“…Although online classes and several work-at-home arrangements are still in effect, the reopening of businesses and establishments meant that employees and laborers need to go to work by traveling with public transport. This also meant that customers are now able to easily access these locations, especially since the prolonged home isolation has caused more people to go out of their homes ( Miao et al, 2021 ). With the current government regulations in public transport operations, there is a wide margin between the increase in mobility needs of commuters and the limited supply of public transportation in light of maximum allowable passengers and health protocols ( W. B. S. and P. R., Only buses, modernized PUJs will be allowed in GCQ, MGCQ areas Sunstar Cebu, 2020 ); ( N. Semilla Lack of transport toughens GCQ transition for Cebu City workers Inquirer.net, 2020 ) .…”

“…This can perhaps be explained by the continued decrease in cases of COVID-19 in Metro Cebu, along with the declaration of MECQ status in Metro Cebu since September 2020 until the present. Moreover, the long lockdowns and isolation have impacted the mental health of the people ( Buenaventura et al, Oct. 2020 ); ( Khan et al, Dec. 2020 ) , and going outside of their homes and traveling for leisure or recreation may have helped in its alleviation ( Miao et al, 2021 ). The reoperation of businesses and tourism spots in the metropolitan and Cebu Province may have also attracted those who have been confined at home for a long period.…”

This article investigates changes in travel behavior from selected urban cities in Metro Cebu, Philippines during the COVID-19 pandemic a year after the first lockdown. Different categories of community quarantine and granular lockdowns have since been imposed to curb the spread of the virus. An online survey was distributed to analyze socio-demographic characteristics and reasons for traveling in relation to weekly trip frequency before and during pandemic. These are presented and analyzed through data visualization and multinomial logistic regression. Results show that the major reason for traveling before pandemic was work-related but has since shifted to buying essentials or for leisure or recreation. Weekly trip frequencies were lesser when compared before pandemic, but several socio-demographic groups have shown otherwise. There is statistical significance for those less likely to travel when commuters are employed, self-employed or students compared to unemployed, earning PHP 10,000 or less compared to those earning above PHP 50,000, in a household size of 10 compared to all other household sizes, and those with college degree against elementary or no formal education. By determining the travel behavior of commuters when they have ample time to adjust to the new normal, their mobility needs can be best understood and consequently satisfied. Interventions in fulfilling the travel needs for those belonging to socio-demographic groups that are highly affected by the pandemic, such as the working class, blue-collar workers, and have limited financial capabilities, can also be developed when a similar outbreak in the future is imminent.

“…The COVID-19 pandemic has a major negative impact on mobility and thus also on the tourism sector. External factors such as country lockdowns, forced closures of tourist facilities, strict orders not to travel and the decline of transportation services restrict national and international mobility (Miao et al, 2021). Personal fears and uncertainties related to the pandemic is an additional aspect that may reduce the willingness to travel (Neuburger & Egger, 2021).…”

This study investigates empirically how the regional economic activity, measured as the agglomeration of establishments, affects domestic travel and tourism flows during the COVID-19 summer of 2020. Domestic tourism flows are approximated by the number of overnight stays in all 96 French regions. Results from spatial estimations reveal that lower economic activity attracts more domestic tourists. This relationship becomes inflated if the neighbouring areas are characterized by equally sparse economic activity. In July and August 2020, regions with a 10% lower density of establishments (combined effect of within the same region and surrounding regions) have a between one and two percentage points higher growth rate in domestic overnight stays than others. The share of second homes is also significantly and positively related to domestic tourism. Coastal regions and regions surrounded by national parks have a larger growth in domestic overnight stays in August 2020 (by 15 and 24 percentage points, respectively). The counterfactual estimations based on data for the years prior to the pandemic (2017-2019) reveal that regions with a high establishment density are growing in domestic tourism. The other local characteristics investigated are either insignificant (direct effects) or have the opposite sign (spillover effects).

“…With the end of the pandemic, many demands will be generated, and tourists' demand for tourism products and services is expected to change. For example, tourists are more likely to consider the geographical location of the scenic spot, whether the transportation is safe, as well as whether some tourism products (e.g., cruise tourism products) should be purchased [55]. At this point, it is necessary for tourism enterprises to think about the change of future tourism mode and provide more high-quality and personalised tourism products and services, such as self-guided tours, family tours, RV tours and surrounding tours, supporting more fresh attractions and travel confidence for tourists [54,56], In short, it promotes the evolutionary game converges towards (1, 1).…”

“…Furthermore, from the perspective of tourists, what the pandemic brings to tourists is only the difference in a travel time selection. The tourism market is experiencing a temporary "repression", and it will not be extinct even under the influence of the pandemic [55]. Therefore, in the "gap period", firstly, tourism enterprises need to think about the changes of tourism demand after the pandemic and prepare for the new requirements of tourism products and services in the post-pandemic market with a positive attitude.…”

Exploring Tourism Recovery in the Post-COVID-19 Period: An Evolutionary Game Theory Approach

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This study aims to explore the process of tourism recovery in the post-COVID-19 period and the role of stakeholders in promoting such a process. Using evolutionary game theory, this study analyzes the behavior interactions and game equilibrium of stakeholders in the development of tourism by constructing an evolutionary game model amongst governments, tourists and tourism enterprises. Then, the influences of different evolution paths and major parameters affecting stakeholders’ strategy selection are discussed. With the aim of illustrating the role of the stakeholders in the tourism sector’s economic recovery under the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, the numerical experiment was conducted using the MATLAB 2016 software. The results show that the development and change of the emergent public health events affect tourism stakeholders’ behavior strategy. Moreover, the strategic choices of each player, including governments, tourism enterprises and tourists, are also constantly evolving at different stages of the pandemic.
