Inertia of tourists: a systematic review

The emergence of tourist inertia as a response to theoretical developments and competition for tourist destinations leaves questions and criticisms due to the need for more theoretical foundations, resulting in fragmented understanding and contradictory research. This study used the PRISMA statement as a guideline for a systematic literature review and PICO to synthesize the principal results and answer research questions. This study searched studies with published year restrictions from 2006 to 2022 and collected from Scopus-indexed journals with the ScienceDirect, Springer, Sage, JSTOR, Wiley Online Library, and Taylor & Francis Online databases. This research synthesizes and analyzes 24 relevant articles discussing current tourist inertia, habits, and research limitations. Cognitive, affective, behavioural, rationalization, tolerance, and vitality aspects are the subject of tourist inertia today. Decisions on repeat visits and post-visit experiences are debatable tourist inertial biases. Limitations of the destination domain, research dimensions, data collection techniques, measurements, generalization of findings, variables, and constructs are still limitations in tourist inertia research. The article's end includes conclusions with limitations and recommendations for further research.
