Historic Syrian Cities in the Post-War Period: Balancing Cul-tural Preservation and Tourism Investment

The study highlights that restoring UNESCO World Heritage sites like the Ancient City of Bosra requires collaboration among government officials, preservationists, developers, and local communities to ensure authenticity while fostering sustainable development. Research involved literature reviews and stakeholder interviews, revealing that effective restoration hinges on integrating heritage conservation with strategic tourism investment to revive damaged cities without compromising their historical integrity.
