World Travel Market 2017 Industry Report
7. Terrorism
Worries over terrorism are on the increase among British holidaymakers, with one-third more travellers now concerned about an attack than they were a year ago.
Last year, slightly more than a third of respondents who took part in the WTM London 2016 Industry Report survey said they were concerned about the threat of a terror attack while on holiday. This year, the gure has increased to more than half of respondents.
The WTM London 2017 Industry Report reveals 52% of British holidaymakers who had a holiday this year are concerned about terrorism, with 14% of those saying they are extremely concerned.
Last year’s data revealed 38% had concerns over terror attacks, with 9% admitting to being ‘extremely concerned’.
The number of stoical Brits who say they are ‘not concerned at all’ has dropped from about 40% last year to 27% in 2017. For the latest research, a further 21% said they were ‘not very concerned’.
Year-on-year, the number of British holidaymakers now concerned to some degree about terror attacks has jumped 37%, while the number
who admit to being extremely concerned has increased by 55%.
