Only 12%, or approximately one in eight Individuals, is planning a trip for spring break this yr, according to new data by Destination Analysts commissioned by the U.S. Travel Association. That quantity dropped from 16% in a poll performed a week earlier.
It’s an indication, perhaps, that the majority are still hesitant to travel till vaccinations are more widespread, and as more trip hotspots are implementing restrictions.
Miami Beach earlier this month announced it was imposing various health and safety measures throughout its “high impact period” through April 12, throughout which there shall be no alcohol, coolers, tables, tents, or live music at public beaches. And capacity limits are also in place at some of the city’s extra crowded beaches, according to the guidelines. And Fort Lauderdale Mayor Steve Gellar mentioned locals and visitors should anticipate more law enforcement in busy areas, with social distancing and mask-wearing requirements being heavily enforced.
Internationally, however, popular tourist destinations in Mexico are easing restrictions. Cancun, Playa del Carmen, and Tulum are raising capacity limits from 30% to 60% at hotels, restaurants, and beaches, Quintana Roo government officers announced on Twitter. Group tours and attractions will also be permitted to function at 60% capacity.
The travel trade was among the hardest hit throughout the pandemic, with the travel and leisure sector making up for 39% of jobs lost as a result of nationwide shutdowns, according to the U.S. Travel Association.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), meanwhile, is continuing to advise against travel during this time. For those that do need to travel, the agency urges mask-wearing, social distancing, testing (both before and after arrival), and quarantining upon arrival.
