Dataset: Experimental vignette-based survey data on NPI acceptance during travel (SNSF NRP 78)

The data set contains rating scales on the willingness of the Swiss resident population to take risks in connection with touristic travel during the coronavirus pandemic. The data includes a selection of items of the Domain-Specific Risk-Taking Scale (DOSPERT) (Weber et al., 2002), the health belief model (HBM; Rosenstock, 1974, see also Champion & Skinner, 2008), and the theory of planned behaviour (Ajzen, 1991) to predict tourists’ intentions to travel under implementation of specific NPIs and the vaccination passport. The dataset contains data of N = 2’018 participants that have been collected between March 29 and April 9, 2021, based on a representative quota sampling (language region, age, gender). The data were collected based on a computer assisted web interview (CAWI) of a leading Swiss market research company. The following travel-related protective measures were tested regarding the constructs of the above-mentioned theories:

Vaccination passport

Surgical masks

Travel warnings

Rapid Testing at points of entry

FFP2 masks

PCR tests taken 72h before travel

10-day quarantine of returning travelers from high-risk areas

14-day quarantine of inbound travelers
