Would I travel to India Now, Absolutley

Last night while out for dinner a friend who read yesterdays blog about traveling to different and so called dangerous places had a question. It was prompted by the horrific terror attacks in Mumbai. “Would you still travel to India if the opportunity arose,” he asked? I would and hope to at some point, perhaps with my eyes a little more open, but definitely. There is no doubt that India’s tourism will drop even though it runs multi page adds in magazines such as Travel & Leisure. After 9/11 it was thought that the stream of visitors to NYC would be damaged for a long time, it wasn’t and NYC has attracted more visitors than ever. Terrorism is despicable, unfortunately it cannot be contained to only certain places or times. It is now a factor needed to be dealt with everywhere. As Max is finding out while on his visit it to Iran, people have the same capacity for warmth, interest and understanding world wide. Learning that first hand may just be the most effective way to combat terrorism, at least traveling will open your own mind to differences as well as those all import traits shared by humanity.
