“…Besides, through the use of different types of vaccines (i.e. BioNTech, Sinovac, Moderna, Sputnik V), people are trying to adapt to the so-called new normal (Contreras, 2020). One of the realities of this new normal is that tourists will go on vacations despite the risks of COVID-19 infection.…”

PurposeThis paper aims to investigate the relationships between motivation and intention to consume local food and between intention to consume local food and intention to visit the destination of that food's origin while examining the moderating effect of risk perception associated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).Design/methodology/approachData were collected from two samples of potential Chinese tourists in the contexts of Italian and Thai food. Data obtained from 264 Chinese respondents for Italian food and 277 Chinese respondents for Thai food were analyzed. Partial least squares structural equation modeling was utilized to test the research model.FindingsThe results indicate that, while motivational factors such as cultural experience, novelty and sensory appeal influence potential Chinese tourists' intention to consume Italian food, motivational factors such as cultural experience, health concern, novelty and sensory appeal influence tourists' intention to consume Thai food. The authors found that intention to consume local food positively influences tourists' intention to visit both destinations (Italy and Thailand). Moreover, tourists' risk perceptions of COVID-19 negatively moderate the effect of cultural experience and novelty on the intention to consume Italian food. Regarding the intention to consume Thai food, the authors found that tourists' risk perceptions have a diminishing effect on all motivational factors.Originality/valueThis pioneering study examines the role of COVID-19-related risk perception on the relationships among motivation of local food consumption, intention of local food consumption and destination visit intention in the context of two destination countries. It reveals cross-country differences of the negative effect pertaining to the risk perceptions of COVID-19, which has important implications for international destination marketing.

“…It would be very difficult to provide the vaccine to everyone at the same time so there should be priority given to the different segments of population. Health workers, elderly adults and security staff should be given vaccine at the first stage (Contreras, 2020). The objective of this study is to carry out a survey in consultation with academicians, practitioners, and experts to analyse the various strategies to formulate the priorities of COVID-19 vaccination among various segments of the population.…”

Early detection of any disease is half cured but the vaccination process is likewise vital for the control of spread of diseases. Great efforts and initiatives are being made by researchers for the development of COVID-19 vaccines. Looking at the current scenario, the demand of COVID-19 vaccine surpasses the supply. It is very important to formulate the priorities of individuals for the vaccination drive at various stages. In this article, analytic hierarchy process is applied to develop a decision-making system to decide the priority of an individual to be vaccinated depending upon the unique features they might possess. The various characteristics are decided based on research and consultation from academicians, peer researchers and medical professionals. This study supports the prioritisation of vaccination to individuals with low immunity levels, which is followed by the presence of comorbidity, then followed by occupation, age and then area of their stay. This article may help countries to set up the priorities during their various stages’ vaccination drive. Countries that have not yet started with the vaccination process may follow the mentioned priorities in various stages.

“…For neuroticism they received different results, from completely positive to completely negative answers, while for some personality traits they did not get the expected results at all. The use of vaccines from different manufacturers that were on the market (BioNTech, Sinovac, Moderna, Sputnik V) is considered to have created a sense of security in people, and they are trying to free themselves and adapt to new living conditions or so-called new normalcy ( Contreras, 2020 ). In this context of the new way of life, the attitude of tourists is implied that they want to go on vacation even though the infection still reigns and despite the risk of COVID-19 infection.…”

COVID-19 certificate as a cutting-edge issue in changing the perception of restaurants’ visitors—Illustrations from Serbian urban centers

As one of the first European cases of the introduction of COVID-19 certificates, the Serbian Government initiated the measure of limited working hours of restaurants for unvaccinated visitors. Due to such actions and frequent bans on working during the pandemic, many restaurants in Serbia had to lay off workers or close. At the end of October 2021, the certificate for entering restaurants and all catering facilities for all the visitors became mandatory. It is interesting to note that earlier findings suggested that some personality characteristics determine the specific behaviors during the pandemic, but there is still a small number of results related to restaurants’ visitors. This study aimed to investigate the predictive strength of the Big Five Factors (BFF) to attitudes toward visits to restaurants in Serbia during the pandemic, depending on the attitudes toward accepting COVID-19 certificates. A survey was conducted on a total sample of 953 visitors of restaurants in three major cities in Serbia. The results of hierarchical regression analysis showed that Openness and Extraversion positively predict attitudes toward visits to facilities during a pandemic, while Conscientiousness and Neuroticism were negative predictors. However, in the second step of hierarchical regression analysis, attitudes toward a COVID-19 certificate as a mediator variable significantly reduced the negative effect of Neuroticism on the attitudes toward visits. It seems that, by obtaining the certificate, the fear of unsafe stays in restaurants can be reduced, and that making decisions about (no) visiting restaurants during the pandemic does not necessarily have to be compromised by emotional lability.
