Abstract: Not being able to travel an unprecedented condition for many. This paper focuses on the sense of being trapped in lockdown and having to adapt to new – non-tourist – roles. The aim is to conceptualize the lockdown captivity phenomenon and to propose this concept as measurable, and relevant to tourism. Using an adapted role captivity scale, we provide empirical findings on the impact on individuals of losing their tourist role. This study is part of a wider research project on the travel related cognitive and affective dimensions experienced during the Covid-19 lockdown.
