I got back from Turkey on tuesday. I was there in Antalya for when the bomb that went off. Lucky enough I was in a hotel 15 minutes away, but two days before I was in the main part of Antalya where it happened. Not good news. I hope the tourism doesn't decrease.

Exactly! The more we should not give in to such nonsense. I hope there are more people feeling what we feel.

I hope there are many people who will still return to Turkey, but I think Deli_kizin says it all in her post below. However, people have short memories - tourism was affected badly in London and New York after bombings, but tourists have returned. It may be a bad year for tourism in Turkey next year, but I am sure people will not be able to keep away for long

Quoting Deli_kizin:

The tourism that is good for Turkish economy is the 'all-inclusive'-tourism. Unfortunately, it is this kind of tourism that doesn't connect with the country: they swim the hotelpool and the hotelbeach, have dinner at the hotel restaurants and get drunk with the hotelcocktails. They don't get in touch with the country itself, thus they don't create a bound, that you have when you meet the culture of a country. So, as soon as they hear bad news about country.. they haven't got anything they can go back to: we have the music we love, the food we adore, the warmness of the people we like, the friends we made while traveling. They have their hotel, beach and pool. But you can get these in other holiday-countries too. So they stop going and touristm-numbers go down.
