World Madness affecting Tourism

By Darren Cronian on Tuesday, September 19th, 2006

This year we’ve seen the Turkey bombings, continuation of the war in Iraq, confliction in Lebanon and Israel, today, we have and a military coup in of Asia’s most popular tourist destinations of Thailand, with 750,000 British tourists visiting each year.

I wouldn’t want to be visiting Bangkok right now, but what are we supposed to do – stop travelling to every country in case some natural disaster, war or confliction starts whilst you are there – is it just me or has the world gone nuts?

If you have plans to visit Bangkok in the next week, I would strongly suggest that you visit the Foreign & Commonwealth Office website for up-to-date advice on travelling to Thailand.

Visit Tasmania, apart from being one of the most beautiful places on earth, it’s one of the safest.
