The reticent tourist in a COVID-adapted world
研究了2022年中澳大利亚昆士兰东南部居民在疫情后对旅行兴趣降低的原因，发现约四分之一的人因焦虑、感染恐惧、满意度风险或旅行风险而减少旅行意愿，2023年随访仍有一成半至两成半的人旅行欲望降低。
This paper examines the reasons why many people are reticent about travelling in a COVID-adapted world. It reports on a study of residents of Southeast Queensland, Australia conducted in mid-2022, up to six months after borders reopened after a prolonged COVID-19 shutdown. About one quarter of respondents were less interested in travel in a COVID-adapted world than they were before the pandemic struck. They were a diverse group whose reasons for their reticence could be categorised into four broad risk groups of: ongoing anxiety; fear of catching the disease; satisfaction risk, and; travel risk as reflected by an overall loss of interest in travel. Each group displayed different COVID-adapted travel patterns that reflect the operationalisation of different risk categories. A follow-up survey conducted in August 2023 confirmed that up to one in four people still have less desire to travel as a result of COVID-19.
