This was reported on Reuters: Australia's Qantas Airways said on Monday that about 600 people had changed plans to travel to Bali after bombings on the resort island killed 26 and wounded 122 people. So at the very least these 600 people don't think like I do.

But I do take your points. It's a matter of degree; I certainly don't expect a fire sale, just some pressure taken off prices in the peak season.

I really like your point about being careful where you spend your money (although $1000 spent in a luxury resort must surely have trickle down benefits for a lot of people?). If horrors like this make us more "responsible" travellers, i.e. a little more aware of the needs of the people in the countries we visit and our impact on them, that is a small blessing.
