ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book discusses Jerusalem's urban development was greatly influenced by the pilgrim and tourist activities. Jerusalem's reunification following the Six-Day War had two noticeable outcomes in the field of tourism: first, Jerusalem's Old City became the State of Israel's, and Jerusalem's, second, the national symbolic centers that were first created in the western city during the partition years were reinforced, now symbols of the united city. The use of tourism as a tool in the political struggle over Jerusalem's identity and physical space did not begin after the Six-Day War with Israel's reunification of the city, rather, it was one of the city's prominent features for generations. The political conflicts in Jerusalem at the end of the Ottoman Empire were expressed not only in the physical construction of the city and the world powers struggle over its skyline.
