The travel and hospitality industry was perhaps one of the hardest hit after the September 11th attacks. Suffering loss of revenue with cancellations and lowered occupancy, the lodging Industry grossed $16.1 billion in pretax profits following September 11th - 33 percent less than in 2000, according to a Smith Travel research study,
They assume that lower occupancy is due to fears of attacks on hotels??

This has to be the stupidest article I've read in ages.
