Abstract

People used to travel without fear or restriction before the pandemic. They could do whatever they wanted, travel to new places, and participate in a variety of activities. However, on account of COVID-19, the situation altered, and the tourist behavior also changed as well. Travelers’ willingness to travel is still present in their minds, but the issue is under control, and people are being compelled to adjust their travel habits accordingly. The main purpose of this conceptual study is to determine how travel behaviour changed during COVID-19 and to point out how people met their travel needs by altering their travel patterns. The study reviewed a variety of contemporary research articles, journals, newspapers, statistical data from worldwide tourism organizations, and websites in order to observe and understand changing travel behaviour. A comprehensive review of the existing literature is conducted, with a focus on the changing behavioral patterns of tourists and future travel trends as a result of COVID-19.
