Differences in trust and risk-taking propensity for travelers from Indonesia

Traveling is a fun but risky activity depending on the destination. The risks can be reduced by careful planning, especially in the pandemic period. The purpose of this study is to explore trust and risk-taking propensity of Indonesian tourists who travel to other cities or countries. Data collection was carried out by distributing questionnaires online and offline to tourists from Indonesia who did solo or in group traveling and obtained 159 tourists. The results show that there are no differences in trust between solo travelers and group travelers, but there are differences in risk-taking propensity. However, women have more trust than men, then men are more willing to take risks than women. The benefits of this output for tourism practitioners are to create appropriate marketing strategies when offering tourism programs for both groups.
