“…Extant research has revealed that the entrepreneurial climate shifts across the conflict spectrum (Favre, 2017;Castillo-Palacio et al, 2017;Patrick, 2019). Depending on the evolution of tourism in the pre-conflict years, the private sector is often the dominant driver of key attractions and accommodation provision for a range of markets.…”

“…Research has revealed that early in the post-conflict era, new product development gets developed often by the private sector. It taps into a latent demand that seeks out the destination curious of the past or sharing in the wider reconciliation of the struggle communities have endured (Esteban & Bonilla, 2017;Patrick, 2019;Van Broeck, 2019). Vega Osorio (2017) viewed tourism as the best investment vehicle to get conflict parties integrated back into society.…”

“…Public sector investment focuses on the recovery and development of infrastructure that survived the conflict era, and not investment connected to the past conflict (Boyd, 2019). As regions move toward a hybrid development state, the focus has been on investment that resembles new opportunities and new products and services that are not dark or political (Arnaud, 2016;Patrick, 2019). Under a normalised development state, private sector investment is more focused on developing new accommodation stock and entertainmentbased attractions.…”

“…Others hold the view that destinations are presented to tourists. They visit a place (front stage) and rarely get to know a place (backstage) and so passive encounters help to reinforce negative stereotypical prejudices (Isaac et al, 2019;Patrick, 2019). Khalilzadeh (2018) suggested that it is unlikely for tourists to visit a destination toward they hold negative attitudes.…”

Scholarly debate around phoenix tourism offers destination managers scope to chart out the nature of early recovery for those regions that have endured protracted conflict. This provides an opportunity to be able to transition destinations to a more developed and normalised state where tourism is viewed as both a catharsis for communities to heal and a wider tool for economic development. The authors propose in this article a visitor management framework (POCTOS) that focuses on the potential opportunity that exists in post-conflict regions and how that can change and mature over time. Recovery can be deliberately linked to re-packaging the past conflict as tourism experience or not. POCTOS is shaped by concepts such as the life-cycle model, tourism as a form of destination development, destination resilience, and destination capacity toward change. The framework presents "opportunity factors" that are tourist-centric as well as management centric. POCTOS is conceptual and has not been applied in this article to any particular case study. The authors, however, encourage that it be operationalized by researchers to determine its utility as a destination development managerial tool for post-conflict destinations.
