Abstract:
Background:The COVID-19 pandemic focused public attention on the importance of responsible
tourism. The purpose of this study was to characterise irresponsible tourist behaviour leading to deportation from the destination country
Methods:A web-based search of media reports relating to deportations of tourists was conducted.
Results:The most common reasons for deportation were related to indecent exposure or physical damage to sacred monuments and violations of COVID-19-related national public health rules. Other incidents resulted from social media posts and breach of environmental regulations.
Conclusions:The results of this study may inform future research efforts and targeted public awareness campaigns.
