Dark Tourism, Tourism research.

Tourist interest in death, disaster and atrocity is a growing phenomenon in the late 20th century, and this has been labelled 'dark Tourism'. Visits to battlefields, the graves of the famous and infamous is a significant part of tourist experiences in many societies, and this brings in to question the nature of such attractions and the commodification of the tourism experience. This presentation examines media representations of events and the ways in which that representation led to the site becoming a destination of dark Tourism.
