Vol.3, No.1C

Abstract

This study presents the result of the travel risk analysis of the tourists' experiences in Tagaytay during the COVID-19 virus. The dangers posed by the COVID-19 pandemic have altered all of the procedures involved in travel preparation. Several travel restrictions and health protocols have been implemented in various local locations throughout the country, with the number of restrictions and protocols varying depending on the municipality. This study utilized a qualitative research method and distributed survey questionnaires where the researchers focused on fifty (50) selective tourists of Tagaytay, Philippines. We created three parts of the survey questionnaires based on the problem statement and separated each problem accordingly. This study aimed to gain insight into visitors' experiences who visited Tagaytay, Philippines, whether negative or positive, during the epidemic. The researchers will gather the participants' perceptions through structured questionnaires, and the interview will take place on Google Forms. Codes will emerge as a result of interpretative phenomenological analysis. The benefit of this study is to give the tourism and hospitality industry stakeholders information to know the impact of the pandemic on the experiences of tourists, whether the tourists favour all the restrictions and protocols, and whether they will still be willing to travel for their different motivations.
