“…In line with Provost and Soto (2002) and Huang et al (2020), a health risk variable (probability of infection) and the expected duration of the COVID-19 pandemic have been found the strongest predictors of travel intentions for both 2020 and 2021. The perceived severity of the disease, however, was only significant for the year 2020.…”

“…To assess tourist health risk perception, several authors have proposed to consider perceived susceptibility, that is, the likelihood of acquiring a disease (Janz & Becker, 1984;Floyd et al, 2000;Brewer et al, 2007;Taymoori, Molina, & Roshani, 2014;Huang et al, 2020), and perceived severity, defined as severe negative impacts of the disease (Provost & Soto, 2002;Brewer et al, 2007;Huang, Dai & Xub, 2020). Greater perceived susceptibility and perceived severity can lead to health-preventative behaviours, like travel avoidance (Brewer et al, 2007;Chapman & Skinner, 2008;Huang et al, 2020).…”

Understanding tourist behaviour during and after major tourism crises is essential to help destinations recover. The COVID-19 pandemic, a period of uncertainty and risk, makes it relevant to assess factors that influence travel intentions. There has been little research on tourist behaviour during health crises and, in particular, on perceived health risk and uncertainty effects on travel intentions. This study was carried out during the first months of the pandemic in Brazil and aims to investigate the role of health risk perception and intolerance of uncertainty on travel intentions for 2020 and 2021. We applied an online survey to 1,150 Brazilian participants from March to May of 2020. Our findings indicate that perceived COVID-19 severity, perceived probability of contracting it, and expected pandemic duration are significant predictors of travel intentions for both years. This paper sheds new light on tourist behaviour in the context of global health crises.

“…The results of the study were inconsistent with prior studies. Huang, Dai, and Xu [39] explored the relationships underlying travelers' health beliefs, attitudes, self-efficacy, preventive behaviors, and traveling satisfaction for Tibet tourists. The perceived Severity was not supported as preventative behavior, and perceived Susceptibility and perceived Benefit had a significant impact on the preventative behavior in this research.…”

The purpose of this study is to investigate how foreigners’ health beliefs influence their visiting intentions to Korean medical tourism. This study used an online survey engine (docs.google.com/forms) to collect data from foreigners who are from India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Vietnam, and Mongolia, who are potential Korean medical tourists. Out of 213 questionnaires collected, 200 questionnaires (93.9%) were used for the statistical analysis. The Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) revealed that six dimensions, “Experience”, “Susceptibility”, “Severity”, “Barrier”, “Benefit”, and “Visiting Intention”, had construct validity; Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was tested for item reliability. It is expected that four variables in the health belief model (HBM) that are determined by objective and logical thinking processes will affect the choice of Korean medical tourism. The results showed that Susceptibility, Severity, Barrier, and Benefit had significant effects on Visiting Intention and was a valid measurement to determine “Visiting Intention”.

“…Since the 1990s, tourism researchers have studied perceived risk and its impact on travel decision making and tourist behaviours (Huang et al, 2020). In particular, since serious diseases such as SARS, Avian flu, and MERS have severely influenced the tourism industry, the economic impact of pandemics in tourism and their influence on travel intention have been widely discussed (Floyd et al, 2004;Lee et al, 2012).…”

This study highlights 'untact' tourism as a health-protective behaviour stemming from individuals' perceptions of COVID-19 risk. Based on the frameworks of the Health Belief Model and the extended Theory of Planned Behaviour, this study examines the effect of COVID-19 risk perception on behavioural intention towards untact tourism. The online survey was administered to South Korean citizens in March and April 2020. A total of 877 questionnaires were used for data analysis. The results indicate that affective risk perception is a significant antecedent of attitude, while cognitive risk perception was found to positively influence subjective norms. Despite the significant influence of both cognitive and affective risk perceptions on behavioural intention, affective risk perception exerts a negative influence on behavioural intention, which is in opposition to the original hypothesis. Attitude was found to be a significant mediator between affective risk perception and behavioural intention whereas subjective norms mediated the relationship between cognitive perception and behavioural intention. Gender and marital status partially moderated the hypothesized relationships among the constructs. This study provides timely and insightful implications for tourism practitioners who will be expected to prepare the post-corona field for a new normal after the experience of restricted living during an unprecedented pandemic.
