Covid-19, especially the 4th outbreak in Vietnam, has had a
significant impact on the world’s tourism industry in general and
Vietnam’s tourism industry in particular. In the context when
international tourism is still frozen and domestic travel restric-
tions have been lifted, understanding and boosting domestic
tourism demand is the key to partially make up for the loss of
revenue as well as leverage to restart the tourism activities after
2 years of delay.

However, after a long pause for traveling activities, as well as the

fact that the pandemic situation is still not completely controlled,
travellers’ behaviors has become more unpredictable, the past
data is no-longer relevant to properly describe the characteristics
of travellers at this time. Therefore, it is important and necessary to
re-study the attitudes, thoughts and feelings about travel of
domestic travellers for the recovery journey of tourism.

Reality has shown that, under the impact of Covid-19, the per-
ception and behaviour of travellers have changed over time to
adapt and build the “new normal” in all activities in life. These
changes take place in short and continuous cycles following
the evolution of the pandemic, therefore, tracking changes in
behaviour and mindset of travellers overtime helps businesses
in the industry better understand the changes and readiness of
travellers in this new normal period. The Report on Vietnamese
travel sentiment was conducted to analyse the changes in the
readiness and perception of Vietnamese travellers towards
travelling activities after a long pause.

KEY FINDINGS Travellers profile
Being raised in different time and circumstances gives genera-
tions different psychological characteristics that lead to different
travel preferences
Gen X were born in the transitional period between economics
and politics, carrying materialism mindset. Being middle- age,
they have fairly solid financial background, thus, they tend to be
more confident in making their own travel decision and having
longer vacations.
Millennials were born in a time of globalization as well as techno-
logical development. Traveling has become a familiar daily
activity; being active and knowledgeable about the destination
has helped them proactively make decisions about choosing
destinations, as well as they tend to choose to travel on their
own.
Gen Z is digital native, born in the era of social media and virtual
reality development has made this generation exposed to more
types of information and learn to respect individual opinions,
therefore, they tend not to like to be identified or framed into any
framework. Travel preference also clearly indicates this mindset
when they always proactively choose the destination that suits
their individual preferences as well as choosing to travel on their
own.

Vietnamese travel sentiment

Overall, it will take a certain amount of time for travellers to con-
fidently and comfortably come back to travelling activities. Due
to the long lock-down and the fast spread of the disease, most
travellers are still hesitant when participating in activities in
crowded places.
The concerns about their own safety as well as the appearance
of the new variant are still the big barriers that impact the readi-
ness to return to tourism activities of travellers.
Although the closure policies and travel restrictions are gradually
eased across the country, the time for Vietnamese travellers to
return on their own will hardly be earlier than the second quarter
of 2022.
In addition, the complicated situation of the pandemic as well as
the differences in the opening policies of destinations around the
world are the factors that make Vietnamese travellers rather
hesitant in choosing international destinations. Most travellers
believe once the pandemic is totally controlled, they then will
travel internationally again.

 VIETNAMESE TRAVELLERS PROFILE IN THE NEXT NEW NORMAL

The development of new technology, higher connectivity and changing life values have changed the way we view
tourism. Besides, with the maturity of the first generation of digital natives, we are very near the point where the
planning, consumption and experiencing in traveling will gradually change.

As the Gen Z Vietnamese enters adulthood, they are a distinctive and powerful consumer group, this is the best time
to look at tourism through the lens of generations. Travel service providers have the opportunity to understand and
prepare for different travellers’ groups of different generations, in order to adjust and customize to their travel
experience and preferences and also values of customer groups, of different generations.

Millennials are the travellers’ group that has the highest need in traveling
According to the survey, Hanoi (34.45%) and Ho Chi Minh City (36.47%) are the two biggest markets in the country.
Besides, travellers in Central region accounts for a relatively lower proportion of just over 12%, of which, mainly
gather in Danang (4.12%).

Besides the differences in background, time of living as well as psychological characteristics make generations
have different travel preferences, the exclusive external factors such as natural disasters, epidemics, etc., also
significantly impact the perceptions and behaviours of travellers. The emergence of Covid-19 and the responses of
the destinations to prevent the pandemic spread, together with unprecedented solutions in an effort to restore all
economic aspects and social activities, have impacted profoundly the mindset of people in general and travellers
in particular. The old models, data no longer seem to accurately reflect and predict the current traveller’s
behavioural psychology. Along with the effort to revive businesses and destinations, businesses and destination
managements still have a big unanswered question “Are travellers ready to travel again?”

Sentiment Index is calculated based on identifying the decisive factors that determine the possibility of traveling
again in the future, specifically about travellers’ concerns as well as the excitement of returning to traveling again.
This index also helps businesses better understand which stage the readiness is in order to prepare the plans for
restoring tourism.

The psychological barriers as well as perception of travellers in participating in tourism activities were also topic
to research to provide explanations for reasons for not being ready at the present time (figure 1).

Besides the worries about their own health, the declin-
ing financial situation is also a concern that makes
travellers not ready to travel again. It is impossible to
deny the impact of the pandemic on not just health but
also causing other profound consequences, especially
the general economic and financial situations of coun-
tries and individuals. Therefore, travellers’ anxiety
about their personal financial situation is also one of
the factors affecting their travel sentiment.
However, a bright spot in this trend is that over time,
travellers start becoming more optimistic about their
financial situation, although still at a very modest
degree. This is explained in the data when the number
of travellers who are worried about the effects of the
pandemic on their finance decreased by 9.4% com-
pared to the results in stage 1.

The readiness of travellers in traveling again is at high level, yet,

declining with time

While worrying about impacts on health and finance,
which are the factors that cannot be affected by
policies to stimulate tourism. The readiness of travellers
can be influenced and the excitement of travellers can
be boosted to return to tourism at the earliest time.
However, in order to be able to make appropriate
policies, it is necessary to understand what travellers
are thinking and feeling about tourism in the future.
Research findings have indicated that travellers are
more hesitant when thinking about traveling in the
future. During mid-October period, the restriction in
movement restrained the travellers’ psychology, thus,
the desire for moving, traveling to different destinations
increased. On top of that, lockdown diminishing is also
a sign to show that the pandemic has turned into a
more positive direction. Therefore, when life returns to
new normal, people always think they are “quite ready”
for traveling again. However, after a period of living the
“new normal” life, with all activities gradually returning
to normal, people have become more hesitant to
travel. Especially the number of travellers choosing to
delay their trips also increased by over 7.4% in stage 2.

 VIETNAMESE TRAVEL SENTIMENT STUDY

Due to the hesitation to travel again, the level of
excitement in traveling right after the easing of restric-
tions on movement and the whole fourth quarter of
2021 was also affected. In stage 1, when the easing of
restriction was just applied, the excitement level for
traveling was high. Most travellers after a long period of
traveling interruption have high expectations and
excitement for the possibility of getting back to normal
life with more freedom in movement.
However, after a period of returning to the usual life
pace, the excitement for traveling gradually
decreased. This proves that overtime, the excitement
for traveling will be overwhelmed by other matters of
life and will be diminished. Therefore, policies and
activities to stimulate the demands along with mes-
sages that help reduce concerns to travel, should be
selected and implemented at the right time.

Changing of Vietnam travellers’ mindsets over time is also reflected in the degree of openness in seeking, receiving
travel information and promotions from DMOs and travel companies. In particular, in stage 1, with the excitement to
travel again, travellers are proactive and very open to receive travel information as well as promotions of destina-
tion from travel companies. However, the decreasing level of excitement for traveling also makes travellers less
interested in receiving information in the second stage of the survey.

WHY DO THEY HAVE SUCH PSYCHO-

LOGICAL BEHAVIOURS?

Their psychological behaviours have changed along with the pandemic

After 3 months of lock-down due to the influence of the
4th wave of Covid, on October 15th, the restriction
period began to be eased in Ho Chi Minh City as well as
in some localities affected by the pandemic. The pan-
demic situation was determined by three factors: the
number of the new cases, the number of deaths and
the vaccination rate, and was also divided into two
phases which are before and after the ease of social
restriction. In phase 1 (from September 16th to October
14th) the pandemic situation tended to improve with
the constant reductions of the number of cases and
deaths. Therefore, the survey on Travel Sentiment from
October 13rd to 15th recorded travellers were thinking
that the pandemic was getting more positive. However,
in phase 2 starting from October 22nd – 28th to
December 2nd, the increase in the number of new
cases and death lead the survey result conducted 3
weeks after (November 7th – 9th) to be more pessimistic
about the pandemic.

Travelers are very worried about traveling activities involving social gatherings

In general, travellers still have a lot of worries about traveling activities, especially activities require social
gatherings. Activities that are more individualized are associated with less anxiety, but that does not mean that
travellers will be comfortable doing these activities.

The impact of barriers is decreasing over time

Reality has shown that Covid-19 is a disease with unpredictable changes, the government’s good control of the
disease and the promotion of vaccination does not imply the reduction of the risks of the disease’s spread. Hence,
the concerns of travellers are mainly on safety and the disease evolvement stage. However, in stage 2, after the
ease of social restriction was taken placed for a while, daily life began to return, the concerns about safety as well
as the new variant were gradually reduced, instead, travellers started worrying more about financial situation. The
impact of these barriers on travellers is still very high, and it will take a long time for travellers to really feel less
worried about these matters.

Sentiment index is clearly reflected in the choice of time to travel again. In stage 1, with high sentiment index level,
they thought Tet would be a good time to be able to travel again. Meanwhile, in stage 2, the sentiment index level
decreased, travellers tend to delay their trips until March – June/2022.

Travelers are still very pessimistic with international traveling while only
travel overseas again once the pandemic is controlled and this mindset is
consistent across two survey stages

It is still a long way for international tourism to recover as all travellers in both stages agree that they will only return
to travel abroad once the pandemic is controlled. Therefore, until then, domestic tourism will still play an important
role in tourism recovery.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
To understand the concerns and travel sentiment, as well as travellers’ perceptions towards travel at the moment.
