Recent terrorist attacks have claimed hundreds of lives. Twelve lives were taken in the Charlie Hebdo attacks in Paris in 2015. One hundred and thirty people were killed in November in the most recent Paris attacks, and 14 lives were claimed in San Bernardino, California. These attacks have taken a toll on the travel industry.
