Lack of Travel Is Taking an Emotional Toll on People, Survey Finds - People
The 2020 Amex Trendex has plenty of insight into how travelers are thinking during the global coronavirus pandemic
If forgoing travel has you a little stressed, you’re not alone. According to the 2020 Amex Trendex, a trend report from American Express, people miss travel so much that it’s taking an emotional toll and affecting their well-being.
On Thursday, American Express released its poll results after surveying 2,000 people nationwide that are considered “general population travelers” with a household income of $70,000 a year or more. The survey found that nearly half (48 percent) of respondents felt that not being able to travel makes them feel “anxious and stressed.” And, three in four consumers (78 percent) noted that traveling is “one of the top activities they miss the most right now.”
But, just because they want to travel doesn’t mean they will. As the report added, just 10 percent of consumers surveyed are planning to travel over the Labor Day weekend.
