>>JENNIFER WAUGH: SPRING BREAK IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER AND A NEW AAA TRAVEL SURVEY IS
REVEALING THAT 60% OF
FLORIDIANS ARE JUST NOT
COMFORTABLE TRAVELING DURING
THE PANDEMIC THEIR MAIN
CONCERNS OR FEARS OF GETTING
SICK FROM
COVID-19 NEW STRAINS OF THE
VIRUS AND THE NUMBER OF
COVID-19 INFECTIONS AROUND THE
COUNTRY. NEARLY HALF OF
FLORIDIANS SAY THEY ARE
CONSTABLE STAYING IN A HOTEL,
BUT JUST 32% SAY THEY FEEL
COMFORTABLE ACTUALLY GETTING ON
A PLANE.
THE MAJORITY 83% SAY THEY DO
FEEL COMFORTABLE THOUGH
TRAVELING BY CAR
HERE IN FLORIDA AND GEORGIA
THERE ARE PLENTY OF STAYCATION
OPTIONS THAT ARE FAMILY
FRIENDLY AND DON’T REQUIRE
GETTING ON A PLANE.
