“…More specifically, this study aims to examine the relative importance of attributes for Korean domestic travel where the tourism market and form are completely changing due to COVID-19. Although many studies analyzing the selection attributes of domestic travel were conducted before COVID-19 ( Bujosa et al, 2015 ; Fakfare et al, 2020 ; Campos-Soria et al, 2021 ), this analysis needs to be re-conducted ( Toyama, 2021 ). This is because, when a special circumstance such as the era of new infectious diseases is studied, not only new selective attributes will emerge, but also existing attributes, such as accommodation and destination environment that are related to hygiene and infection, are highlighted ( Pappas and Glyptou, 2021 ).…”

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.

“…Trends (pre-pandemic) indicated that travellers (particularly international arrivals) are travelling more conscientiously (WEF [World Economic Forum], 2020; Dunne, 2018), and research evidence shows that future travel behaviour of travellers is expected to be more environmentally conscious and pro-sustainable tourism-oriented (Kruger & Viljoen, 2021; Matiza & Kruger, 2021). As domestic tourism is expected to recover first (Toyama, 2021), nature-based attractions such as zoos can significantly enhance visitors’ pro-environmental intentions and conservation awareness (Skibins & Powell, 2013).…”

Purpose Zoos are important urban tourism attractions. The challenge for zoos is finding a balance between attracting visitors and enhancing education and conservation management. This research contributes to a greater understanding of the conservation intentions of zoo visitors and how zoos can emphasise conservation management principles sustainably. This study aims to identify the variables that encourage conservation intentions among visitors to a South African zoo. Design/methodology/approach A destination-based survey was conducted in 2019 at the Johannesburg Zoo, and 445 questionnaires were administered through convenience sampling. Findings Exploratory factor analyses identified visitors’ conservation awareness because of zoos (pre-conscious, conscious and unconscious), behavioural intentions (advocating and supporting), motives (engagement, edutainment and escapism) and satisfaction (interaction and facility quality, and service and interpretation quality). The behavioural intentions were the dependent variables. Advocating conservation intentions (ACI) is an active role where zoo visitors feel a strong responsibility towards conservation and encourage others to the conservation cause. Supporting conservation intentions (SCI) relates more to loyalty towards visiting the zoo and subsequently supporting conservation. Stepwise linear regression analyses revealed that enhancing ACI relies on SCI, edutainment, conscious awareness, service and interpretation quality and total spending. However, enhancing SCI relies on ACI, interaction and facility quality and the motive, escapism, while engagement revealed a negative relationship. Originality/value The results show that zoos can encourage SCI to ACI by using interactive and entertaining interpretations to teach visitors about the zoo’s mandate and the importance of conservation while balancing their need to escape.
