The terror attack that left 38 people dead in Sousse is considered not only a blow to Tunisia’s tourism industry, but also to countries in the region with tourism-driven economies such as Morocco.

According to daily newspaper Al Sabah, Moroccan authorities have raised the terror alert level after gunmen in Tunisia killed and injured tens of people, mostly tourists, who were visiting the Bardo Museum, a popular attraction among tourists for its collections of archeological artifacts and Roman mosaics.

Of course this is the ultimate aim of terror attacks in Tunisia, to destroy tourism which will throw hundreds if not thousands into unemployment.. thereby fuelling unrest and fuelling further attacks..
The Tunisia ambassador said this on Newsnight..
"One of the sources of terrorism is lack of hope. It is not the only motor of it but it is one of the very important origins or causes of it"http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-33473965
Thousands of British holidaymakers are to be flown home from Tunisia following warnings that another terrorist attack in the country is "highly likely".

Clearly there is an increased risk in travel to all Muslim countries, .. but the risk level has also been raised in the UK , the current threat from international terrorism is assessed as severe..

Has anyone changed their minds, or cancelled their plans to visit Morocco. ?
