Still in shock !

We are due to fly to Tunisia in two weeks it will be our 4th trip there in the last two years.

Today 2500 odd are traveling home and trips with Thomson & first choice are cancelled for the coming week.

We are planning to go as planned .........

Would you ?

first thing i would do is check https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/tunisia

on reading that i would be checking with my travel company for cancellation policies/insrance policies or asking for a different destination

far too blase just to assume you are going normally at this stage

of course what the terrorists want is to irrevocably damage the tourist industry and de-westernise their resorts, but thats not your concern

as of now, do not go.

I think it will be very safe, security will be incredibly tight for the foreseeable future.

The locals should be very pleased to see you.

Cancelling will be "letting them win"

In short I would probably still go, but I wouldn't be happy if a loved one was going.

Just to be completely transparent I'm not looking for advice whether or not I should go  that's between me & my family I'm simply asking whether you would or not ?

No I doubt i would go, security can be tight yes, but this is not airline access security, anyone can enter a beach, shopping area etc, just  like anywhere in the world i guess but sometimes behaviour breeds behaviour. I call it minimizing risk. Saying that it can happen anywhere anytime.

I'd go myself, but would be in big trouble if I had to try and run from terrorists.

Wouldn't go if I had kids, or with kids etc.

Arguably even slightly (in micromorts terms) less risky, I'd say.

I'd go

Yeah, but as we now know, it was very risky last week.
