Deserted beaches and empty hotels: a package holiday after the terror attack in Sousse.

After the terror attack at Sousse that killed 38 tourists, many holiday-makers went elsewhere. Frances Stonor Saunders took a package deal to a nearby resort and shares her story.

The gun attack on the beach resort of Sousse that killed 38 tourists, deterred many holiday-makers from travelling to Tunisia. But not journalist, Frances Stonor Saunders. She packed her bags, no flak jacket in sight, and set off for an all-inclusive package deal to Hammamet, a nearby seaside resort. What did she find? As well as deserted beaches and eerily empty hotels, Frances has a chance meeting with a man who helped foil a previous terror attack on a popular tourist site; and she finds out why Tunisians are refusing to go to local hotels, despite desperate pleas from hotel owners.
