Travel agencies adjust itineraries in aftermath of Notre Dame fire

While the world watches the aftermath of the fire in Notre Dame cathedral in Paris, travel agencies moved quickly to alter the itineraries for tourists who had planned to visit the iconic building.

According to Ctrip, an online travel agency based in Shanghai, tourists who booked a Notre Dame visit were informed of the blaze and offered free cancellations.

Zou Yu, director of Ctrip's European market, said the previously set schedule for group and self-guided travelers to visit Notre Dame changed to Sacre-Coeur Basilica, another heavily visited structure in Paris.
