“…However, there are relatively few studies on the participation of Gen Z in the domain of wellness tourism at present. Therefore, studying the intention of Gen Z to participate in wellness travel against the background of the COVID-19 pandemic will help to enrich the research on the tourism consumption of Gen Z and develop the market segment of wellness tourism [39].…”

Understanding the influencing mechanism of the COVID-19 pandemic on the public’s travel intentions is key to creating effective strategies to restore and enhance confidence in tourism. Based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB), an extended model was proposed to investigate the Chinese Generation Z’s perception of risk and its effect on the consequences of behavioral process toward wellness tourism. A total of 727 respondents were surveyed by using an online questionnaire. The relationships among the perceptions of risks, three key explanatory variables (attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control) in the TPB, and wellness tourism intention were evaluated. This study verified that both the perceived health risk and the perceived psychological risk negatively impacted the wellness tourism intentions of Gen Z. Attitude is a partial mediator between subjective norms, perceived behavior control, and travel intentions, respectively. The findings are discussed from the perspective of the theoretical and managerial implications, as well as of future research directions.

“…The management has given little thought to an accident record book because they have not experienced major accidents at the site, and since their introduction, the monkeys have never attacked or hurt any tourists. This reaction suggests using a firefighting measurement strategy; nevertheless, having an easily available instructional document on hand is required (Wilks et al, 2021). Moreso, to oversee the measures put in place to protect tourists at Buabeng-Fiema Monkey Sanctuary, a record of safety and security policy is necessary.…”

The study was conducted to assess the safety and security measures at Buabeng-Fiema Monkey Sanctuary in Ghana. The study used a case study design. Interviews and observation were used to gather data from 10 management staff. The study revealed that safety signs, a first aid box, a fire extinguisher, washrooms, dustbins, tour guides, security personnel, visitors seating and an emergency unit were available at the site. However, CCTV cameras, metal detectors and ambulances were not available. The study further established that safety and security measures at the site were generally inadequate; management did not consider the site to be under any threat since the monkeys had never caused any severe harm or injury to tourists, which would call for stringent security measures. The study recommends that tourism stakeholders should endevour to provide CCTV cameras, metal detectors and ambulances to deal with any incidents that may arise at the destination.

“…While the risk of geographic spread via air travel differs significantly between emerging infectious diseases [4] the travel and tourism industry is clearly identified as an important partner in the public health response to disease control [5]. Health and hygiene continues to be an important pillar of travel destination competitiveness as measured by the World Economic Forum [6] and a critical factor in tourism recovery [7].…”
