EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Tourism is currently the world's largest industry and it has an increasing impact on protected areas. Our understanding of these mechanisms, their ecological impacts and our capacity to manage tourism in protected areas lags behind the growth of tourism to protected areas. In many protected areas, tourism is a major activity that occurs without much forethought or preparation. To ensure that the benefits of tourism outweigh the costs, careful planning and management of tourism impacts are needed. Mass market-driven nature tourism is known to have a clear negative impact on local cultural and natural heritage. The starting point is therefore to distinguish between this kind of uncontrolled tourism and ecotourism which is by definition an ethical form of travelling, responsible and small scale. A dangerous confusion between these two types of tourism is widespread and anything nowadays tend to be labelled and sold as “ecotourism”. Due to an increasing demand for ecological accountability and travel ethics, the international tour operators and the ecotourism local initiatives have the interest in being certified by independent bodies such as international conservation NGOs or by authoritative private accreditation associations. Achieving a unified international certification system together with identifying suitable and efficient mechanisms to create a viable business while controlling it, is the challenge of any ecotourism scheme. Conservation NGOs, in cooperation with ecologically conscious visitors, have the potential to ensure that any specific ecotourism initiative remains under control socially, culturally and environmentally. The present feasibility study is intended to provide independent and objective information to the relevant stakeholders,

As this objective goes against many of the structural and economic interests in the city, the 'illogical' aspects of plans and regulations would be expected to be immediately transgressed. Surprisingly, however, municipal regulation of investments for significant new uses of property is strong, as is the provision of services to neighborhoods with little to no expected returns.

Three contributions by scholars on Syria are included in this issue, and their findings consistently point to just how charged and often hostile Syria’s relationships with its neighbours have been. In The Syrian Civil War and Turkey-Syria-Iran Relations, Özden Zeynep Oktav takes us on a fascinating journey from 2002 when the Justice and Development Party came to power, and until the present. Oktav highlights the period when Turkey sought a state of ‘zero problem with its neighbours’ and the positive implications this had on its relationship with Syria in particular. The advent of the Arab Spring, and the events that unfolded in Syria after March 2011, caused a dramatic change in Turkey’s foreign policy.

ISSN 1567-214x Keywords: Branding, Nation Rebranding, Tourism, Conflict, Syria. Abstract This paper examined the marketing strategies and directions of the Syrian Ministry of Tourism (MOT) since the start of the war in 2011, and also to identify the challenges and opportunities associated with implementing the nation branding strategy and changing its prolonged negative image related with the war, and terrorism at the tourism level. By using the case study approach, and conducting eight semi-structured interviews with officials and workers in the public-private tourism sector, a SWOT analysis was performed. The paper concluded that MOT has adopted the strategic approach in setting plans to resume the tourism sector on the strategic term, targeting the markets of friendly countries, and activating cultural, religious and domestic tourism. It was also found adopting a collective amnesia approach, as it did not refer to the products of war in its marketing programmes.
