Change in tourism practices after COVID-19 : a practical theoretical study of traveling (English)
Abstract [sv]

Coronapandemin har haft en påverkan på både samhället och olika branscher, framförallt turismbranschen då resemöjligheterna begränsades. När restriktioner infördes, begränsades människors vardagliga aktiviteter, vilket bidrog till en förändring där nya rutiner skapades. Följande uppsats har som syfte att undersöka hur praktiken turistresande har påverkats av COVID-19. Genom att analysera individers resande innan, under och efter pandemin, kan skillnader urskiljas i det faktiska beteendet. Studien behandlar turistresande utifrån praktikteorin, samt begreppet förändring. Med hjälp av en kvalitativ metod genomfördes nio semistrukturerade intervjuer med personer boende i Sverige. Respondenterna bestod av fem män och fyra kvinnor mellan åldrarna 21-29. Alla deltagare hade någon gång rest inhemskt och internationellt innan pandemin. Studiens resultat förklarar och analyserar hur resepraktiker har utförts innan, under och efter pandemin. De slutsatser som kan dras är att en viss förändring kopplat till resepraktiker i samband med COVID-19 kan identifieras bland studiens respondenter. Individerna har utvecklat en större attraktionskraft till resetyper såsom naturresor samt roadtripresor i Sverige, därav har turismbegreppet utvidgats då hemlandet numera uppfattas som en turistdestination. Samtidigt har internationella resor varit begränsade under pandemin, men är återigen av intresse för deltagarna i den här studien. Vidare kan det konstateras att tidigare forsknings slutsatser kring ett ökat resande samt en travel boom, stämmer överens med studiens respondenters önskan om att återigen resa internationellt då det anses vara meningsskapande. Det har även varit ett begränsat användande av flyg som transportmedel under COVID-19, vilket är något respondenterna åter kommer använda under kommande resor då den infrastrukturella aspekten återigen är möjlig och genomförbar. 

Abstract [en]

The corona pandemic has had an impact on both society and various industries, especially the tourism industry when travel opportunities were regulated. When restrictions were imposed, people's everyday activities were limited, which contributed to a change in which new routines were created. The following essay aims to examine how the practice of tourist travel has been affected by COVID-19. By analyzing individuals' travel before, during, and after the pandemic, differences can be discerned in actual behavior. The study deals with tourist travel based on practice theory, as well as the concept of change. Using a qualitative method, nine semi-structured interviews were conducted with people living in Sweden. Respondents consisted of five men and four women between the ages of 21-29. All participants had at some point traveled domestically and internationally before the pandemic. The results of the study explain and analyze how travel practices have been performed before, during and after the pandemic. The conclusions that can be drawn are that some change linked to travel practices associated with COVID-19 can be identified among the study's respondents. The individuals have developed a greater attractiveness to travel types such as nature trips and roadtrips in Sweden, hence, the concept of tourism has been expanded since the homeland is also perceived as a tourist destination. At the same time, international travel has been limited during the pandemic, but is again of interest to the participants in this study. Therefore, it can be concluded that previous research conclusions about increased travel and a travel boom, are consistent with the study's respondents' desire to once again travel internationally as this is considered meaningful. There has also been a limited use of air travel as a means of transport during COVID-19, which is something respondents will return to using during future trips as the infrastructural aspect is again possible and feasible. This study is written in Swedish.
