Summer Holidays During the Pandemic
Despite the coronavirus pandemic and the various restrictions brought in by the authorities after the epidemic was officially announced on 20 March 2020, a significant part of Polish adults (42%) intend to go away this year for at least two days (with at least one overnight stop). At the same time, over a half of these (53%) say that the pandemic has changed this year’s holiday plans for them. Of those not intending to go away, just under a fifth (19%) have changed their previous plans. Overall, 36% of adult Poles say that they have had to change their earlier plans for this year’s summer holiday because of the pandemic.
More on this subject in the CBOS report.
This ‘Current Events and Problems’ survey (359) was conducted using a mixed-mode procedure on a representative sample of named adult residents of Poland, randomly selected from the National Identity Number (PESEL) register.
Respondents independently selected one of the following methods:
– Computer Assisted Personal Interview (CAPI);
– Computer Assisted Telephone Interview (CATI), respondents receiving researchers’ telephone numbers in an introductory letter from CBOS;
– Computer Assisted Web Interview (CAWI), where respondents filled in the online questionnaire independently, gaining access by means of a login and password provided in an introductory letter from CBOS.
– Computer Assisted Personal Interview (CAPI);
– Computer Assisted Telephone Interview (CATI), respondents receiving researchers’ telephone numbers in an introductory letter from CBOS;
– Computer Assisted Web Interview (CAWI), where respondents filled in the online questionnaire independently, gaining access by means of a login and password provided in an introductory letter from CBOS.
In all three cases the questionnaire had the same structure and comprised the same questions. The survey was carried out between 22 May and 4 June 2020 inclusive on a sample of 1308 people (61.6% using the CAPI method, 24.4% CATI and 14% CAWI).
