Wuhan visiting, the starting point of the pandemic, can be explained by health, financial, social and performance factors. In another study, Lee et al (2021) classified the internal perceptions of COVID-19 risk among Koreans who cancelled overseas trips. According to their results, the types of tourist constraints caused by the pandemic can be explained by worrying about health, potential problems, tourism itself and issues categories.…”

“…The COVID-19 studies on tourism and hospitality confirmed that COVID-19 risk perception is a significant factor that impacts tourist preferences, attitudes and behaviours (Kim and Lee, 2020;Byrd et al, 2021;Zhan et al, 2022;Rather, 2021;Xu et al, 2021;Bae and Chang, 2021;Chi et al, 2022;Lee et al, 2021;Park et al, 2022). However, academic research on festival participants' risk perception during the COVID-19 pandemic is quite limited in event or festival management.…”

PurposeCultural festivals have started to be held face-to-face with masks and distance measures after the gradual lifting of restrictions following the COVID-19 pandemic. On the other hand, the risk of COVID-19 transmission continues. This study aimed to test the relationship between participants' experience quality and life satisfaction and the moderator role of the COVID-19 risk perception in this relationship within the scope of the Festival on Wheels (Gezici Festival) as a cultural festival.Design/methodology/approachThe data were collected by face-to-face and online survey techniques in Ankara, Sinop and Kastamonu cities in the context of the 26th Festival on Wheels. A total of 130 questionnaires were collected, and structural equation modelling was applied to the data analysis.FindingsAccording to the findings, the experience quality with the dimensions of entertainment and escape has a significant effect on life satisfaction. On the other hand, the perceived risk of COVID-19 does not have a statistically significant effect on this relationship.Originality/valueThe results indicate that experience quality directly affects subjective life satisfaction, while the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on event experiences and outcomes has begun to disappear.

“…Meanwhile, COVID-19 has also significantly changed the types of tourism preferences and tourist behaviors ( Kock et al, 2020 ; Lee et al, 2021 ; Yang et al, 2021a , b ). Brouder (2020) stated that in relation to COVID-19, domestic tourists who enjoy traveling in an independent space or enjoying nature-friendly travel are increasing.…”

This study identifies the most important and least important selection attributes in Korean domestic travel during the COVID-19 pandemic. A total of 632 responses were used as the final analysis by conducting a survey of Koreans who have experienced travel in Korea since the outbreak of COVID-19. In order to explain tourists’ domestic travel selection preferences, best-worst scaling was used. As a result of the study, it was found that the destination environment is most important and is considered relatively important in the order of accommodation, major activities, expenditure, and crowdedness. On the other hand, length of stay, transport mode, travel time, and media exposure showed relatively low importance. In a situation where overseas travel is unstable due to the risk of infectious diseases, it is urgent to identify changes in domestic travel trends/factors that are important to tourists and respond to their needs and expectations. This study is academically expanded in that it not only bridges the research gap that previous studies have missed but also considers and ranks the importance of domestic travel factors at the same time.
