[코로나 19도 막지 못한 관광객들의 국내여행]

COVID-19 판데믹으로 인해 안전에 대한 우려는 일상에 만연하게 존재했다.

그러나 일반적으로 전염병 위험 지각 시 개인은 관광을 회피하는 경향이 나타나는 반면,

COVID-19가 지속적으로 확산되는 상황에도 국내여행에 참여하는 비중은 꾸준히 나타났다.

이 현상에 대해 본 연구는 보호동기이론을 사용하여 파악하였고,

그 결과 지각된 자기효능은 국내여행의도에 가장 부적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

Abstract

This study adapted the protection motivation theory to examine the effect of COVID-19 risk perception on individual cognitive processing processes on each tourist behavior. In general, individuals who perceive the risk of infectious diseases tend to avoid tourism, while the proportion of participants in domestic travel is steadily appearing in the spread situation where COVID-19 continues, which is related. It was decided when it was necessary to understand the phenomenon. The survey was conducted from December 28, 2020 to January 10, 2021, when the “2.5 levels of social distance” was enforced nationwide, and the subjects of the survey were potentially planning domestic trips. A total of 214 questionnaires were used for the final data analysis. Research results showed that COVID-19 risk perception has a significant effect on all protection motivation components except perceived rewards, and the perceived rewards, perceived self-efficacy, perceived costs had a significant effect on domestic travel intention. Especially perceived self-efficacy has been confirmed to have the most negative effect on each domestic travel intention. Presented theoretical suggestions that can understand an individual’s cognitive processing process in certain cases, such as travel intention, and practical suggestions that can manage domestic tourism activities in dangerous situations of infectious diseases.
