Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 12 page paper that addresses two issues: tourism since the attacks on America and how Americans are treated abroad. The paper focuses on four cities, Hong Kong, Dublin, Paris and Rome. Using several sources, the writer reports the data regarding the dramatic decrease of American tourists in these cities following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. The data include loss of revenue, percentage decline, and loss of jobs, as available. The writer then discuses how Americans are treated in those cities since the attack. There really is little or no difference, which brings in a discussion of historical perceptions of Americans. The essay discusses the state of the tourism and travel prior to the attacks and the many mitigating factors before and since that have affected tourism. Bibliography lists 12 sources.
