Posted 20 December 2017:

Shares of GfK survey respondents who said various countries are safe:

Germany 77%
Scandinavia 53%
Italy 52%
Spain 49%
Canada 47%
Australia 44%
UK 33%
USA 23%
Turkey, Egypt, Tunisia 5%

But better-educated Germans said they consider the UK and USA to be safe.

Past experience has shown that destinations tend to recover quickly from traveler attitude setbacks caused by incidents of crime or terrorism. So in the German market, barring major new incidents, all isn't yet lost, except maybe for Turkey, Egypt and Tunisia.
