Abstract

The disruptive effect of COVID-19 pandemic on the tourism industry has generated new needs and motivations for tourist travel. This study evaluates the effects of the pandemic on the profile and characteristics of leisure trips made by residents in Spain. Based on the microdata from the Resident Tourism Survey carried out by the INE, the logistic regression model is used to examined the relationship between the socioeconomic and demographic profile of the traveler and the characteristics of the trip with the type of destination (international or domestic) for the years 2019- 2021. The comparison of the estimated results for each year reveals that the motivation to travel abroad differs significantly between the different profiles of tourists, except for gender. The results also confirm that the characteristics of the trip were significantly different before and after the pandemic. In addition, a significant change in the preferences of the type of accommodation and transport is confirmed, along with a reduction in the differences in duration of trips to national and international destinations.
