20,000 British Tourists In Tunisia
According to the Independent, at least 20,000 british tourists are on holiday in Tunisia. At least, because that is the package tour numbers...there may be 1000's more independent travelers there as well. I am not sure how many seats you average package holiday jet has but I am guessing about 300.
That is an awful lot of flights !

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Using your quoted numbers, 200,000 requires 67 flights – assuming most are there on a 14 night stay, that only requires five UK flights a day, which I can believe.
I recall arriving on a flight into Pisa airport a few years ago, to observe two other 737 sized UK aircraft disembarking passengers – I was surprised that so many people from the UK arrive at Pisa each day.
Of course, as happened with Bali – the Tunisian tourist industry will be hit hard; no doubt those losing their livelihood will not be ISIS supporters.

DD...sadly, not mine either. I had a wonderful week there a few years ago, in the same area that this outrage. The people were friendly, prices were very reasonable and the Roman antiquities were second only to Libya. I would lie to go back one days, although it doesn't look very likely now.
I was thinking today, that Tunisia may now be one of the safest tourist destinations, on the principle of lighting not striking twice, etc.
But I am not 100% convinced, so I will stick with Cornwall...palm trees, proper beer and proper Pasties, a language similar to English, and no ruddy airports !

Why someone wants to go on holiday to a place that shares a 989 Km border with Libya I can not understand.
There are just 2 legal crossing places but it is just desert, you can walk or drive across anywhere, nothing to stop you or to stop a band of Islamic State murderers either. How many holiday makers realize where Tunisia is or that it borders a county with no effective government, but whose ruling war lords have sworn to bring down Europe by flooding it with 500,000 Islamic migrants a year?
News just in of a huge arms cache found near the Libyan border so expect more of the same.

This is what the travel agents don not want you to see

On a trip to the supermarket yesterday I heard the lady behind the till talking about her holiday plans to a colleague:
'Well I've looked on a map and it's not near Tunisia but quite near Turkey'
Name that destination in one. Greece perhaps? Oops ...

There was an Al Qaeda attack in Tunisia several years ago which seems to have been forgotten about as well as the failed attack in Sousse 2 years ago.
Those were widely seen as an attempt to scupper the country's tourist industry although how that would square with the current protests against poverty is anyone's guess. I'm not sure I'd want to be a relative of the gunman either
