What is Dark Tourism?
Dark tourism is a niche tourism segment that explores a thought-provoking journey into tragedy, conflict, or disaster, shedding light on the complexities of human history and its impact on societies. Dark tourism is known for its historical, cultural, and sometimes macabre aspects, allowing individuals to engage with the past, confront uncomfortable truths, and gain a deeper understanding of the resilience and strength of individuals and communities in the face of adversity.
While some consider Dark Tourism a taboo tourism niche, it serves as a reminder of the importance of remembrance, learning from the past, and striving toward a more peaceful and compassionate future.
