Introduction
Recently i have been on holiday [vacation to Americans] to Spain, just a few miles down the road from where the ETA Terrorist Attacks happened. During hours round the pool, i thought about how ETA or other terror groups could target civilians and tourists, this thesis covers this idea i came up with. I am not a terrorist, i am infact only sixteen, nor would i ever try to do this. i really just wanted somewhere to post this, to see what others thought.
Thesis
Hotels are a common in every country of the world, hosting mass amounts of people, tourists. All Inclusive Hotels, the type where you get all your food and drink free from the hotel are common in Europe, especially Spain, these hotels cause guests to stay inside the hotel mostly around the pool as all your needs are catered for and mostly - you don't have to spend any extra money most days. So due to this, most all inclusive hotels during say 10am-3pm will have up to 200 people lounging around the pool, however terrorists have never taken up this opportunity to cause widespread damage to multiple country citizens as well as get into the public eye. A Terrorist attack on a hotel, such as what i thought could happen in my own hotel, would be devestating;
Just think of two bombs placed around the poolside, these bombs would not even have to be that "big" to cause huge amounts of damage, casualties, deaths and widespread terror - nor would it be obvious. People leave bags around the pool containing sunblock etc, so this wouldn't be seen as anomaly or a possible bomb. So lets say these two bombs around the pool go off, causing deaths and terror. ALL Hotels, have fire escape plans usually ending in the evacuation of the building to a pre-planned location such as the hotels carpark or the road in front of the hotel. Now imagine if these terrorists placed another bomb, a bigger one, outside in the road where these tourists would be vacated too. It wouldn't be that hard - one read of the fire escape plan for the hotel posted all around the hotel would allow you to find the location of where this larger bomb would need to be. So say if you placed this larger car bomb, for instance, in the carpark where all the people have been evacuated too, you would cause even more casualties and death.
The security in most hotels is lax or non-existant, the ability to perform one of these attacks, given you had the materials would be simple, while achieving maximum destruction, deaths, casualties and media speculation.

Sorry if it's in the wrong place, didn't really know where to post it.
