This study estimated tourists’ willingness to pay (WTP) for tourist sites or facilities in the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic by applying the dichotomous choice-contingent valuation method to two different tourism destination types. A survey was conducted among domestic tourists in South Korea who had visited destinations within the last six months. We conducted a logistic regression with 1283 effective samples. The results showed differences in tourists’ WTP, depending on type, and the factors affecting WTP differed. Tourists with higher tourism attitude and knowledge of tourism risk exhibited a higher WTP. Tourists with higher perceived risk of infectious disease exhibited less WTP.
