ABSTRACT: The COVID-19 pandemic was a crucial part of all of our lives. It changed how we think about travelling; it brought a lot of stress to people locked up in their homes, and people who usually liked to travel a lot suddenly found themselves unable to go anywhere. This caused a lot of mental stress, which manifested itself in depression, anxiety, and other negative things. This paper gives a review of the effects of the pandemic on consumer preferences. A review of six papers has been given. It was found that people have changed their spending, shopping, and leisure habits due to the pandemic, which has positive as well as negative effects. After the pandemic subsided, people were ready to travel, but with a changed mindset, they would avoid crowded places, sometimes opting for solo travel; they avoided shopping in the mall as there was a risk of getting infected; they would resume shopping online and getting things delivered to them. They became extra cautious of their surroundings, cleaning their homes multiple times a day; it can even be characterised as obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). All those behavioural changes were caused by excessive lockdown and being scared of the virus. This mentality needs to change, and people should start being as social as they were before the pandemic. This paper shows how the travel industry has been affected by the pandemic, how it has gradually recovered, and what more can be done to prevent future collapses of this kind.
