"Very,very good point. Nobody will want to travel there."

Correct, and tourism was already in steep decline there before this coup attempt. It's only going to get worse and of course the country's economic outlook will be severely hit.

"Turkey tourism: an industry in crisis 17 June 2016


The main decline is the Russian market, the four-and-a-half million Russian tourists who were coming have fallen in number by around 95%. The trigger was Turkey shooting down a Russian military jet which violated Turkish airspace last November, sparking a diplomatic crisis between the two countries."

The latest attack, a suicide bombing in central Istanbul on 19 March, killed five and took place just six days after a bombing in Ankara that killed 37 people."
