The
Trend of New Year Travel Plans
On hearing the word '2020',
the first thing that comes to mind is the panic ensued by the pandemic. The
year ushered in thousands of adversities on a completely unimaginable scale.
All major festivities went by as people were trying to observe the necessary
precautions. A gigantic question mark loomed over all the travel plans
throughout the year. And when it came to the New Year, we couldn't help but
wonder what happened with those plans. Were people fed up by the situation and
had decided to carry on with their plans or the scare of the virus still
persisted in the minds of the people? We conducted a poll with 2,204
respondents which revealed 48.87% of them aren't travelling till the
coronavirus is over. As far as international travel goes, 4.85% of the respondents
are travelling alone while 8.44% of them are travelling with their families and
4.17% are travelling with their friends. Coming to travel plans within the
country, 3.58% are travelling alone; 7.30% have a trip planned with their
friends, and; 9.75% have plans with their families. 13.02% of the respondents,
however, don't have a plan yet. Travel plans or not, we feel one thing is
certain no one will forget how they spent this New Year.
