Abstract

Among the major crises caused by the novel Covid-19, the hospitality industry was one of the most severely affected. The absence of tourism due to the lockdown and the post-Covid crisis seriously impacted the industry. In this context, this study analyzes the changes in tourists’ attitudes and preferences due to their perceived stress towards their hotel accommodation and location preferences in the post-Covid-19 lockdown in India. An online survey was conducted among 450 respondents to evaluate the change in tourists’ perception in terms of their gender, income, and marital status. The statistical analysis revealed that during the covid crisis, natural surroundings and pleasant weather conditions were the most important factors in determining hotel rooms and location preferences. This continues to influence in the choice of hotels afterwards too.
