with the recent bombings in almost throughout the world specially easy targets like hotels, malls etc how can it be expected that tourism will grow which added fuel in the fire of recession. tourist will find it very hard to trust and will never risk their security by visiting such places. can we still be positive about growth. Do you find this valuable?

I think for travellers they need to try not to let these kinds of horrible incidents determine their actions. It is the cliché that if you do, they win. Obviously travel warnings need to be carefully heeded and individuals need to make their decisions, but I think the best legacy to leave is for places that have been affected by this kind of senseless violence is to bounce back and be more vibrant, and more successful, and bring in more tourists. However, when push comes to shove, this is all up to the travellers. Do you find this valuable?
