“…COVID-19 became politicized leading to political conflicts especially between the USA and China. Past research suggests political conflict leads to the development of negative stereotypes, which may be difficult to change (Farmaki et al , 2019a). Hence, the exploration of the relationship between the politicization of pandemics, stereotyping and tourism behavior is worthy of further investigation.…”

Purpose This paper aims to report on the findings emerging from an international study focused on the COVID-19 pandemic impact on travel attitudes and behavioral intentions . Design/methodology/approach An online survey created with SurveyMonkey was distributed to a sample of 216 international travelers who were at least 18 years of age. Findings The findings suggest that attribution theory (locus of control) may account for international travel. Individuals attributing the spread of COVID-19 to their own countries (internal locus of control) are more likely to travel abroad. Statistically significant differences are observed between various generational cohorts concerning perceived travel risk, domestic and international travel. Originality/value The impact of a health crisis on domestic and international travels conceptualized in a single model is absent from the literature. The authors propose a model to account for the influence of pandemics on tourists’ attitudes and intentions to travel and whether attribution of blame influences travel destination choices (domestic or international).

“…Drawing from cognitive psychology, it appears that the passage of time increases the likelihood of tourists forgetting about the crisis and resuming travel, particularly when effects are indirect. This likelihood is reinforced by tourists’ needs, desire and motive to travel despite the presence of emotional factors ( Farmaki et al, 2019 ) such as in the case of visiting family and friends ( Zenker & Kock, 2020 ). Similarly, the longer the time interval the more likely it is that other events, either internal or external to the tourist, will interfere with the memory of the crisis causing it to gradually fade.…”

Even though academic attention has been paid on the tourism-memory nexus, the concept of forgetfulness in tourism has been largely overlooked and remains unexplored. The aim of this research note is to introduce the concept of forgetfulness alongside memory within tourism scholarship to discuss the way in which it may be integrated with future research. In so doing, the discussion focused on a tourist crisis context as tourists’ post-crisis behaviour often reflects forgetfulness as evidenced by their travel resumption patterns. Overall, by linking the concepts of forgetfulness and tourism, this research note contributes to knowledge advancement on tourism crises by shifting attention away from risk perceptions towards an understanding of the cognitive and emotional processes influencing tourist behaviour. The research note also illuminates understanding of how crises are forgotten; hence, contributes to the improvement of crisis management strategies. The research note concludes by proposing an agenda for future research.

“…The results also provide empirical evidence that quantitative growth in developing destinations (in this case of air transport traffic, purchasing power parity and international association meetings) needs to go hand in hand with wastewater treatment improvement and stringent environmental regulation, coupled with further digital and physical infrastructure development, as well as workforce training and development. There are also further considerations to be dealt with in politically unstable destinations (such as the island of Cyprus), where regional visitation is highly dependent on the perceptions of culture and ethnicity [102]. Similarly, post-war destinations face highly specific tourism development problems, such as lack of basic political prerequisites for the functioning of society, while the need for active re-branding and infrastructure re-development seems to be a top priority [103][104][105][106][107][108].…”

Developing a Competitive and Sustainable Destination of the Future: Clusters and Predictors of Successful National-Level Destination Governance across Destination Life-Cycle

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This study advances the research and methodological approach to measuring and understanding national-level destination competitiveness, sustainability and governance, by creating a model that could be of use for both developing and developed destinations. The study gives a detailed overview of the research field of measuring destination competitiveness and sustainability. It also identifies major predictors of destination competitiveness and sustainability and thereby presents destination researchers and practitioners with a useful list of priority areas, both from a global perspective and from the perspective of other similar destinations. Finally, the study identifies two major types of destination governance with implications for research, policy and practice across the destination life-cycle. The research deals with the analysis of the secondary data from the World Economic Forum Travel and Tourism Index (WEF T&T). Major types of destination governance and predictors of belonging to either one of the types, as well as inside cluster predictors have been extracted through a two-step cluster analysis. The results support the notion that a meaningful model of national-level destination governance needs to take into account different development levels of different destinations. The main limitation of the study is its typology creation approach, as it inevitably leads to simplifications.
