Terrorism Scares Away the Tourists Europe Was Counting On
NY Times ^ | July 29, 2016 | Liz Alderman

The shocks have come one after another: Islamic State killings of civilians in Brussels and Nice. A deadly outburst of terrorism in Germany. A fresh terror-linked atrocity in a small French town. Warnings abound that more may be on the way.

The surge of attacks in Europe has raised questions over whether a potentially durable new threat to stability is settling in. The political challenges for Europe’s leaders are stark, and the impact on the region’s economy may be just as profound.

Less tourists in western Europe, more tourists going to the eastern part of Europe.

“...The political challenges for Europe’s leaders are stark,...”

Actually, the choice is very simple.

Remove the Moslem invaders, forcibly stop more from coming in, regain your National identity, hold fast to YOUR German, French, Italian, Spanish, English, traditions, culture, heritage, and protect YOUR OWN PEOPLE.

See? It’s pretty simple.

Tourism is a huge portion of their economy. When Fall rolls around and they get the summer numbers Western Europe is going to burn.

I’m not cancelling my plans to visit Europe next year. But I am modifying them and adding some possible scenarios.

My husband asked me the just before the Nice attack when I wanted to go to Paris. I told him I didn’t. He has travel buddies that wanted to go to Turkey in late October for their coin hobby work. He told them early in the year he would be too nervous about the election to travel then, so they decided not to go. Boy is he glad they did not make travel plans! One of them who is Swedish, travels all over the world with no cares at all. I’ve got a feeling his not being an American helps him.

Brother and sister in law were supposed to go to Monoco for vacation that they’d paid for in a charity raffle.
10 days prior to it, Larry said there was No Way he woulf fly to Nice and go on the trip.
They argued about the lost investment. He won. They were Not on the beach that night in Nice when the murderer ran all the people over.
Go to Europe? For vacation?
Not going to happen.
Yellowstone and Monument valley sure sound good.

We travel to western Europe each year, most recently in March. My wife speaks fluent French, Spanish and Italian and loves to practice with natives. Not so sure about going next year, though. We’ll see.

In part, I did 2 weeks in Alaska this year instead of Northern Italy, due to the “migrant situation” and terrorism.

No, I’m not afraid to go, I’ve been to worse(many, many trips to Honduras and parts of Asia), it’s simply a hassle I don’t need.

BTW, it’s always interesting to note which articles the Times doesn’t allow comments on.
