Abstract

COVID-19 pandemic has brought great impacts not only to physical but also mental well-being. Ordeals in daily life due to the real exposure of COVID-19 may generate an extra cautious behavior to do out-of-home activities in order to avoid the encounter to the disease again, which plays a part in shaping inclusive tourism challenge. Down to the concern of the fulfillment of well-being, this study aimed to learn the role of COVID-19 exposure to people at-risk’s tourism intention. Online surveys were used as the data collecting instrument from citizens of Jakarta aged 46 and older. Using the Theory of Planned Behavior as its theoretical framework, this research applied SPSS’ sub-group analysis as the data analysis technique. The study showed that tourism intention of people at-risk from COVID-19 could be classified as high and was significantly influenced by attitude, subjective norm, as well as perceived behavioral control. The analysis also showed that COVID-19 exposure to people at-risk was a moderator to travel intention. Comparison of path coefficients among the exposure-based group showed that exposure to COVID-19 affects differently to personal rather than external factors. The study highlights the importance of lessening people at-risk’s apprehension to travel during the new normal.
