A recent survey performed by Promoleaf in conjunction with Censuswide of more than 1,000 people who frequently traveled for business before COVID-19 reveals many are ready to get back on the road (and in the air). However, they are also concerned with safety.

In fact, a majority (67%) of business travelers are in favor of vaccination passports.

  • When asked if they would pay for an early vaccine if it meant they could resume business travel and how much they would pay, just over 80% of respondents said yes, they would pay.
    • How much? While there was a wide range of answers, most would pay between $50-$300, with nearly 20% willing to pay between $300 to over $500.
  • A majority (67%) are in favor of a vaccine passport for those who travel regularly.
    • The highest level of indifference (28%) came from the youngest age group, those between 16-24, and arguably those at the lowest risk for severe symptoms and complications from COVID-19.
  • While many would pay for vaccines if required, most feel either the government or their employer should pay for them.
  • 78% of respondents feel the families of business travelers should also be vaccinated including 94% of those who travel on a daily basis.

You said you think your company should require people to be vaccinated in order to travel for business, do you think this should be extended to their family/members of their household?
