“…Nguyen et al (2021) focused their study on the Vietnamese travel intention and concluded that the intention is influenced by perceived risk, perceived behavioural control, self-efficacy and subjective well-being. Among the most cited determinants of travel decisions are perceived risk (Bhatta et al, 2022;Fan et al, 2023;Tergu et al, 2022), perceived safety (Aebli et al, 2022;Md.

During the COVID-19 crisis, several measures were implemented to limit the transmission of the virus including border control and movement restrictions. These measures have had a significant impact on the tourism industry and tourists' behaviour globally. This paper aims to explore the impact of COVID-19 on the travel decisions of Malaysian millennials, as the key contributor to the tourism industry. A qualitative research method was employed with semi-structured interviews were carried out on the selected millennials for the data collection process. From the transcribed data, themes were developed using the constant comparative method of analysis. The findings highlighted a significant change in travel behaviour whereby, Malaysian millennials prefer to travel to local low-density destinations as opposed to overseas in the advent of the pandemic. The study also established a conceptual framework explaining the changes in the travel decisions of millennials. The two key factors driving the changes are perceived travel risk and travel constraints.

Supporting Environmental Stability Through Ecotourism

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Ecotourism has emerged as a tool that can help reduce environmental degradation and boost the economic and social activities of residents at various ecotourism destinations. These benefits can materialize when ecotourism destinations receive tourists throughout the year to ensure the sustainability of activities. Ecotourists choose destinations to visit based on their perceived benefits and risks which include a series of activities that the tourists experience on the journey and at the destination. A positive perception is a benefit and a negative one is a risk which intend influences the intention of the tourists to visit, revisit, and recommend the destination to potential tourists. Several authors have looked at the perceived risks and benefits and their influence on visits, however, insight into developing countries like Ghana remains under-researched. This chapter explores the literature and uses primary data collection from Ghana to explain the phenomenon.
