Tourism and Peace - towards reconciliation after Balkan region conflicts, The 8th Kinneret International Tourism Conference 2016 http://ezaposleni.singidunum.ac.rs/rest/sciNaucniRezultati/oai/record/1/3906 J. Popesku Ex-Yugoslavia was in 1980’s ranked among top 25 tourist destinations in the world. The progress stopped with the disintegration of Yugoslavia that started in 1991/1992. The subsequent short and longer lasting military confrontations minimized and/or hindered international arrivals. Conflicts led to the regional disturbances in the tourism development, the destruction of tourism facilities and infrastructure and long-term interruption of tourist flows between the countries of former Yugoslavia. The situation has begun to change since 2000, through gradual but relatively constant and stable increase in tourist traffic between the countries in the region. Progress is certainly there, but the questions remain: to which extent tourism can contribute to the better understanding and reconciliation between formerly opposing sides; are there all possibilities in place for joint activities in order to achieve economic and social effects as an essential part of the road to creating a sustainable future for tourism in the whole region? conferenceObject The 8th Kinneret International Tourism Conference
