ARE THE HABITS AND BEHAVIORS OF TOURISTS FROM THE COVID-19 PERIOD MAINTAINED AFTER THE END OF THE PANDEMIC?
Abstract
The research carried out in this paper has highlighted the changes in the behavior of tourists during the pandemic and post-pandemic periods. Using the sociological survey, the questionnaire as a tool, the research aimed at revealing to what extent the behavioral changes of tourists from the period of the COVID- 19 pandemic were preserved after the end of the epidemic. It was found that some tourist behaviors became ingrained in their routines, while others began to diminish as pandemic-related restrictions eased. Some behaviors might have long-term impacts on the tourism industry, including potential changes in travel preferences or in the demand for certain types of accommodations. The results proved a significant contribution to understanding how the COVID-19 pandemic influenced long-term tourist habits in the post-pandemic world.
