Is Travel Resurgence in the Post-Global Health Emergency a Form of Revenge Travel? A Multi-phase Qualitative Study
通过多阶段定性研究,从旅行者视角探讨后疫情时期旅行复苏是否可称为报复性旅行,并分析其影响,发现旅行更多是自我重新发现的方式。
This paper aims to conceptualize whether revenge tourism is an apt description of travel in the post global health emergency period from the perspective of travelers. Furthermore, it examines the outcomes of post global health emergency travel. The multiphase work included screening and three phases of qualitative study. Participants perceived the term “ revenge ” with skepticism, although the nature of travel and activities and consumption in the post global health emergency have changed for them. In this period, the need for introspection was greater, and travel was a way of rediscovering oneself. Furthermore, participants were negotiating new, different boundaries again after a tumultuous period, which indicated tourism travel was inextricably intertwined with several important aspects of their lives. The most important implication of the study is that it enables us to understand the connectedness between the process by which the post global health emergency phenomenon influences travel and its outcomes.
