Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted people's lifestyles. Camping, as an outdoor activity, has become increasingly popular in urban China, especially during the pandemic. However, existing literature lacks the recognition of changes in the psychological aspects of camping at various stages of health crises. This study developed a comprehensive model to explore the connections between constraints, motivations, satisfaction, and subjective well-being in camping experiences at different stages of COVID-19 pandemic. A two-wave tracking survey was collected in May 2022 during the COVID-19 period, and April 2023 in the post-COVID-19 period. The findings indicate that travelers faced fewer constraints after the health crisis, with their satisfaction levels less affected by these constraints. Travel motivations, however, did not show significant changes. It is worth noting that while camping satisfaction continued to positively impact subjective well-being, its influence notably decreased after the health crisis. This research illuminates the evolving relationship between antecedents and consequences of camping throughout different stages of health crises, providing insights for enhancing camping product and experience design, as well as campground planning and management.

Management implications

This pioneering study examines camping in nearby natural settings across different phases of COVID-19, elucidating differences in well-being outcomes and factors influencing camping experiences. Findings offers invaluable insights into current practices and management strategies related to camping. Campsite managers need to pay attention to the psychological processes of campers at different stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, governments and service providers can tailor products and services based on tourists' evolving needs and psychological changes.

重新发现附近的自然:探索 COVID-19 不同阶段露营的幸福效应和影响因素
COVID-19 大流行严重影响了人们的生活方式。露营作为一种户外活动,在中国城市越来越受欢迎,尤其是在疫情期间。然而,现有文献缺乏对健康危机不同阶段露营心理变化的认识。本研究建立了一个综合模型,以探讨在 COVID-19 大流行的不同阶段露营体验中的制约因素、动机、满意度和主观幸福感之间的联系。在 COVID-19 期间的 2022 年 5 月和 COVID-19 后的 2023 年 4 月收集了两波追踪调查。调查结果表明,健康危机发生后,旅行者面临的限制较少,他们的满意度受这些限制的影响也较小。然而,旅行动机并没有发生显著变化。值得注意的是,虽然露营满意度继续对主观幸福感产生积极影响,但其影响力在健康危机后明显下降。这项研究揭示了在健康危机的不同阶段露营的前因后果之间不断变化的关系,为加强露营产品和体验设计以及露营地规划和管理提供了启示。 这项开创性的研究考察了 COVID-19 不同阶段在附近自然环境中的露营情况,阐明了幸福感结果和影响露营体验的因素之间的差异。研究结果为当前与露营相关的实践和管理策略提供了宝贵的见解。露营地管理者需要关注在 COVID-19 大流行的不同阶段露营者的心理过程。此外,政府和服务提供商可以根据游客不断变化的需求和心理变化来定制产品和服务。
