The Foreign Secretary states that a further attack is highly likely.
Is this the end of tourism, at least for the foreseeable future?

Don't know if that question was addressed to me but I had to go to Ulster during the troubles on a couple of occasions.

no retrocop it was addressed to Dieseldick and his stupid remark about not visiting any muslim country for a holiday.

It will recover.

There were 3 bombs in Marmaris, Turkey a few years ago, and several million Brits are holidaying there this summer.

Likewise Sharm el Sheik, Egypt was bombed but hundreds of thousands of Brits are there now.

The 7/7 bombs didn't end London's tourist trade.

Targeting tourists as an economic weapon is nothing new.

// cant get my head around anyone who goes to an islamic country for a holiday. //

More fool you.

Gromit -people will continue to go to these places as its a relatively cheap holiday -its either costa del bomb or Butlins and some will take the chance.
