What is the link between terrorism and tourism?

Manjari Shivahare: Terrorism and terroists strike at the most popular tourist spots across the world as they are sites where great numbers of innocent people are congregated. Attacks at places like in Jaipur in Rajasthan, the Taj and Oberoi hotels in Mumbai, the World Trade Center in Manhattan and the ongoing terrorism in Kashmir create sensational news items which titillate the TV audiences for days and create a macabre cult following for the terrorist groups. Tourism gets a boost from such acts of violence as people find a perverse pleasure in revisiting the sites of murder and mayhem and gawk at the scars and damages of violence as if gazing at some priceless work of art. An unholy nexus thus seems to emerge between terrorism and tourism.
