Design/methodology/approach: This case study is based on available descriptive data and direct observation supported by secondary sources. Findings: The results of the research help to provide a better understanding of the conditions needed to develop and manage sustainable tourism in post-conflict environments. In so doing, it should be possible to make better policy decisions, with particular reference to social and urban interventions on planning, design and entrepreneurship.
