COVID-19 Travel Survey - We Have Stayed At Home Today, How Will We Travel Tomorrow?

Introduction

Whilst most of us are all still largely locked-in, we can dream about travel tomorrow and when that tomorrow comes, we want to be sure that we (and our loved ones) stay safe. As such, we have created this survey to better understand what is important to travellers around the world, how they are likely to behave and whether any patterns or behaviours emerge based on segments of the surveyed population.

Thank you for taking ten minutes to answer this survey. The data is being collected and (non-personal / identifiable data) shared publicly by Tengah Island Conservation to understand the prospects and potential pathways for tourism's recovery. Please follow the link for more information on this study.
