“…All these tourists are faced with still dangerous, limited and disorganised tourism products (Weaver, 2000;see also Winter, 2009b). Tourism is often a potential contributor to socioeconomic development and, regeneration, as well as a vector for integration into the global economy (Novelli, Morgan & Nibigira, 2012;Weaver, 2000;Wiedenhoft Murphy, 2010). According to Weaver (2000), (especially) large-scale wars produce large-scale surpluses of what is, paradoxically, a good war dividend 1 for socioeconomic development.…”

This article explores only a variation of tourism -warfare tourismin Croatia, which is a recognised tourist destination. The main objective of this multidisciplinary research is to clarify and classify young residents (undergraduate students) of Croatia into different clusters based on their views of the potential for warfare tourism development in the country. A total of 292 completed questionnaires were recorded and prepared for empirical analyses. Ward's principal component score method, independent sample test and descriptive analysis were employed in this study. We found that two clusters of youths could be identified -believers and doubters, the latter representing the majority. The difference between clusters, in fact, is not so big: however, believers, contrary to doubters, do recognise warfare tourism opportunities for the development of war-affected areas in Croatia, opportunities that first need to be conceptualised on the strategic level (country/county/city/municipality).

“…Analizan el potencial para desarrollar esta clase de turismo, ya que en dicha nación se han sufrido las consecuencias de la guerra, violencia y tensión política desde 1948, además apuntan que en Palestina no se ha desarrollado un plan turístico que considere esta variante. Novelli et al (2012) centran su análisis al caso de Burundi, pues representa una nación que tras sus conflictos intenta usar el turismo como una herramienta para el crecimiento económico. Sin embargo, señalan que el país enfrenta problemas de planeación, administración de recursos naturales, y volatilidad en el ambiente político, además de conflictos entre etnias, aspectos que representan un desafío para que el turismo sea sustentable.…”

Los últimos años han estado marcados por una fuerte tendencia positiva en la llegada de turistas internacionales a México, lo que se ha reflejado en los listados internacionales, en los que dicha nación se ha situado entre los diez países más importantes en la recepción de turistas. Sin embargo, la recepción de excursionistas internacionales en la frontera se ha visto fuertemente reducida, tal tendencia negativa, si bien tuvo su inicio con los atentados terroristas acontecidos en la ciudad de Nueva York en septiembre de 2001, se profundizó a partir del incremento de los secuestros registrados en los estados fronterizos. Debido a lo anterior, en este trabajo se analiza la relación entre los secuestros y los excursionistas en la zona fronteriza de México, el estudio se lleva a cabo a través de un Modelo Estructural de Vectores Autorregresivos, que considera los secuestros en estados fronterizos, los excursionistas en frontera y el PIB de EE. UU. Los resultados obtenidos son congruentes con la teoría del turismo, ya que muestra que el crecimiento de los secuestros provoca contracciones en la llegada de excursionistas, mientras que el crecimiento de la economía estadounidense tiene el efecto contrario

“…According to Novelli et al (2012) reassuring tourists that a destination is safe is a major task in post conflict places although this was not argued in the context of all forms of difficult heritage at a destination. Whilst capacity and institution building and regaining the confidence of both the international and domestic markets are crucial to post conflict tourism recovery, a major challenge for such places is the "management of post-conflict emotions (Anson, 1999;de Sausmarez, 2007;Brewer and Hayes, 2011).…”

“…Whilst capacity and institution building and regaining the confidence of both the international and domestic markets are crucial to post conflict tourism recovery, a major challenge for such places is the "management of post-conflict emotions (Anson, 1999;de Sausmarez, 2007;Brewer and Hayes, 2011). Novelli et al (2012) argues that while for some, conflict sites may become a "new post conflict symbolic landscape", such heritage could continue evoking painful memories for many communities (McEvoy, 2011). Scholars argue that tourists attracted to difficult heritage like listening to stories of humans butchered and starved to death, or embark on a spiritual re-awakening to empathize with the pains of death as in Cambodia (Hughes, 2008), Rwanda (Grosspietsch, 2005), Srebrenica (Miller, 2006) and Dachau (Marcuse, 2001).…”

Many countries in Africa are currently investing in tourism with the aim of increasing annual tourist flows but majority of them are negatively symbolised at source markets as countries with 'difficult heritage'. Previous research has indicated that tourism in Africa is perceived as riskier than any comparable region on Earth except the Middle East. It further indicates that negative country images might result in negatively biased destination perceptions and could negatively impact on their competitiveness. This study discusses negative place symbolism at source markets using the social identity theory adjusted, its effect on destination branding programmes and how destinations can deal with it. It utilises a theoretical literature review and empirical synthesis of symbolism with respect to Uganda as a country with difficult heritage and the branding challenges in light of its agenda to increase its international tourism and attract direct foreign investment in the sector.
