  Tourism and Hospitality in Conflict-ridden Destinations provides insight into the various types of current and post-conflict destinations worldwide and the steps that might be taken to transform them into future tourist destinations.

  Through both a conceptual and demonstrative approach, this book examines the steps Destination Management Organizations as well as destination marketers need to take in order to improve their image in the eye of potential tourists. It also questions the extent to which tourism can alter the image of a destination and the possible destination marketing strategies that can be undertaken.

  Analysis of a wide selection of international case studies in countries ranging from Palestine to Myanmar to Northern Ireland provides a thorough and far-reaching academic study. Written by an international and multidisciplinary team of leading academics this book will be of great interest to students, researchers and academics in the Tourism as well as Development Studies disciplines.
