In the past two decades, the world has experienced many unexpected crisis and the tourism sector is vulnerable to all these natural and man-made crises. These crises involve earthquakes, extreme climates, tsunamis, terrorist activity, diseases, and safety concerns. Diseases and health crises have the greatest influence on the tourism economy and travel industry. COVID-19 is an ongoing global pandemic with a widespread influence on the tourism sector around the world. Understanding the relationships between risk perceptions and intent to travel during this health pandemic is essential to enhance tourism demand and help destination recovery. In reviewing tourism literature, it is found that there is a limited amount of research on travelers' perceptions of risk and their travel intentions during the outbreak of COVID-19 and specifically in Oman. Hence, this thesis aims to explore the impacts of the COVID-19 on Omani travelers' perceived risks and their future travel intentions. Filling these gaps aids to provide valuable insights into the relationship between travel intentions and perceptions of risk during health crises. In order to explore the influence of risk perception and intent to travel, this study relies on a quantitative approach. Convenience sampling were used to gather data from Omani travelers through online questionnaires that were distributed inside and outside SQU via WhatsApp and SQU mail. The study yielded 542 online questionnaires. Performing the method of PLS SEM (Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling) using SmartPLS 2.0.M3 and SPSS software helps to develop and evaluate the study model to give a thorough knowledge of the effect of perception of risks on future travel intentions and the other factors that influence travel intentions. The findings of the study indicate that social risk and psychological risk have a significant and negative impact on travel intention, health risks have a positive and significant impact on travel intention while financial risk did not have significant effect on travel intention. It was found that the importance and strength of these relationships vary based on media exposure, past experience and participants' sociodemographic characteristics. Thus, this study helps tourism stakeholders to enhance their current plans and programs and adapt new marketing strategies in order to stimulate and improve the international and domestic tourism market.
