Marrakesh : concerned or indifferent visitors

Many people had booked or were planning to book a stay in Marrakesh.

Suddenly, due to the criminal blast, some are hesitating to come and other already cancelled.

Who is coming to Marrakesh ? entire families who would take advantage of special packages, individuals who found a low cost tickets and others. The purpose vary, but a lot of them come to have fun, some decently, other less.

Today, in the process to take a decision, it is important not to panic and succumb to the media display.

We should not forget that Paris, London and other cities are still possible targets of extremist. // On the other hand, in France, for example, they also are quite often accidental gas blast ; or you have a high rate of accidents of the road ; or a jogger or a subway passenger attacked. The point I wish to make, is that the situation in western countries is not necessarily safer than Marrakesh.

Today, Marrakesh safety is not less than before ; and it is not a war-like situation. On the contrary, security deployment is tighter. People should know that there is no country in the world were the security put in place can be 100%. Will the potential visitor treat Marrakesh as a simple product and drop it ? Or will he be concerned and come ? Of course, following the measures recommended.

The reflexion of a potential visitor should be: am I taking a risk in going there ? Do I want to show solidarity and come ? Or will I be indifferent, dropping it like a simple product ?
