Abstract

The paralysis of global tourism caused by COVID-19 made it possible to conduct a unique and nearly real-time online survey to investigate adaptations and reactions to sudden severe leisure travel restrictions among residents in the Oslo metropolitan area of Norway during the 2020 Easter/spring holiday period. Stress relief, socialising, social bonds and discoveries of local recreation options were important home holiday experiences. Vacation challenges under lockdown included few opportunities for novelty and the chance of liminoid situations – reversal or bracketing of everyday routine existence. The enforced Easter staycation advanced reflections on impending leisure travel, indicating limited opportunities to boost future low-carbon near-home Easter holiday experiences. Path dependencies towards second homes and spatially stretched social obligations, as well as emphasis on freedom of movement, ostensibly constrain vacation travel habit discontinuities at this time of the year.

摘要

COVID-19 造成的全球旅游业瘫痪使得开展一项独特且近乎实时的在线调查成为可能，以调查 2020 年复活节/春季期间挪威奥斯陆都会区居民对突发的严格休闲旅行限制的适应和反应假期期间。缓解压力、社交、社交纽带和发现当地的娱乐选择是家庭度假的重要体验。禁闭期间的假期挑战包括很少有新奇的机会和出现 liminoid 情况的机会——日常例行存在的逆转或包围。强制的复活节居家度假让人们对即将到来的休闲旅行产生了深思熟虑，这表明未来提升低碳近家复活节假期体验的机会有限。
