“…Behavioural scholars argue that past behaviours reflect current and personal habits and that current habits will affect future behaviours (Fredricks and Dossett, 1983). In fact, people generally want to keep consistency in their behaviours and habits (Agag et al ., 2022; Fredricks and Dossett, 1983). Prior studies also revealed that intra-pandemic perception is associated with post-pandemic attitudes and habits (Dedeoğlu and Boğan, 2021; Li et al ., 2021; Xie et al ., 2021).…”

PurposeThe current research presents a case study on how COVID-19 has influenced event attendees' attitudes toward safety procedures, venue capacity, purchasing tickets in advance, type of events (e.g. theatre, music and art) and the mode of the event (i.e. live vs online).Design/methodology/approachIn two timeframes (i.e. during and after COVID-19 lockdowns), data were collected via a self-completed online survey from a regional Western Australia (WA) town, Geraldton. In total, 94 event attendees were recruited in Wave 1 (during lockdowns), and 126 respondents were recruited in Wave 2 (after lockdowns). The naturalistic data collection examines how COVID-19 has influenced attendees' attitudes.FindingsThe findings suggest that attendees have adapted to the new normal of COVID-19. If safety procedures are followed, most respondents are comfortable attending an entertainment event during and after the lockdown (Wave 1 and Wave 2). Furthermore, respondents exhibited comfort following COVID-19 safety precautions at events even after COVID-19 lockdowns, except for mandatory mask-wearing. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has prompted event attendees to prefer lower seating capacity at events, while the gradual easing of restrictions reduces their discomfort toward higher seat capacity.Originality/valueAlthough some research has examined the financial and economic impact of COVID-19 on the event industry, there is limited research on consumers' or attendees' perceptions and attitudes toward events, particularly entertainment events and festivals, as the world emerges from the pandemic. Thus, the current case study is the first to examine event attendees' attitudes toward entertainment event management and operation during and after COVID-19 lockdowns. The finding provides significant theoretical and managerial implications surrounding the reaction of event attendees toward entertainment events (i.e. festivals) during health crises such as COVID-19.

“…During the COVID-19 pandemic, the TPB was applied especially often in Asia, in countries such as China (Liu et al , 2021), Taiwan (Wang et al , 2022), Malaysia (Abbasi et al , 2021), Indonesia (Pahrudin et al , 2021), Pakistan (Shang et al , 2021) and Iran (Jalilvand and Samiei, 2012). The model has also been applied on other continents, in countries such as Egypt (Agag et al , 2022), the USA (Han et al , 2020) and Italy (Morando and Platania, 2022), although to a lesser extent.…”

Purpose This study proposes an extension of the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) model to understand international travellers' intentions to visit Spain. This study aims to compare whether the predictive variables of the intention to travel differ depending on nationality. The extension includes: perceived risk, loyalty to the destination, past travel experience, public opinion climate and electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM). Design/methodology/approach A multiple-indicator, multiple-cause (MIMIC) model was developed as a structural equational model to predict the 1,978 participants' intention to travel. The structural model was used to determine the theoretical model for the total sample and by nationality (Germans, Britons and those from other European countries). Findings The extended models fitted the data well, explaining 64%–68% of the total variance, while differences depending on tourist nationality were also found. The MIMIC model indicated that German people's intention to travel to a holiday destination was influenced by their perception of risk, eWOM and loyalty to the country. In the British group, only the TPB variables were relevant. For those of other European nationalities, loyalty and eWOM were also significant. Travel experience, used as a variable in previous studies, was shown not to be significant. Overall, these results offer insights into how people from diverse countries and cultures embrace the aforementioned constructs when making travel decisions. Practical implications This study also has practical implications for policymakers in holiday tourism destinations, such as Spain. In particular, this study provides a better understanding of Britons' and Germans' travel intentions and could be beneficial for guiding policies for the recovery of the tourism industry in major tourism destinations. Originality/value Previous studies have applied various extended TPBs to one specific country or made comparisons between Asian countries. This study’s proposal makes a comparison of the variables used to predict the intention to visit a holiday destination among the European countries.

“…Secondly, the beliefs of manageability of occasions build up an illusion of invulnerability (Huber et al, 2021;Starks et al, 2020). Experimental thoughts affect perceived threats and, later, the illusion of invulnerability (Agag et al, 2022). Nishimi et al (2022) found that contributors were appealing low threat of constricting Coronavirus Disease-19 characteristic stage as a sponsor except for their complete health conduct.…”

This research inspects even if the illusion of invulnerability in Coronavirus disease-2019 among persons raises uncertain behavior via questionnaire statistics of university undergraduates in Pakistan. We investigate whether members' illusion of invulnerability varies depending on their point of intimacy with other people. Research detected that the classmates' presence in the place of neighbourhoods/guests creates members with greater Coronavirus disease-2019 illusion of invulnerability disposed to take more threats. As well, it is observed that preventive behavioral standards tailed by members lessen uncertain behavior amongst members with the greater illusion of invulnerability. Our research results suggest significant inferences for officials to reduce the spread of the virus among university undergraduates.
