This research aims to analyze practices of commercial banks, i.e., stringent processes for credit assessment; diversification strategies and customized financial solutions so as to provide conceptual framework on effective risk management and relationships of interventions in a post-conflict tourism sector [3]. The results will also assist banks to address credit risk and promote the sustainability and expansion of tourism SMEs in general, as well as under changing macro-economic changes (dynamic-chaotic) circumstances.
