Young Americans on spring break showing a lack of concern about COVID-19. What is the overall consensus on the current state of travel? In this new research, Upgraded Points surveyed 1,250 travelers. Here’s what they found:

A study by Upgraded Points, LLC showed that:

1 in 5 Americans don’t plan to travel until 2021; however, more than 1 in 10 people still plan to travel next month.

1 in 5 young Americans (ages 18-25) plan to travel next month.

More than 40% of Americans are concerned about catching COVID-19 while traveling. 96% of Americans over the age of 55 have concerns about traveling right now.

Over half of Americans are waiting on the government to give the “all clear” before they feel comfortable traveling again. More than 1 in 4 would feel comfortable as long as there are no new cases in the destination they’re traveling to.

This research shows that COVID-19 is going to be a lasting concern for the majority of travelers in the US for the remainder of 2020.
