Summary/Abstract: The constant regional and local conflicts erupting around the world have had a direct impact on tourism, as marked social instability is a factor greatly influencing the safety, accessibility, and image of cities. The outbreak of an internal conflict directly impacts any efforts towards maintaining the sustainability of regions. The paper presents a context analysis allowing to determine the direct relationship between the condition of traditional or emerging tourist destinations and the presence of internal armed conflicts. The developed methodology can be used as a dynamic tool for the resolution of the clash between these phenomena.
