Abstract
The fear of COVID-19 has led to significant uncertainty and chaotic conditions in many sectors of the global economy, including the tourism and travel industry. The pandemic caused a major decline in travel activity and revenues due to restrictions on freedom of movement, border closings, and consumers’ fear of infection, as well closure of accommodation facilities, food service establishments, theme parks, attractions, and other leisure facilities. While some people avoided travel altogether, others needed to travel for different reasons including restoring well-being. The study investigates pandemic travelers’ search for well-being.
