Abstract
ABSTRACT COVID-19 has prompted tourists to look for vacation options where they can feel safer. Hence, repurchasing behaviour gains importance regarding vacationing. Another widely accepted effect of COVID-19 is on people's psychological outcomes, such as decreased subjective vitality. Therefore, this study aims to reveal the interrelationships among tourists’ fear of COVID-19, intention to repurchase a vacation and subjective vitality. Based on data from 654 tourists from all over Turkey and using the AMOS-SEM and PROCESS macro, the findings show (i) a positive relationship between the intention to repurchase a vacation and subjective vitality, (ii) negative associations between the fear of COVID-19 and repurchase intention, and fear of COVID-19 and subjective vitality. However, the results provide no significant evidence regarding the mediator role of the intention to repurchase.
期刊介绍:
Journal metrics are valuable for readers and authors in selecting a publication venue. However, it's crucial to understand that relying on any single metric provides only a partial perspective on a journal's quality and impact. Recognizing the limitations of each metric is essential, and they should never be considered in isolation. Instead, metrics should complement qualitative reviews, serving as a supportive tool rather than a replacement. This approach ensures a more comprehensive evaluation of a journal's overall quality and significance, as exemplified in Current Issues in Tourism.
