Studies across the social sciences are making increasing use of an evolutionary perspective. Yet, despite its potential, the application of evolutionary psychology in tourism research is scant. Evolutionary psychology is arguably one of the most useful approaches to understanding the effects of the Coronavirus pandemic on the tourist's psyche. This research highlights, explains, and empirically demonstrates the vast untapped potential of this perspective for post-COVID-19 tourism research. The authors develop an Evolutionary Tourism Paradigm, which is based on biological epistemology and theory to address questions in post-COVID-19 tourism research. This paradigm is brought to life through a developed ocean and islands model, and its utility for future research endeavors on the Coronavirus pandemic is empirically demonstrated in two studies.

了解 COVID-19 游客心理：进化旅游范式


社会科学领域的研究越来越多地运用进化论的观点。然而，尽管进化心理学具有潜力，但它在旅游研究中的应用却很少。进化心理学可以说是理解冠状病毒大流行对游客心理影响的最有用的方法之一。这项研究强调、解释并实证证明了这一观点在后 COVID-19 旅游研究中尚未开发的巨大潜力。作者开发了一种基于生物认识论和理论的进化旅游范式，旨在解决后 COVID-19 旅游研究中的问题。这一范式通过发达的海洋和岛屿模型得以实现，两项研究实证证明了其对未来冠状病毒大流行研究工作的实用性。
