    Introduction

    for many countries.

    But in areas plagued by war,


    developing a tourist industry can
    seem a far-off dream.

    Why visit war-torn countries?


    • When conflict ends or abates tourists
    are keen to visit unusual places
    • Many of these places contain a wide
    variety of attractions
    • Some people want to contribute to
    post-conflict re-building
    • Visiting the country is seen as a way of
    making a contribution

    Destinations or countries?
    • Tourism development can be the
    target of a specific country or
    destination within that country
    • Visiting the country may make it a
    destination in itself
    • War affected countries may have
    potential for tourism in some areas
    and not in others
