The inevitable result of deadly attacks on ordinary citizens by terrorists in Europe is being felt in the cancellations of overseas vacation travels. The Peel District School Board has cancelled all trips by its students to Europe out fear for the safety of the kids. Money has been refunded to students for trips they had signed up to take. Four high schools in the board were planning trips to Europe but board spokesperson Carla Pereira says that administrators decided this week to cancel three of the trips. In York Region and at the Toronto and District School board plans remain in place — for now. But in York Region further scheduled meetings may result in cancellations. The TDSB said: “As always, we will continue to monitor the situation and rely on travel advisories issued by the Government of Canada for any developments.” It is a moment of truth for European governments and the travel industry. The unreported story of cancelled vacations in Canada and the United State will reveal the loss of millions of dollars of business at all levels.
