Restraint in cultural consumption
A third of the Swiss population only want to resume cultural visits once the coronavirus crisis is finally over. This was the result of a survey conducted at the end of August 2020 on behalf of the Federal Office of Culture (FOC) and the Conference of Cantonal Culture Commissioners (CCC).
As a result, the BAK writes, reluctance has increased. At the beginning of June, only a quarter of the population wanted to wait until the end of the crisis before visiting cultural events. The survey also shows that the protective measures adopted and the support provided by the public sector to the cultural sector have met with broad approval.
At the beginning of June 2020, 24% of respondents were still prepared to visit cultural institutions or events again "without major reservations". The proportion had fallen to 18% by the end of August. 42% of respondents stated that they would not resume cultural visits before 2021; in the first survey, the figure was 22%.
There are certain differences in terms of the type of cultural offerings: While 36 percent of respondents state that they do not intend to visit a museum or exhibition before 2021, the proportion with regard to "performances such as concerts, theater, opera, dance, etc." is 43 percent.
