Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to explore how the travel habits of Ukrainian tourists changed after the beginning of the 2022 war in Ukraine in comparison to the year 2021. The theoretical part of the paper discusses the impacts of war on tourism; in the empirical part, the secondary and the primary research on the Ukrainians’ travel habits before and during the war is performed. The research gives an insight into the frequency of travelling, planned spending on travel, ethnic dilemmas on travelling, and travel destinations. The research is essential in the context of war and post-war periods for understanding the psychological and behavioral effects, assessing economic consequences, addressing destination marketing and recovery efforts, and facilitating reconciliation and social integration. Research limitations include the scope and generalizability of the findings, self-reporting biases, causality and temporal issues, and limited timeframe and context.

Secondary title:	Vplivi vojne 2022 v Ukrajini na potovalne navade ukrajinskih turistov
Secondary abstract:	Namen tega članka je raziskati, kako so se spremenile potovalne navade ukrajinskih turistov po začetku vojne v Ukrajini leta 2022 v primerjavi z letom 2021. V teoretičnem delu prispevka so obravnavani vplivi vojne na turizem, v empiričnem delu pa je opravljena sekundarna in primarna raziskava o potovalnih navadah Ukrajincev pred vojno in med njo. Raziskava omogoča vpogled v pogostost potovanj, načrtovane izdatke za potovanja, etnične dileme o potovanjih in potovalne destinacije. Raziskava je pomembna v kontekstu vojnega in povojnega obdobja za razumevanje psiholoških in vedenjskih učinkov, oceno gospodarskih posledic, obravnavo trženja destinacij in prizadevanj za obnovo ter spodbujanje sprave in družbenega vključevanja. Omejitve raziskave so v obsegu in možnostih posploševanja ugotovitev, pristranskosti samoporočanja, vzročnosti in časovnih vprašanjih ter omejenem časovnem okviru in kontekstu.
