Jaws

In El-Arish, Egypt there was a German tourist who was attacked by a shark at an Egyptian Red Sea Resort. The shark tour off the tourist's arm and almost killed her instantly! Apparently this attack had not been the first incident. After this attack, there were another four attacks to four other tourists. The woman was swimming in the water when the event happened. There was also another attack when an elderly woman's hand was ripped off and another woman's leg was torn off. Eventually the resort and beaches were closed down. This could be detrimental to tourism in Egypt because 66% of Egypt's total income comes from tourism. By the end of 2011 Egypt is expected to earn &12.3 million by tourism itself. After reading this article I don't know if I have to go to the Red Sea Resort, what about you?
