Friday
night the western world watched in horror as one of the world's greatest cities
was turned from the city of light to one of chaos and death. This was not just
an attack against the French, but an attack on all the free people of the world
and the aftermath of this tragedy will have global consequences.
Tourism
is obviously affected by terrorist attacks, travelers become wary when they are
unsure of the security of the area they are traveling to. What you may not have
seen after the events that unfolded Friday night, is the wonderful response
from the Parisian community. The community came out en masse to not only show
their support for their fallen loved ones, but to tell the world that they were
not afraid. We as a global community must show our solidarity with our French
allies and continue to live and travel unaffected by these monstrous attacks.
Secure
Travel
It is
important to note that whether it is a terrorist attack, a natural catastrophe
or even an illness, travel insurance is a sound investment for anyone traveling
local or abroad. Terrorist attacks cause heightened awareness and tighter
security. Despite Fridays events, Paris is still a safe place to visit. The
people are as always warm and welcoming and the city a wonderful adventure to
experience. It is important for our people as a whole that we do not let fear
dictate how we choose to live our lives. We are a free people and will remain
so only by living our lives as we have prior to these atrocities.
The
Beauty Found In A Tragedy
Finding
Beauty in Tragedy may seem to be a strange thought, but I can assure you it is
there. Beyond the blood spilled, beyond the tears and fear, There were
beautiful people doing beautiful deeds. Strangers opened their doors to those
who needed shelter, people ignored their own safety to assist the injured or
comfort the dying, and even the President of France stepped out to be among his
people. The world over created different works of art to express a wide variety
of emotions and thoughts about what France was facing. Famous landmarks lit up
in red, white and blue to show support for France. It might seem odd to say this,
but visiting Paris at this time maybe one of the most inspiring experiences you
may ever have. There is nothing more powerful than a community rallied
together.
As with the world our
thoughts and hearts remain with Paris, with all of France, and to all those who
were affected by this Friday's events. Thank you and as always Happy Travels.
