“…Especially for tourism, the fear of infection strongly influences travel behaviors and daily travel activities (e.g., shopping routines, recreational activities, heritage explorations) [ 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 ]; concerns about infection rates and sociodemographic characteristics have been raised as factors influencing travel satisfaction [ 2 , 18 ]. Studies show that cases and deaths in the COVID-19 context are lower in countries where people travel less to other countries [ 8 , 19 , 20 ], while unrestrained mobility significantly accelerates the spread of COVID-19 [ 21 ].…”

This study investigates travel behavior and psychosocial factors that influence it during the COVID-19 pandemic. In a cross-sectional study, using an online survey, we examined changes in travel behavior and preferences after lifting travel restrictions, and how these changes were influenced by exposure to COVID-19, COVID-19 travel-related risk and severity, personality, fear of travel, coping, and self-efficacy appraisals in the Romanian population. Our results showed that participants traveled less in the pandemic year than the year before—especially group and foreign travel—yet more participants reported individual traveling in their home county during the pandemic period. Distinct types of exposure to COVID-19 risk, as well as cognitive and affective factors, were related to travel behavior and preferences. However, fun-seeking personality was the only major predictor of travel intention, while fear of travel was the only predictor of travel avoidance. Instead, people traveled more cautiously when they perceived more risk of infection at the destination, and had higher levels of fear of travel, but also a high sense of efficacy in controlling the infection and problem-solving capacity. The results suggest that specific information about COVID-19, coping mechanisms, fear of travel, and neuropsychological personality traits may affect travel behavior in the pandemic period.

“…Business owners in economically depressed areas may struggle to find customers, capital, or other resources necessary to run long-term, sustainable operations, which could hurt local craftsmanship. As a result, communities might be uprooted, cultural assets destroyed, and traditional crafts and skills disrupted by violence (Cakmak et al, 2021;Roberts, 2023;Manhas et al, 2021). Also, the displacement or dispersion of local populations might make it difficult for social entrepreneurs in the tourism industry recovering handicrafts to save and pass on historical knowledge.…”

This study examines the problems and challenges faced by the tourism social entrepreneurs in Kashmir Valley of the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir, India, which has been witnessing a crisis due to political instability. This research aims to investigate how social entrepreneurship in the tourist industry affects artisans' livelihoods and the different trends in the development of craftsmanship. This research study employs a quantitative methodology and includes a sample size of 259 respondents selected through purposive sampling. The data was analysed utilising SPSS version 25.0, and the results demonstrate that marketing, financial issues, infrastructure deficiencies, and erroneous planning are the main impediments and difficulties faced by social tourism entrepreneurs in Kashmir. Furthermore, the results indicate that social entrepreneurship in the tourism industry can take several forms with effective administration and assistance. These activities may present substantial job prospects for skilled artisans. The findings of this research study can be utilized by academics, professionals, and researchers to formulate ideas and make progress in the field.

“…La mayoría de los estudios consultados indistintamente planteó como objetivo analizar, evaluar, determinar, examinar la percepción de los residentes sobre los impactos del turismo para tomar decisiones oportunas. A partir de lo anterior, numerosos autores utilizaron un muestreo probabilístico aleatorio simple, aplicado a personas de 18 años o más (Brankov et al, 2019;Lekgau & Tichaawa, 2020;Rafi & Herdiansyah, 2020;Manhas et al, 2021). También, aleatorio estratificado proporcional a cada comunidad (Ko & Stewart, 2002;Andereck et al, 2005;Gursoy et al, 2010;Alrwajfah et al, Sari, Munandar & Fatimah, 2018;2019: 7;Brankov et al, 2019).…”

Las comunidades locales juegan un papel fundamental en el desarrollo del turismo, ellas pueden acelerar o retardar los procesos propios de esta actividad y transmiten empatía o apatía hacia el visitante. En tal sentido el artículo muestra un resultado parcial de investigación y tiene como objetivo evaluar los impactos del turismo percibidos por las comunidades del cantón Puerto López, provincia Manabí, Ecuador para el planteamiento de líneas de actuación por los actores turísticos. Se empleó una metodología mixta cuali-cuantitativa y descriptiva a partir de un cuestionario de encuesta semiestructurado con preguntas cerradas tipo escala Likert de cinco puntos y abierta para que los 375 participantes expresasen libremente sus ideas. La revisión bibliográfica, estadística descriptiva y en particular el análisis factorial exploratorio (AFE) y confirmatorio (AFC) permitieron validar los posicionamientos teóricos examinados en el campo de acción de esta investigación. Además, la fundamentación de los hallazgos se hizo con el auxilio de los métodos analítico-sintético y la comparación. Todo el procesamiento se realizó con SPSS versión 25, AMOS versión 23, Excel y ArcGIS la aplicación ArcMap 10.4.1. Los resultados corresponden a la identificación de 16 indicadores base para el diagnóstico y la construcción de un diagrama tipo senderos o vías de modelo de ecuación estructural. Los residentes aprecian el desarrollo de la actividad turística en la comunidad y consideran que los impactos son predominantemente positivos al estar totalmente de acuerdo o de acuerdo con cada indicador. El factor correspondiente a los impactos sociales son los mejor valorados, seguido de los económicos y ambientales en orden consecutivo. Las comunidades están en su mayoría satisfechos con el turismo y desean que este se incremente en la localidad. La participación e inclusión de las comunidades de Puerto López en los procesos de administración del turismo es un aspecto al que hay que prestar atención por el interés que suscita en los residentes y junto al tema ambiental, se abren nuevas brechas para investigaciones futuras y para el desarrollo de ocho líneas de actuación. Local communities play a fundamental role in the development of tourism, they can accelerate or delay the processes of this activity and transmit empathy or apathy towards the visitor. In this sense, the article shows a partial result of research and aims to evaluate the tourism impacts perceived by the communities of the Puerto López canton, Manabí province, Ecuador for tourism stakeholders to develop courses of action. A mixed qualitative-quantitative and descriptive methodology was used, based on a semi-structured survey questionnaire with closed questions on a five-point Likert scale and open questions for the 375 participants to freely express their ideas. The literature review, descriptive statistics and in particular the exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) allowed validation of the theoretical positions examined in the field of action of this research. In addition, the substantiation of the findings was done with the help of the analytical-synthetic and comparative methods. All processing was done with SPSS version 25, AMOS version 23, Excel and ArcGIS ArcMap 10.4.1 application. The results correspond to the identification of 16 base indicators for the diagnosis and the construction of a path or pathway type diagram of structural equation model. Residents appreciate the development of tourism activity in the community and consider the impacts to be predominantly positive by strongly agreeing or agreeing with each indicator. The factor corresponding to social impacts are the most highly rated, followed by economic and environmental impacts in consecutive order. The communities are mostly satisfied with tourism and would like to see it increase in the locality. The participation and inclusion of the communities of Puerto López in the processes of tourism management is an aspect that should be paid attention to because of the interest it arouses in the residents and, together with the environmental issue, opens new gaps for future research and for the development of eight lines of action.
