Perception of Health and Safety Precautions for Post- Pandemic Malaysia Domestic Travelling Decision

Abstract

Covid-19 has produced conditions that impact all countries and individuals worldwide, causing society to adjust their political, economic, and social behaviour on an unprecedented scale in the contemporary age. The researchers wanted to research whether the independent variable (destination choice, accommodation hygiene, and group size) and the dependent variable (decision-making) were related. 384 questionnaires were distributed to those travelling during the post-pandemic era. The researcher conducted questionnaires through social media such as WhatsApp, Instagram and Twitter. Descriptive analysis was used to describe the respondent's demographic and to study the relationship between Independent Variables (IV) and Dependent Variable (DV) by using Pearson correlation. A pilot study was used to measuring the reliability of the questionnaire. The researcher conducted a pilot study with 30 respondents before conducting the questionnaire. Data for pilot tests were conducted using Cronbach’s Alpha analysis to ensure the internal reliability of the information. This research will also benefit future research to further studies related to this topic.
