From the literature on the impact of Covid-19 to tourism industry, it can be inferred that tourists’ confidence must be hit heavily now. The objective of this research is to analyse the attitudes and feelings of tourists to any destinations and pay attention to tourists who planned to travel to Balearic Islands. Through online individual interview and questionnaires, this research will combine correlation analysis method and difference analysis method to explore the potential relationship between different socioeconomic factors with tourists’ confidence under the impact of Covid-19. The results show that tourists are not very confident about traveling,but female and British tourists have the highest travel confidence.Qualitative method will be uesd to explain the results.In the conclusion, based on the previous study, what is positive policy to improve the confidence is discussed.
