A Study on Indian Tourists Behaviour During and Post Covid-19 Pandemic

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to comprehend the typical travel behaviour of Indians both during and after the Coronavirus outbreak to tourist places both inside and outside of India. Numerous nations around the world rely on tourism to maintain and expand their economies. According to a review of the literature on the effects of COVID-19 on the tourism sector, it is necessary to analyse and forecast potential changes in future tourist behaviour in order to create tourism related goods and services. The main goal of this study is to better understand how Indians generally behave when visiting tourist locations both inside and outside of India, both during and post covid-19. The study is to explain the behavioural traits of Indians in relation to their readiness to travel for tourism purposes and their choice of destination (domestic or abroad). The research is descriptive in nature. According to the report, Indian visitors are currently undecided on whether to travel or not. It should be highlighted that the correct stimulation in the form of motivators like heightened safety concern, hassle-free travel, and inexpensive tourism options would draw the domestic tourists back to tourist locations in India. The study made an effort to comprehend the variables that affected the choice between domestic and international travel for tourism-related purposes. Additionally, it is also discovered that the development of a vaccine would have a favourable effect on tourists’ eagerness to travel.
