No change in pattern for travel to Europe

Despite the security fears in Europe since the past week, following the terrorist attacks in Paris, Bahrain-based travellers are not refraining from travelling to Europe, travel agents have said. Cancellation of travel plans to Europe, particularly France, although reported, has been rare.

European countries are on high alert after the terror attacks last Friday. After leaving the US, two Air France planes, whose original destination was Paris, had to be diverted because of bomb threats. Friendly football match between Germany and the Netherlands was cancelled on Tuesday because of terror threat at the Hannover stadium. Another match in which Belgium was to play Spain was also called off due to heightened terror threat.
