There's a strong recency component.
Indeed, following 9/11:
* Delta, Northwest, United, and US Airways filed for bankruptcy
* New York City lost $320m in tourism revenue
* New York City jobs were cut by 450,000 and wages by $2.8b over three months
* Even unrelated tourism was affected.. I lived near Orlando, FL, and the entertainment parks were near ghost towns for weeks.
Assuming Europe stops the regular cadence of large Islamist terror attacks, this fades from memory and in a decade everything is back to normal in the public mind.
