To Travel or Not to Travel?
Travel Blog • Michael Yessis • 02.25.03 | 3:47 PM ET
We generally like to focus here on stories about people traveling, but the big story in the U.S. these days continues to be about how Americans are feeling about traveling, or not traveling, particularly given fears of terrorism and the likelihood of an invasion of Iraq. Enter the pollsters. In a recent New York Times/CBS News poll of 747 people, 55 percent of respondents said “they would not travel overseas in the next six months, regardless of vacation time or money,” Sunday’s New York Times reports. “Of those, 5 percent said the chance of war with Iraq was the reason for not going beyond North America.” What’s more, “among the 55 percent who said they weren’t going overseas any time soon, 21 percent said they were generally afraid to do so or thought the world is just too unsettled.” (Registration required.)
