Why not visit? Well, there has to be a reason to go. That would be commerce or tourism. This requires a safe environment for visitors. The risk of crimes like theft aren't necessarily decisive deterrents but the threat of kidnapping certainly is. Not easy to keep to a business schedule if you're kidnapped.
Reducing the terror should help commerce. I know of a business that closed permanently rather than risk sending someone to Pakistan to buy more carpets and furniture. Something about the marketplace being blown up. But I guess businesses will still be more likely to test and employ local agents rather than fly someone to Pakistan to do their buying, or turn to Bangladesh, Iran, and Indonesia for similar products.
