This study examines the impact of intra-pandemic perceptions on travellers' post-pandemic hotel booking behaviour, as well as the moderating role of mortality threats and religiosity on these behaviours. The findings indicate that travellers with lower religiosity and higher perception of mortality threats are more influenced by intra-pandemic perceptions when making their post-pandemic hotel booking decisions. Additionally, the study highlights the importance of emergency public information in shaping post-pandemic planned behaviour.
This study explores the influence of intra-pandemic perceptions on travellers' post-pandemic hotel booking behaviour among crisis-resistant travellers and crisis-sensitive groups. It also examines the moderating role of mortality threats and religiosity on these behaviours. We collected quantitative data utilising survey method via questionnaires to address various levels of the research. We used PLS-SEM to evaluate our proposed model. We collected data from 1580 who had booked hotels in Egypt. Our study indicated that intra-pandemic perception has a stronger effect on travellers' post-pandemic hotel booking behaviours if the travellers are less religious and feel deeply threatened by the idea of their own level of mortality. Moreover, it revealed that intra-pandemic perceptions had a stronger association with post-pandemic planned behaviour for travellers who chose to cancel their hotel booking plans. Our study also indicated that emergency public information plays a critical role in influencing post-pandemic planned behaviour. Our study offers effective strategies to aid hospitality and tourism practitioners when risky and threating situations such as COVID-19 arise, specifically in the period of response and recovery.
