An online questionnaire form was used to collect research data. The questionnaire form consists of two sections: “COVID-19 and Holiday Intention” and “Sociodemographic Characteristic”. The “COVID-19 and Holiday Intention” section of the questionnaire form contains 34 statements and was adapted from the research statements of Pappas (2021). The “Sociodemographic Characteristics” section of the questionnaire form contains four closed-ended questions (gender, age, education status, and income). The questionnaire was administered to participants voluntarilybetween February 09 and March 16, 2022.
