The novel coronavirus pneumonia has seriously affected the development of tourism in China and even the whole world. Combining the current situation of China's mitigation and the gradual recovery of tourism, this paper puts the research perspective on tourists' travel intention, and constructs a new theoretical structure by using TPB theory, adding two elements of emotion and desire to travel. The results show that: 1) Subject norms and perceived behavioral control have no significant impact on tourists' desire to travel; 2) Tourists' emotion has a significant positive impact on tourists' desire to travel, and the desire to travel has a significant positive impact on tourists' travel intention. According to the results of the study, this paper will further put forward corresponding suggestions for the relevant management departments to guide and enhance tourists' travel intention, so as to promote the overall recovery process of China's tourism industry.

“…These types of volitional and nonvolitional dimensions are the key components of the TPB [ 15 , 16 , 17 ]. This sociopsychological theory has a strong prediction power for a broad range of traveler behaviors, which assist researchers and practitioners to better understand the traveler decision formations for these types of behaviors [ 14 , 15 , 18 ].…”

The tourism industry has been seriously suffering from the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) crisis ever since its outbreak. Given this pandemic situation, the major aim of this study is to develop a conceptual framework that clearly explains the US international tourists’ post-pandemic travel behaviors by expanding the theory of planned behavior (TPB). By utilizing a quantitative process, the TPB was successfully broadened by incorporating the travelers’ perceived knowledge of COVID-19, and it has been deepened by integrating the psychological risk. Our theoretical framework sufficiently accounted for the US tourists’ post-pandemic travel intentions for safer international destinations. In addition, the perceived knowledge of COVID-19 contributed to boosting the prediction power for the intentions. The associations among the subjective norm, the attitude, and the intentions are under the significant influence of the tourists’ psychological risks regarding international traveling. The comparative criticality of the subjective norm is found. Overall, the findings of this study considerably enhanced our understanding of US overseas tourists’ post-pandemic travel decision-making processes and behaviors.

“…This study examines three components from the theory of planned behavior ( Ajzen, 1991 ) including cognition, behavioral control, and planned behaviors (see Table 1 for measures). The theory of planned behavior provides theoretical and empirical support for direct and indirect pathways where: (1) individual beliefs and experiences precede behavioral control, attitudes, and norms; and (2) behavioral control, attitudes, and norms precede planned and actual behaviors ( Ajzen, 1991 ; Ulker-Demirel & Ciftci, 2020 ). Attitudes and norms were beyond the exploratory scope of the study.…”

“…Attitudes and norms were beyond the exploratory scope of the study. A literature review of 259 publications note the theory's validity to assess travel and tourism behaviors ( Ulker-Demirel & Ciftci, 2020 ). Accordingly, this study builds on recent COVID-19, tourism, and recreation research (e.g., Li et al, 2020 , n = 969; Rice et al, 2020 , n = 823) to offer perspectives about camping.…”
