Hello,

Every week, we survey Canadians and Americans to explore their perspectives on COVID-19 and other current events. To help you stay up to date, we are sharing the results of our latest survey.
COVID-19 SURVEY RESULTS – JULY 21, 2020
Conducted using our representative LEO (Leger Opinion) panel, in partnership with theĀ Association for Canadian StudiesĀ (ACS), and published inĀ The Canadian Press.
  • Among Canadians,Ā fear of contracting COVID-19Ā continues to climb.
  • 33% of Canadians thinkĀ governments should slow down the paceĀ at which they are relaxing social distancing/self-isolation measures, an increase of 7% from last week.
  • 50% of Canadians and 62% of AmericansĀ do not think we have reached the end of the first waveĀ of the COVID-19 pandemic.

ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON TOURISM IN NORTH AMERICA
Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic,Ā theĀ tourism industry has been effectively shut downĀ around the globe. This has resulted in a deep and direct hit to airlines, hotels, tour operators, restaurants, andĀ many other tourism-related businesses. ā€‹

While we do not yet know the full extent of the impact that COVID-19 will have, we do know that itsĀ effects will be felt long after travel bans and social distancing measures are removed.

Our new specializedĀ study focuses onĀ redefiningĀ travel and tourismĀ in the context of the COVID-19 era, andĀ developing anĀ in-depth understanding of travellersā€™ needs, motivations, and behaviourĀ in what may be a ā€œnew normal.ā€
