.@ChipRogers21: “Fewer people will be traveling, and business travel remains nearly non-existent. Millions of Americans are out of work, and thousands of #smallbiz are struggling to keep their doors open.” Read the full results of our survey in @Forbes:https://t.co/1sVGdN2uF3

This year’s COVID-19 pandemic has infected over 52.4 million people globally and there have been over 1.28 million deaths around the world. More specifically, the United States has had over 10.44 million infections and over 242,070 reported deaths.

Many companies have changed to remote work this year, resulting in employees traveling less for work. 

COVID-19 cases are rising across the U.S., leading to increased hospitalisations and Americans putting travel on the back burner. 

The survey reveals that 3 in 10 Americans have embarked on an overnight trip since March 2020.
