Northern Ireland: Tourism Officials Call Australia’s Travel Alert an Overreaction

By Larry Habegger | Permalink | No Comments | September 1st, 2010 | Trackback

Australia warned its citizens to be cautious about travel to Northern Ireland because of a series of bombings over the last month and rising sectarian strife. The warning addressed the possibility of being caught in violence directed at others or in demonstrations that become violent. The U.S. State Department’s notice on Northern Ireland also advises travelers to remain alert to their surroundings and to be aware of possible violence during parades, but Northern Ireland Tourism officials stated that such advisories are overreactions and the vast majority of travelers to the province find it to be safe and secure. The political situation has improved dramatically in Northern Ireland in the last few years as the era of the Troubles has passed.
