- What: Terrorism is the problem
- When: After the attack on London
- Where: Italy
- Why: A large influx of people so it is easy for organized crimes to occur
- How: Italy has tightened its security around areas where a large number of people are present. Such places include Rome, Florence and Italy
- Stakeholders: Tourists, Government, Terrorists, and Locals
- I believe that this is a world issue, not just Italy. Terrorism does discourage tourism but if we do not go to where we want to go, the terrorists will get what they want. They want us to be terrified of them and if we cancel our plans to go somewhere, they will achieve their goal. In order to fight this issue, we must act together and do what we want and not be scared of terrorists.
