Abstract
- This paper presents a longitudinal study of domestic travel by residents of Southeast Queensland, Australia. It is framed within the distance decay concept. Two major findings emerged from the study. First, people who were most likely to forsake travel as a result of COVID-19 generally did not value it very highly, while those who continued to travel saw it as an important part of their lifestyles. Second, applying the distance decay concept revealed no change in destination choice in intra-destination movements over time, although the volume of tourists was substantially lower as a result of COVID-19. This findings suggests a degree of habit persistence prevails even in times of crisis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
