“…Moreover, the assumption that Mostar has gone full circle from being international heritage site to war zone, must be questioned. Does not city's historic heritage-termed "dissonant heritage" by some 23 -now convey a different message? Is the simplistic message conveyed UNESCO's decision-that things have gone back to the way they were-adequate?…”

This paper focuses on the historic core of Mostar in general, and the Old Bridge in particular, and attempts to trace this city's unique experience to rebuild and revitalize itself after a particularly destructive series of armed conflicts. Just as its preservation before the war was exemplary, Mostar's destruction during the painful dissolution of the Yugoslav Federation proved to be an example of human destruction at its worst. The city's devastation became a symbol of backwardness and ethnic strife in the Balkans. The destruction of the Old Bridge, in turn, came to be regarded as an attack on a multi-cultural Bosnia in general, and Mostar in particular with its Ottoman, Mediterranean and western-European architectural features. Mostar's postwar situation, particularly as it pertains to the city's architectural heritage, is considerably more complex than what many interpretations would have us believe. It seems that Mostar's (and by extension, Bosnia's) multiculturalism can be better understood if one accepts that some antagonism is necessarily present in any multicultural society. Indeed, greater insight into cities such as Mostar would be gained if they are taken not as sites of "positive tolerance" but those of "competitive sharing and antagonistic tolerance." Methodologically, the study takes a panoptic view of numerous local and international institutions' efforts, and evaluates them based on the expectations and exigencies of local residents. The article's conclusions are articulated at several different, but interrelated levels: implications regarding the local populace, implications for cities that may have issues similar to that of Mostar, and lastly, implications for disciplines which focus on issues of urban regeneration, housing renovation, and the revitalization of old neighborhoods.

“…When entering global tourism markets, many post-communist countries perceive that the only way to be successful is to free themselves of their/our communist past (Czepczyński, 2016;Smith & Puczkó, 2010). This process of removing references and memories of the communist past is understandable, and somewhat expected in countries with traumatic events and wishing to reinvent their identities (Ashworth & Tunbridge, 1999;Evans, 2002;Lowenthal, 2009). Such approaches are rooted in post-communist understandings of the political development in central-eastern European countries with their "more or less unified sets of characteristics that puts all post-communist countries on the path of 'western' capitalist democracy" (deTar, 2015, p. 136).…”

Tourists’ attitudes, especially when searching with a cultural tendency, can influence the tourism experience in cultural heritage tourism. Based on the cultural contact theory and tourist involvement theory, we try to reveal the tie or the relationship between local culture and tourism. Here, we define cultural tendency as the extent to which tourists positively intend to learn about the culture of the destination. Then, we examined the roles of cultural tendency, involvement, tourist experience, and satisfaction in heritage tourism and proposed a tendency–involvement–experience (TIE) model. Using a questionnaire with tourists in Mogao Caves, a world heritage site, we found that cultural tendency through involvement enhanced tourism experience and satisfaction. Moreover, the tendency of different cultures had various effects on tourists’ experiences. Prior knowledge did not play a moderating role on the relationship among cultural tendency and involvement. The findings underscore the importance of cultural tendency in creating experiences, and heritage tourism must address tourists’ preferences for a better experience.
