Résumé
OBJECTIVE: This public opinion research report assesses how attitudes and perception of health risk has changed for Canadians travelling abroad between 2019 and 2023. It evaluates whether travellers have adjusted their travel habits since the onset of COVID-19, particularly their health preparation, and gathers information on where travellers are seeking travel health advice (if at all). BACKGROUND: In 2019, the Public Health Agency of Canada conducted a public opinion research survey of travellers to non-U.S. international destinations. Since this time, the COVID-19 border measures implemented in Canada and across the globe may have changed how travellers perceive risk and what actions they take to protect their health. The 2023 public opinion research provided an assessment of current attitudes and practices regarding planned travel. METHOD: Quantitative research: 3,200 Canadians who had recently or intended to travel to an international destination were surveyed online between April 18 and May 5, 2023. Qualitative research: 65 Canadians across six (6) online focus groups held between August 28-30, 2023. All participants had travelled outside of Canada within the past 12 months and/or had plans to travel outside of Canada in the next 12 months.
