The purpose of this research paper is to examine how Russia's invasion of Ukraine has affected the travel and tourism sectors and how Ukraine can benefit from the POCTOS (post-conflict tourism opportunity spectrum) framework after it is applied to the tourism recovery. The invasion, which started on February 24th, 2022, left the country with significant losses, emotional distress, and economic uncertainty. One of the country's sources of revenue, the tourist industry, has been negatively affected. The study aims to respond to two key research questions: whether tourism recovery can serve as a pillar for Ukraine's post-war recovery, and what conditions are necessary for the tourist industry to revive after being exposed to the Russian invasion. The study is based on a thorough examination of the relevant literature as well as secondary information obtained through a survey that 33 stakeholders in the Ukrainian tourist sector filled out. The purpose of this study is to offer insights into how Ukraine might start to restore its tourist business after such a tragic occurrence by looking at these topics
