Bosnia and Herzegovina: Old Bridge area of Mostar
Score: 59

"Huge symbolic significance for the town, region and country—needs to be leveraged to improve livelihoods around the region."

"In the reconstruction, original stones were recovered from the river and reused by the architect in the correct positions. The surrounding areas, however, are still a disaster."

"Most handicrafts are Turkish imports; there is only one inbound tour operator; the tensions between Croat and Bosian sectors persist; and well-developed tour circuits through Herzegovina are not yet online."

"Tourism can be and is a big benefit to this area, helping to generate the necessary resources to restore, sustain, and literally bridge the fractured communities of Mostar …"

"In spite of wounds caused by recent war Mostar is full of energy and life, and I simply love it. Its people are much more similar than they think. Tourism here is definitely a cure, not a threat."
