Will go to Sri Lanka (...and look at monkey antics like this perhaps ) -- but not to Egypt.

In a Yes Vote on tourism in Sri Lanka, a British Guardian Travel writer says 'When I go on holiday I want to relax, not be a foot soldier in the War on Terror. I feel desperately sorry for the Egyptians, who rely on tourists to provide them with an income.

But I cannot in all conscience urge holidaymakers to continue to visit resorts where there seems to be a reasonable chance of being caught up in a terror attack'.

He continues: I would not have the same doubts about visiting Sri Lanka, though trouble is brewing there. A suicide bomber attacked an army base in the capital, Colombo, and there have been airstrikes in the northeast against the Tamil Tigers. Two British tourists were injured when they were caught up in an attack in the Trincomalee area.

But although this region, which few tourists visit, has been sealed off by the army, life continues as normal in the beautiful beach resorts of the south and west.

These have not been attacked, and God forbid that they are, because they were badly hit by the tsunami and people there are desperate for tourist money.
