Nearly 6% of respondents said they had plans to travel abroad but canceled it, while 3% still made a reservation that they are ready to cancel.

Conversely, 12% of respondents are not discouraged by their plans to travel outside of Canada.

Generally, it is Canadians aged 55 and over who are less interested (69%), compared to 58% for those aged 35 to 54 and 53% for those aged 18 to 34.

More than half (58%) also said they were worried about a possible return of health restrictions due to the increase in COVID-19 cases in the country.
