ABSTRACT

Traveling is a basic human need driven by curiosity to explore new environments and discover new experiences. Comfort and safety are vital in determining one’s decisions to travel. Before going on a tour, a prospective tourist performs a mental process to decide the time, duration, place, and transportation mode, and so on. During the Covid-19 pandemic, the global safety factor became threatened and forced changes in all types of people interaction, including in tourism and traveling aspects. Thus, this study aimed to measure the impact of the pandemic on travel decision-making. A total of 382 questionnaires were distributed via Google Forms April–May 2020 to the Indonesians. The study used a simple linear regression test and was assisted by SPSS version 20. The test showed astounding results; for Indonesian people, the influence of this pandemic on the travel decision-making is at a low level.
