Резюме:
The research explores post-pandemic travel intentions, the availability of travel funds and accommodation
preferences in Bulgaria and Azerbaijan – two countries with similar demographic and territorial
characteristics but relatively different consumption patterns and tourist behaviour. In both countries,
tourism forms a major part of the national economy and it has been hit by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
The findings reveal major differences between the responses received in these countries in terms of how
respondents perceive the current phase of the pandemic, and of post-pandemic travel intentions. The study
concludes that it will be difficult to implement a common strategy for a post-pandemic tourism recovery.
