I would go again same as I went to Turkey after terrorist attacks, New York, Berlin etc.

I travel to London two to three days a week as well, life goes on otherwise you would end up being a recluse if you said you would never go anywhere where there has been a terrorist attack.

freak random occurrences.

Not freak as it is happening time and time again.

Not random as it was quite likely to occur again after the attacks in March, in a country with an active Islamic extremist minority and geographically next door to Libya.

But hey, let's just gloss over that huh?

A one off terrorist attach wouldn't stop me if I wanted to go somewhere. I'm not quite sure if it's the same thing but I went to NYC 3 days after 9/11.

I echo these thoughts. I would think again if there was regular civil unrest but reasonably isolated terrorist attacks generally wouldn't concern me.

I feel sorry for those that make a living out of tourism in Tunisia, Morocco, Egypt and Turkey. They will be hit badly. By a twist of fate this could be a real shot in the arm for the Greek economy.

On balance I'd rather not take the risk with my kids lives, and it is a risk. This sort of incident has been coming.

Why have you added Morocco, Egypt and Turkey?

There has not been any indication from the Home Office that any of those places are a high security risk.

The reality is that you could just as easily be a victim of terrorism in London, Paris or Munich as you could in those countries.

The media scaremongering and distorting facts means anyone could just live in fear of going outside at all.

I wouldn't go anyway. The Tunisians are deeply mysoginystic and treat women like second class citizens on one hand and on the other love to leer and cop a feel when they can. Backwards bunch of cavemen. Don't know any female that's been there and not despised the place.
