The coronavirus hysteria that paralyzed tourism for two years is off the agenda. Even in law-abiding Germany, about a quarter of potential tourists are no longer afraid of this infection. Moreover, 25% of tourists said they would not hesitate to travel even if they knew they had the coronavirus. Moreover, this figure is significantly higher among young people.
This result was shown by survey data of local travel portals Urlaubsguru and YouGov. More than 2,000 German tourists took part in the survey and demonstrated that those who are afraid of the pandemic in Germany are already tired.
Thus, 25% of respondents declared their willingness to travel under certain conditions, even if they catch the virus. At the same time, 69% would abandon the trip if they caught the coronavirus, and another 6% still have no opinion.
At the same time, experts noted a clear age gradation – the younger the potential tourist, the more he is ready to take risks. Among students, the share of those who chose the answer, “I would still go, even if I have coronavirus” was 57%, and “young professionals” aged 18 to 34 chose this option in 43% of cases, but older people – only in 24 %.
