A trip is better than sex nearly 4 out of 10 Americans say so: what would you give up to go on a trip?

The Covid-19 pandemic has disrupted the lives of everyone in every corner of the Earth. If it was initially thought possible to contain the spread of the virus in certain areas, such as Australia and New Zealand, 2020 showed how illusory such hopes were. No one was able to continue a "normal life." We were all forced to give up our daily lives and, almost totally, even the ability to travel.
In this article:
Over the past two decades there has been a widespread notion, with good reason, that anyone could reach anywhere in the world. No travel was precluded, and by staying on one's own continent, it was possible to travel with relatively little expense. All of this was taken away from us out of the blue, and a year had passed since the pandemic began, Trivago wanted to conduct a survey among travel nostalgics. "What would you be willing to give up can to go back to travel?" asked respondents.
Give us back our travels
The survey conducted by Trivago involved more than 2,000 subjects, divided equally between United States e United Kingdom. An intriguing way to conduct a market survey, the goal of which is to be able to find out how different potential customers intend to plan future vacations in the near future.
Did you get your flight cancelled, miss your connection, land late?
You could get up to 600€ compensation per person
One of the most interesting results is the fact that the81% of Americans sees the inability to travel as one of the worst parts of the pandemic that is plaguing the world. A restriction of personal freedom that far outweighs the fear of having to face the virus firsthand, or on the skin of loved ones.
A clear demonstration of how the possibility of taking flight at any time is now an integral part of our being. Something we are unwilling to see slip away. The investigation also takes a spicy turn, so to speak. The 38% of the respondents Would be ready to give up sex For an entire year. All as long as you can board the next plane.
Sex does not, however, represent the only renunciation that many respondents seem willing to give up. 25% say they are ready to invest all one's savings to plan a dream vacation that can banish all the nightmares of this past year. The 48%, even, would ignore his own work commitments. He would therefore be willing to losing one's employment. All this makes it clear how traveling is not a fad, a plus in our lives. Something we can give up so easily. Not for the latest generation.
While there are those who seem ready not to practice sex for twelve months, there is a 20% ready to leave behind current sweetheart, for the sole purpose of leaving as soon as possible. There is also a tendency to think that the desire to travel is solely limited to the desire to indulge in a vacation. However, the study conducted by Trivago highlighted another great general urgency.
About 3/4 of the more than two thousand respondents explained that they wanted to board a plane in order to be able to join their family as soon as possible. Whether they are blood relatives or the family composed mainly of friends that has been created over the years, there are households that have been separated for months, and in many cases for more than a year, that are looking forward to meeting again.
