Seeing the invisible hand: Underlying effects of COVID-19 on tourists’ behavioral patterns (2020, unknown): “Adventure and risk are central to the construction of backpackers’ identities and travel narratives (Elsrud, 2001; Noy, 2007).”
The effect of coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) risk perception on behavioural intention towards ‘untact’ tourism in South Korea during the first wave of the pandemic (March 2020) (2020, background): “Thus, it is plausible that females evaluated the risk more negatively than males (Elsrud, 2001; Olstead, 2011), which might have influenced their stronger tendency to inhibit their intention towards untact tourism during the pandemic.”
Solo female travel risks, anxiety and travel intentions: examining the moderating role of online psychological-social support (2020, background): “Solo female travelers are seen as voluntary risk-taking adventurous travelers, and as stated by Elsrud (2001), this risk-taking behavior is inconsistent with social expectations.”
Exploring the cognitive–affective nature of destination image and the role of psychological factors in its formation (2008, background): “More concretely, risk perception increases with the degree of novelty associated with a tourist destination (Elsrud, 2001).”
Destination Image and Behavior Intention of Travelers to Thailand: the Moderating Effect of Perceived Risk (2013, background): “According to Elsrud (2001), political, religious, and crime risk are perceived as a universal problem, something travelers must accept, and that does not vary among role, gender, or experience.”
Tourism Risk and Uncertainty (2015, background): “For example, Elsrud (2001) writes about how backpackers produce narratives about their visits to particular places, in terms of thrills, adventure, and danger, which may challenge other tourists’ imaginaries.”
Drugs and Tourists’ Experiences (2005, result): “Note that by relying on a sample of 30 interviewees, the present study conforms to contemporary tourism research based on in-depth interviews (e.g., Elsrud 2001; Hunter-Jones 2004; Hyde and Lawson 2003; Uriely, Yonay, and Simchai 2002).”
Exploring the Tourist Experience (2017, background): “Moreover, they are thought to value social interactions with locals and other travelers, take risks in search for authentic experiences, and be drawn to natural landscapes (Chen, Bao, and Huang 2014b; Elsrud 2001; Hyde and Lawson 2003; Speed and Harrison 2004).”
Globalisation and food consumption in tourism (2012, background): “For instance, viewing the cooking process of deep fried bugs by street vendors in Bangkok may elicit feelings of repulsion amongst certain tourists (Elsrud, 2001) even though the act of viewing involves much less risk than consuming the insects themselves.”
Risk-tourism, risk-taking and subjective well-being: A review and synthesis (2017, background): “Elsrud (2001) When taking risks, life is carved out rather than merely lived in the imprints of others (p. 603).”
Backpackers’ perceived risks towards smartphone usage and risk reduction strategies: A mixed methods study (2019, background): “Contrary to past studies (e.g. Elsrud, 2001) that found risk and adventure to be fundamental aspects of backpacking, more current studies report otherwise (Adam, 2015; Adam & Adongo, 2016; Badu-baiden et al., 2016).”
Tourism, risk tolerance and competences: Travel organization and tourism hazards ☆ (2013, background): “For example, Elsrud (2001) demonstrated that both risk and adventure were critical in the construction of backpacker identities.”
