Latest Traveler Sentiment Survey Results
The Traveler Sentiment Survey, a U.S. National sample of 1,000 adults 18+, concluded that 74% of travelers planning to travel in the next six months will change their travel plans due to coronavirus. While some travelers are just reducing plans, changing their destination to one they can drive to as opposed to fly, or changing their trip from international to domestic, others are completely cancelling their trip.
