Photo: Getty ImagesBritain's tourism industry is proving resilient despite recent militant attacks and is set for higher bookings this year, outperforming the European average, a travel data analysis company says. That attack was followed by a suicide bombing at a pop concert in Manchester which killed 22, and a deadly attack on London Bridge this month. ForwardKeys said that there was no wave of cancellations of bookings to Britain following the London Bridge attack. "There has been a sustained positive trend in bookings for the UK throughout the year so ForwardKeys remains bullish on the UK's tourism performance in summer 2017."
