The results found that perceived susceptibility, self-efficacy, and travel risk perception positively and significantly influence travel avoidance directly. Only travel risk perception significantly impacted tourists' destination choices. Indirectly, perceived susceptibility and travel risk perception greatly influenced destination choice, with travel avoidance as a moderator variable. Travel risk perception was the most influential factor to travel avoidance and tourists' destination choice during the Covid19 outbreak.
