I get the concerns, I totally do. And if you personally don't think you'd feel safe, don't go. But it is kind of like Europeans complaining they will never visit the US because of the gun violence there. Yes, there are serious incidents, but should we not visit NYC because of that? It's your choice in the end of course.Huge difference between where I live and where I choose to vacation. I live where I live for work reasons, its kinda manditory. I get paid to live where I live. (Plus I live in a super safe suburb near NYC) Vacations on the other hand is completely my choice, I'm paying up the wazoo for international travels.
Also issue isn't about how safe the entire country is. There's a lot of dangerous parts in the U.S and I try to avoid those areas too. I vacation in super safe places in the US too. (Canada is my favorite close area though)
Its also the fact that these attacks are happening in place where you should feel safe. Large touristsy areas where you shouldn't have to worry about this stuff. Whats even more scary for me is that 5 of the places I went to on my honeymoon in Europe has had a terror attack in the past year. Those are pretty crazy numbers.
Damn, that's terrible. Hopefully the police can get them out safely.there are hostages, they are in a turkey bar with hostages
