I wonder if Turkeys tourist season will be hit, maybe thats why they are accepting 20 billion dollars in loans and cash off the Americans.

Go to cyrpus, its people like you that put people in the tourist industry out of jobs.

Area such as Saudi Arabia, and its surrounding area are restristed areas at present due to the threat of war.

Turkey is also out of bounds too I believe due to it being an Arabic country.

Then, stating the obvious, Iraq, and the ajoining countries are also restricted unless your trip is essential.

I'm not sure about Cyprus, but I wouldn't travel there, personally, as it is so near Iraq.

I reckon you'll get your money back, afterall its not your fault that a war may break out. My folks were due to go to Saudi (my brother is working there) and they ensured to only pay their deposit and nothing before because of threat of war. This deposit they will get back.... i think!!

Hope that helps!!

Well i was down at my travel agents yesterday and i was asking the girl working there about going abroad and if any possible war would affect where i was going to (the canaries) and she said that no place that they sold holidays to would be affected, but she said that all their turkish holidays had been cancelled because of the threat of war.

With Regards,

Well I am off to Argentina on the 25th of this month and there is no way on earth I am cancelling.

What I am rather worried about is the new strain of deadly pneumonia spreading (all over the news today). Has apparently already gone from Asia to Canada.

In case of war, I personally feel safer in South American than Europe.
