Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to examine the changes in the travel behaviour of Greeks during the Covid-19 pandemic and in the post-pandemic era. It focuses on recording and comparing the above changes based on two parameters: the geographic area of permanent residence and their demographic characteristics. The empirical research of this study was conducted among residents of Greece. A stratified random sampling was used, in which Greece’s thirteen regions were regarded as stratums. The findings revealed that the pandemic has affected the travel behaviour of the Greeks, both in correlation to the region of their permanent residence and to their demographic characteristics. The results of the research revealed the travel preferences of the Greeks, which are shaped by hygiene and safety rules as well as by particular health protocols related to both hospitality and tranport. This research could be the base for an effective plan for future tourism aiming at offering a diversified tourism product. Future research could focus on comparing the mentalities of residents from different destinations varying from island to mainland or from low to high case indicator, etc., the results of which could provide further important information on the changes in the travel behaviour of the residents.
