Resumo(s)
Tourism is one of the most important sectors in the economy of many countries around the world and Portugal is not an exception. However, in 2020 and 2021, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, this sector was drastically affected, as result of the huge decrease in peoples’ mobility and the restrictions applied to reduce the spread of the virus. This scenario influenced the way we think and the way we make decisions, especially when it concerns to travel. The goal of this study is, using structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM), evaluate a model based on the theory of planned behavior to understand how the situation mentioned above affected travel planning and tourists’ intention to travel abroad, if the importance of some of the factors who influence travel intention was affected when compared to the pre-pandemic period. Based on a sample of 200 responses, safety perception to travel abroad is influenced by the fear of being infected while the person is traveling, by the trust on local authorities and by consumer generated content. Intention to travel abroad is influenced by prices and attitude, which is also influenced by the safety perception. Safety perception also moderates the relationship between perceived behavioral control and distance with travel intention.
