Abstract

In the process of unlocking India after the COVID-19 outbreak, the travel and tourism industry is resuming to revive the economy. It is substantial to examine the contemporary state of transportation in India and travelers' perspectives post COVID-19 spread. The descriptive study is aimed to investigate the effect of COVID-19 on travel patterns of Indians, their tour plans, readiness for availing transportation services, and perspectives regarding the reoperation of transportation services in India. For this study, an online survey was conducted to gather primary data. A total of 212 responses were collected through convenient sampling. This study revealed that COVID-19 has extremely affected the perspectives and choices of people regarding different transportation services. They consider transportation a major cause of spreading the Corona virus and the railway was considered the riskiest. Although half of the respondents reported their readiness to avail public transportation and stated that reoperation of transportation services was done on time. However private vehicles were their priority not only for their regular travels but for future tours also. Travelers were doubtful about the effective implementation of rules and regulations in public transportation in India. The study provides useful understandings to the tourism & transportation authorities and operators regarding the travelers' perspective concerning transportation amid COVID-19. For further research, the perspective of transportation operators can be investigated for valuable insights and longitudinal research can also provide in-depth understandings.
COVID-19传播后印度的当代交通状况:旅行者的视角
在新冠肺炎疫情后的解锁过程中,印度正在恢复旅游业,以振兴经济。研究2019冠状病毒病传播后印度的当代交通状况和旅行者的观点是很有意义的。该描述性研究旨在调查2019冠状病毒病对印度人的旅行模式、旅游计划、利用交通服务的准备情况以及对印度交通服务重新运营的看法。在这项研究中,我们进行了一项在线调查来收集原始数据。通过方便抽样,共收集到212份问卷。该研究表明,COVID-19极大地影响了人们对不同交通服务的看法和选择。他们认为交通运输是传播冠状病毒的主要原因,铁路被认为是最危险的。虽然有一半的受访者表示他们愿意利用公共交通工具,并表示交通服务的重新运营是按时完成的。然而,私家车不仅是他们日常旅行的首选,也是他们未来旅行的首选。旅客们对印度公共交通法规的有效执行表示怀疑。该研究为旅游和交通管理部门和运营商提供了关于COVID-19期间游客对交通的看法的有用理解。为了进一步研究,可以从运输运营商的角度进行调查,以获得有价值的见解,而纵向研究也可以提供深入的理解。
