Abstract

COVID-19 pandemic has triggered a fundamental challenge to inclusive tourism particularly in terms of people at high risk to COVID-19. Considering physical distancing as the most effective non pharmaceutical intervention to minimize the virus contagion, this research purported to reveal the influence of interpersonal constraints on the travel intention of people physically vulnerable to COVID-19, also owing to the concern of their need to fulfill well-being. Data collection was conducted through an online survey to citizens of Jakarta aged 46 and older. SmartPLS SEM was used to examine the role of interpersonal constraints and the Theory or Reasoned Action in determining travel intention. The study showed that travel intention of people at high risk from COVID-19 can be classified as high, with attitude, subjective norms, and interpersonal constraint as its determinants. Nonetheless, the structural model did not show any moderating effects of interpersonal constraints in the framework. The weak effect of interpersonal constraints hinted collective values might act as a buffer towards the constraints in travel decision making. The study offered some thoughts and recommendations for inclusive tourism development, inter alia in promoting physical distancing in destinations, wishing to contribute towards the attainment of sustainable tourism.
