Fear of Coronavirus Continues to Hammer U.S. Travel Industry
|
According to the most recent Longwoods International tracking study of American travelers, about half of American travelers say fear of spreading or contracting COVID-19 is preventing them from taking trips. Beyond fears of spreading or contracting COVID-19, American travelers are hindered from taking trips by unclear health and safety protocols (37%) and personal health concerns (36%). Only 13% of American travelers have no hesitations about traveling.
