Tour and cruise operators report a noticeable shift in booking activity away from Europe in the wake of recent terrorist attacks.

Notable quote:

"Perhaps American travelers need to understand what their risks really are. According to CNN, the chance of being killed by terrorism is less than dying in a car accident (1 in 19,000); drowning in a bathtub (1 in 800,000); dying in a building fire (1 in 99,000); or being struck by lightning (1 in 5,500,000). In the last five years, you were four times more likely to be struck by lightning than killed by a terrorist."
