Avaliação da intenção dos potenciais turistas na escolha de Moçambique como destino de viagem no período pós-pandemia

Abstract

The present work addresses the evaluation of the behavior of potential tourists in choosing Mozambique as a travel destination in the post-pandemic period. For the materialization of this work, bibliographic and field research was favored through the online questionnaire survey, created through the Google Formas platform, made available through social networks (Faceboock, Instagram and WhatsApp and by email), having been applied to a sample non-probabilistic for convenience. The aim of this study was to assess the behavior of (potential) tourists in choosing Mozambique as a travel destination in the post-pandemic period. Among the main conclusions reached, the study found that the low general cost of travel, the low price of air tickets, the ease of obtaining a tourist visa, recommendations from friends and family and the affection and sympathy for Mozambique are factors that motivate tourists and would motivate international tourists to visit Mozambique in the post-pandemic period. At the other end of the study, the persistence of concerns or illnesses related to the pandemic and/or sociopolitical problems, the cancellation of trips by airlines or travel agencies, the massive closure of entertainment establishments and the increase in travel and accommodation costs would demotivate tourists visiting Mozambique.
