According to new research by Skyscanner and OnePoll, the majority of UK travellers are happy to share their health information digitally in order to travel overseas.
The survey found that more than half (59%) of Brits said they would carry health information in a digital pass if required to do so in order to travel.
Additionally, nearly a quarter (24%) said they would do so to avoid travel quarantine restrictions.
Only 8% said they would not carry digital health information.
The survey also found that 35% of respondents would feel more confident about travelling to a destination if it required all travellers to be vaccinated while 34% would be more confident about overseas travel by air if their chosen airline opted into a health pass scheme. Hugh Aitken, VP Flights at Skyscanner said: “With vaccine roll outs and news of a roadmap out of lockdown renewing international travel hopes, the question now is how we return to travel safely, once it’s possible to do so again.
“Since the beginning of the pandemic, travellers have shown they are willing to react and adapt to changing requirements in order to be able to travel safely.”
The survey findings come on the back of surging demand to travel again following details of the government’s roadmap out of lockdown.
