Has anything been posted yet about all the tourists from other countries? Any more definite figures? I would think it may be a high count due to it being Christmas holiday time. Lots of people were looking to get away from the cold for a few days. I read yesterday that a travel agency in England was inquiring about the fate of 800 clients.
Here's some links

It seems from surfing the net that tourist fatalities have been fairly low in the scheme of things but it'll take a while to know for sure. The problem is that locals will know who is missing from their families, and fairly quickly people on organised holidays will be accounted for. The real difficulty is all those backpackers and independent travellers whose families will know they are in the area but have no idea exactly where, sadly for some we will never know the exact toll.
