SINGAPORE: More than 40 per cent of people in Singapore expect to travel less frequently even after the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a survey by London-based Inmarsat Aviation.
The Passenger Confidence Tracker survey - commissioned by the satellite communications firm Inmarsat and conducted by management consultancy Yonder - surveyed almost 10,000 people across 12 countries including Brazil, Finland, India, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates and the United States. "Given this newfound knowledge, it is with little surprise that passengers will continue to exercise caution when booking travel, even when COVID-19 is completely eliminated, by traveling less frequently in the earlier stages of recovery."Mr Coiley told CNA the initial stages of post-pandemic recovery as critical for airlines, noting passengers would take these as a litmus test for future trips.
Another concern was having to quarantine for a period of up to two weeks upon arrival, which 72 per cent of Singapore respondents said was a major worry. This is comparable with the global response, with about 27 per cent of all those surveyed across the 12 countries saying they were confident to fly within the next six months, and 18 per cent confident of doing so within the next year.
Yes, if testing and restriction are still required, at least I won't go for leisure travel
If the vaccine shows desired effectiveness and with the combination of additional measures , hopefully thing are gonna slowly recover.
