“…The tourism industry could play an integral role in the world's quest for peace (Minho 2007;Robinson 1998). Causevic and Lynch (2013), claimed that tourism can act as an agent for peace in post-conflict social reconciliation.…”

“…The main research streams have emanated from the late 1990s that addressed postwar tourism situations in relation to post-conflict tourism markets, new tourism trends and their characteristics (Causevic and Lynch 2013). This tourism wave had been used as a development promoter which affects local community with prosperous social and built environmental aspects.…”

Tourism development has been perceived as a promoter of city development and can also affect the post-war city reconstruction. This paper investigates the strategy for reconstruction of war-damaged buildings in Khorram-Shahr a war-torn city in Iran in order to change and use them as a post-war tourism attraction. The objective of this paper is to critically review approaches in the reconstruction of buildings to assess the existing potentials of post-war tourism. The results of this paper were based on the sequential mixed method (qualitative and quantitative) to explore approaches in the reconstruction of buildings as the core elements of urban tourism.The findings of the study revealed the most relevant reconstruction strategy for post-war tourism to be considered by urban policy makers, urban designers and architects.

“…Moreover, as Causevic and Lynch (2013) showed, the assumption that the presence of tourists in contested regions somehow creates trickle-down economic effects, deeper understanding or respect for the other, is flawed. They argue that that the increase in visitor numbers to Bosnia-Herzegovina had limited effects on social relations because the nature of peace itself was incomplete and there is little evidence that the tourist economy created new durable contacts.…”

Abstract:The fascination with death and disaster has encouraged the development of distinctive tourism markets, the rediscovery of sites and places of past conflict and all accompanied with uneasy narratives about what they mean and how they should be consumed. The increasingly stratified tourist economy and the interplay between demand and supply has also stimulated a complex set of ontological, socio-political and indifferent responses as places and interests compete to project often selective or stylised claims for recognition. This paper reviews the experiences of tourists visiting Derry/Londonderry, the UK's first City of Culture and how they make sense of the competing interpretations of the past in museums, rituals and artefacts. The 17thC walled city, the city of violence and the post-conflict renaissance city are spatially and socially reproduced but rarely connect with each other to help make sense of the past for the present and critically, for the future. The paper concludes that the discursive content promised by the City of Culture was a missed opportunity to debate these places and events and critically, the problematized and reified narratives they each project.

“…Tourism and politics is an over-researched topic with a large number of specialist-authored case studies from around the world that emphasize the linking of theory to practice (Causevic & Lynch, 2013). The research on the topic has dealt with many different subject areas, including (among others) the tourism business and the travel trade, public policy and tourism, and different aspects of supply and demand (Cavlek, 2002).…”

This article investigates the symptoms of tourism development in Macedonia by applying the Tourism Area Life Cycle (TALC) model. The study explores the political context and the government's role in policy-making and implementation at each TALC stage. It also attempts to assess key arenas of governmental influence on tourism, such as privatization, legislation, tourism promotion, and fiscal policy. To this end, we conducted an analysis of secondary data sources with the aim of assessing the current stage of tourism development. Our analysis indicates that tourism in Macedonia is presently in the development stage but that future decline is still possible. Our general findings indicate an insufficiently developed tourist supply, underlining the importance of taking action as a prerequisite for a well-established tourism planning process. Finally, the study reviews and offers a better understanding of the manner in which Macedonia's tourism policies are changing in a complex region, with the aim of blending top-down decision-making with elements of grass roots involvement in a bid to create a solution to the country's search for a new future.
