Sam,
>>You would not believe the amount of tourism just after the tsunamies. A lot of western people did celebrate their holiday just after the tsunami, even if disaster struck only a few miles away.

>Hey what can I say. Us Westerners got to have our booz and women. :)

>Really, I don't know what to think about it. Perhaps morally it was wrong. But what ya gonna do?
>It sounds like they (the tourist businesses) needed the tourist's money and there were few who couldn't resist the bargin.

>Well, of course westerners booked their holidays before the tsunami struck. Whether to go or not to go, it has two sides. Indeed they bring in money that region needed so hard.


But I don't know about the dead decomposing bodies on the beach... I doubt it....

>Those areas where this was the case where closed for tourism I'd guess.
