Abstract
The world was struck by an unparalleled health, social, and economic crisis due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the travel and tourism industry was among the severely affected industries. In a 'travel bubble', a set of countries agree to open their borders to each other while the borders to all other countries are closed. This allowed the people to move freely within the bubble and helped to restore the inbound cash flow streams associated with international tourism and travel. The current research is framed to understand Indian tourists' perception of travelling within available travel bubbles amidst the pandemic and to focus on the travel bubble concept from a post-COVID perspective.
