Short-term travel dented by Delta

support among American travellers to open their communities to visitors has dropped from a peak of 67% in early Jun to 57% this week, a new study by Longwoods International has found.

Confidence to travel domestically in the US has been impacted by increased spread of the Delta variant, which has led to an increase in hospitalisations and deaths in the country.

The survey also saw travellers express solid support for inbound int’l travellers to be fully vaccinated before entering, with more than half wanting it to be mandated and 14% in favour of the requirement for travellers from “high-risk” countries.
