India is a huge attraction for tourists all over the world visiting different destinations with different motives. The Indian tourism sector was performing incredibly till the recent pandemic changed the overall tourism environment. The motivation for travelling has changed substantially and this change in behaviour and motives calls for insightful research. Hence, the purpose of this study is to explore the travel behaviour and motivation of tourists in post-pandemic situations. Primary data was collected from 345 tourists who had availed of the services of travel agencies pre-COVID or had made an enquiry. The six factors relating to destination choices in the new normal were discovered as health and hygiene, safety and security, accessibility and connectivity, information about destination, travel risk perception, and value for money. The findings will assist various tourism stakeholders in India to develop their policies and attract more domestic and foreign tourists.

The study proposed a modified theory of planned behaviour (TPB) model and expanding it with crucial factors in the tourism management area including push-pull motivation, destination image, tourist satisfaction, revisit intention, e-WOM recommend intention, and perceived risk as moderators to predict post-pandemic tourist behaviour towards Bali destinations. The data were collected through online surveys. A purposive sampling technique was conducted, resulting in 252 participants consists of domestic and international tourists. Data were analysed through the structural equation model approach (PLS-SEM). The findings confirmed that subjective norms, perceived behavioural control, push-pull motivation, and tourist satisfaction were significant determinants to predict tourist revisit intention to Bali. Additionally, the result of this study demonstrated that the moderating role of perceived risk has existed. Implications and directions of future research are explained.

The global health pandemic (COVID-19) has led to a significant decline in tourism activities and challenged existing norms and practices of the tourism sector. As international travel is restricted, the tourism sector is trying to promote domestic tourism by following health guidelines. This study aims to measure the relationships among social media travel content, perceived social risk of travel, attitude toward travel, and intention to travel during the pandemic time. The data were collected from young travellers in Bangladesh. The structural equation modelling (SEM) technique was used to estimate the relationships among the constructs. The results show that both social media travel content and perceived social risk of travel are significantly related to attitude toward travel and intention to travel. The association between attitude toward travel and intention to travel is also found significant. Destination managers are recommended to implement social media activation programs (e.g., a persuasive advertising campaign) and promote safe travel on their social media platforms (e.g., Facebook) to reduce perceived social risk of travel and create a positive attitude of travellers toward travel domestically during the global pandemic.

COVID-19 pandemic has placed human health under unprecedented issues since its outbreak in 2019. During COVID-19, people were restricted to one place, which caused many psychological and other health-related concerns among them. Hence, this study aims to understand wellness tourists' key wellness travel motivations in Rishikesh, India, during the COVID-19 lock-down period and post-pandemic. To conduct this quantitative research work, data were collected through a structured questionnaire from 232 domestic wellness tourists. Exploratory factor analysis was used for the factorial structure of the observed variables, and multiple regression analysis was used to test the study hypotheses. The study establishes an understanding that Rishikesh offers an anticipated atmosphere to wellness tourists from rejuvenation to d-stress to detoxification and body fitness even in a COVID-19 type crisis. Though India is getting momentum in wellness tourism, its infrastructure and professionalism need improvement to maintain the faith of wellness tourists in the destination image.
