▼ The purpose of this thesis was to analyse the Topography of Terror documentation centre as a
dark tourism destination and offer suggestions for the improvement of its currently offered services. The site is located in Berlin, Germany, and houses exhibitions about the Nazi government and the Holocaust.
Theoretical background on the relevant concepts of
dark tourism, product development and service product is provided. The analysis part is based primarily on qualitative data obtained through the author's own observations made during visits to the site in March and June 2014. The data is analysed using the method of product development.
Guided tours for individual visitors and the site's seminar programme were identified as areas containing gaps in their service offers. Suggestions were made for improving these services.
The research indicates that the currently offered set-up and services of the site correspond well with its objectives as a
dark tourism attraction. However, there is potential for the improvement of its service offers which can be explored in future.

▼ Rwanda is a low income, landlocked and heavily populated country in Sub-Sahara Africa. Regardless of its majestic landscape, rich history and culture, it is not a country that is recognized as a tourism destination. Instead, Rwanda has become known for the genocide that took place in 1994 when over one million people were killed in within a hundred day period while the rest of the world watched in silence. Since then, Rwanda has been trying to uplift its image and economy. However, unlike other African countries, Rwanda does not have mineral resources and has to focus on improving its tourism to attract more people and thereby more funds into the country. Developing tourism can play a major role in reducing the poverty level, creating employment as well as contributing to the country’s revenue. So far Rwanda has strongly relied on its famous mountain gorillas to attract tourists which can be an expensive exercise for tourists in Rwanda. By creating a more diversified number of attractions, the number of tourists to the country should increase thereby injecting much needed capital into the economy. After the 1994 genocide, Rwanda inherited several genocide sites that have been preserved by government to remind people of the massacre that took place. Even though these sites are not used for tourism gain, they are acquiring popularity as tourists to Rwanda become aware of them and the history applicable thereto. This study has been undertaken to find ways to conserve, protect and market the genocide memorial sites as tourism destinations. It is important that these heritage museums be acknowledged through the World Heritage Organisation as authentic and educational facilities for future generations to enjoy. The research project was conducted in the Kigali and Bugesera areas. A sample of three hundred and sixty (360) questionnaires was given out to participants, and a total of a hundred and fifty-seven (157) were returned, coded and analysed. Data analysis applying descriptive statistics was utilised to acquire the frequencies, which were conveyed in percentages. The study disclosed that generally tourists were impressed by the genocide memorial sites and felt that it would be of great use to protect and market them as tourism assets as they believe that many people will learn from the harsh historical event that took place in Rwanda. This investigative study could strongly benefit Rwanda in planning and deciding on an appropriate tourism marketing strategy for the genocide memorial site. The Rwandan Government, policy makers and tourism stakeholders have a lot to gain by addressing the issues that are slowing down the tourism industry. It is anticipated that when these barriers have been removed, it will add toward sustainable tourism development in Rwanda.

▼ This study explores the management of visitor sites and attractions associated with death, disaster and suffering, commonly referred to in the literature as ‘dark tourism’. Although gaining increasing academic attention, the supply-side perspective of dark tourism is poorly understood with scarce empirical evidence relating to management operations and practices. This may be due to management operations and practices that are perceived to conflict with the sensitive themes of visitor sites associated with dark tourism. Particular consideration is given to the management concept of innovation identified as a significant gap for scholarly exploration. Qualitative semi-structured interviews were carried out with senior management at 23 sites and attractions across the United Kingdom associated with dark tourism. The findings reveal that, contrary to suggestions that dark tourism sites may be restrictive in management practices, a wide array of innovative activities and marketing practices are widely conducted and innovation was viewed as a stimuli for repeat visitation. Furthermore, management operations are viewed as facilitating important stories of trauma for present and future generations. Omission of these stories would belittle the tragic circumstances in which people associated with the sites had died or suffered. Moreover, managers at dark tourism sites acknowledged the ethical and moral tensions surrounding management practices at dark tourism sites. Indeed, the majority of managers adopted both highly ethical processes resulting in ethical innovations and complex consultation processes in order to mitigate any potential concerns from stakeholders. The ethical stance underpinning operations positions the phenomenon of dark tourism as a subset within the tourism sector, distinct from its counterparts. Recommendations include calls to widen the study to explore visitor perceptions of innovative measures undertaken by managers, and to focus on specific commercial aspects, such as retailing, within the business of dark tourism.

▼ Dark Tourism is a relatively new concept, but as a phenomenon it has existed for centuries in the form of pilgrimages and gladiator games. The term includes visits to places associated with death and disaster, and has in more recent years become a highlighted tourist niche. This paper addresses the phenomenon of Dark Tourism and the reasons behind a visit to such an attraction. To find out the motive behind people's visits, interviews were conducted with respondents who have previously visited one or more Dark Tourism sites. A total of 32 people were interviewed about what influenced them to go to such a macabre place. Observations were also performed on five Dark Tourism attractions, in order to provide a greater understanding for their attractiveness and appeal.In our research we found that, often, a multiple reasons lay behind the choice to visit a Dark Tourism site. Two of the main reasons stated by the respondents for their visits, were history and education, with the motivation that the abovementioned referees wanted to experience and learn about the past simultaneously. We also found that curiosity for attractions characterized as “different”, was a strong motivation for many of our interviewed.
Dark Tourism är ett relativt nytt begrepp men fenomenet har existerat i århundraden exempelvis i form av pilgrimsfärder och gladiatorspel. Begreppet innefattar besök till platser som kopplas till död och katastrofer, vilket har blivit en turistnich som uppmärksammats mer under de senaste åren. Denna uppsats tar upp fenomenet Dark Tourism och vilka motiven är till att besöka en sådan attraktion.
För att få reda på motivet bakom människors vistelser har intervjuer utförts med respondenter som besökt Dark Tourism områden. Sammanlagt intervjuades 32 personer kring vad som påverkat dem att åka till en sådan makaber plats. Observationer har även utförts på fem Dark Tourism attraktioner för att ge en större förståelse kring deras dragningskrafter.
I arbetet fann vi att det ofta fanns flera motiv till ett besök på en Dark Tourism plats. Historia och utbildning var ett av de främsta skälen till besöken då de ville uppleva och få kunskap om det förgångna.
Vidare framkom det att nyfikenhet av att besöka en annorlunda attraktion för många utgjorde ett starkt motiv till deras besök.

▼ The aim of this study is to obtain a better understanding of what factors affect the motivation for visiting <em>Dark Tourism </em>sites and the way that these sites are regarded. By providing such an insight this study contributes to a greater understanding of Dark Tourism. In order to find answers to our questions, we interviewed several representatives at different sites and also carried out observations at three <em>Dark Tourism </em>attractions to reach a better understanding of the visors’ motivations for visiting this kind of tourist attractions. In our study we have concluded that people have become increasingly interested in visiting such <em>Dark Tourism </em>sites even though these may seem scary or uncomfortable. Our research has helped us to find answers to the questions that we asked and we have concluded that people have become more curious and want to know more about terrible events and why they took place.

▼ There are few places more able to captivate the public imagination than the historic prison. Ordinarily off-limits, the secretive and taboo prison space holds a certain appeal. There is a dearth of empirical evidence about this ‘dark' fascination which has endured since the prison's inception, due largely to limited means of investigation. However, a cost saving exercise by the UK Government implemented in early 2013, resulted in the closure of seven historic English prisons, three of which have been open for tourists to explore. For a limited time, members of the public have had access to roam these previously unseen, hidden spaces, and to partake in guided tours delivered by former prison officers. The first of its kind, this unique research utilises a qualitative methodology incorporating non-standardised interviews to gather data from tourists within the recently decommissioned prison. An examination of the history and relevance of death and dark tourism is followed by some debate of the prison tourism literature, after which, three key themes identified during analysis; Attraction, Experience and Impact are discussed in turn, with reflection upon both existing and novel philosophy. A distinct genre of prison tourist who shared their own personal association with the prison and criminality participated in this research (and quite by chance), namely four male former prisoners who had themselves been incarcerated in UK prisons. In addition, two young men, who professed their own, ongoing engagement in criminal activity, declared that if arrested again they would inevitably be facing a custodial sentence. These participants added a further dimension to the enquiry, and an alternative narrative through which to explore visitor motivation. Accordingly, this research expands on the evolving paradigm of prison tourism, the burgeoning area of dark tourism, and provides a chronicle for new understandings and further research within these fields.

▼ Dark tourism eli synkkä matkailu on matkustamista kohteisiin, jotka liittyvät jollain tavalla kuolemaan, kauhuun, kärsimykseen tai katastrofeihin. Dark tourism on ilmiönä suhteellisen tuore, mutta sen historia juontaa juurensa jo antiikin ajan gladiaattoritaisteluihin. Ilmiötä on tutkittu jonkin verran ja siitä on tehty muutamia opinnäytetöitä.
Yksi tunnetuimmista ja eniten vierailluista dark tourism -kohteista on Auschwitzin keskitysleiri. Auschwitz aloitti toimintansa vuonna 1940 ja leiri vapautettiin vuonna 1945. Toimintavuosiensa aikana Auschwitzissa murhattiin yli miljoona ihmistä, joista noin 90 prosenttia oli juutalaisia. Nykyään leiri toimii museona.
Opinnäytetyön aiheena oli selvittää, mitä dark tourism on ja miksi ihmiset valitsevat Auschwitzin matkakohteekseen. Dark tourism -termiä käsitellään Philip R. Stonen luoman synkkyyden asteikon kautta, jolla avataan dark tourismin monisävyistä tarjontaa. Lisäksi työssä esitellään seitsemän erilaista Stonen antamaa esimerkkiä dark tourismin kategorioista. Matkakohteen valintaa selitetään teorialla matkailun työntö- ja vetovoimatekijöistä. Työssä perehdytään myös Auschwitzin keskitysleiriin.
Opinnäytetyö oli laadullinen eli kvalitatiivinen tutkimus. Tutkimuksen aineistona käytettiin Auschwitziin ja dark tourismiin liittyvää kirjallisuutta ja Internet-aineistoa, valokuvia sekä menetelmäkirjallisuutta. Tiedonkeruumenetelmänä oli haastattelu, jonka kysymykset koskivat Auschwitzia ja haastateltavien henkilöiden sinne tekemiä matkoja.
Auschwitzin historia ja sen historiallinen merkityksellisyys olivat haastateltavien henkilöiden yleisimpiä syitä kyseisen matkakohteen valintaan. Auschwitz on kohteena mielenkiintoinen ja ainutlaatuinen. Jos avautuu mahdollisuus vierailla siellä, siihen mahdollisuuteen kannattaa tarttua.
Dark tourism means travelling to sites which are associated with death, terror, suffering or catastrophes. Dark tourism is rather new as a phenomenon but its history originates from the gladiator battles of the antiquity. The phenomenon has been studied and a few theses have been written about it.
One of the best known and most visited sites of dark tourism is the Auschwitz concentration camp. Auschwitz started its action in 1940 and the camp was released in 1945. During its years of action over a million persons were murdered and about 90 percent of them were Jewish. Nowadays the camp operates as a museum.
The objective of the thesis was to find out what dark tourism is and why people choose Auschwitz as their travel destination. The term “dark tourism” was handled through the Dark Tourism Spectrum by Philip R. Stone to open the diversity of dark tourism. Seven different examples of the categories of dark tourism by Stone were also presented. The choice of a travel destination was explained through the theory of thrust and the attraction factors of tourism. The thesis also studied the Auschwitz concentration camp.
The thesis was a qualitative study using literature and Internet material about Auschwitz and dark tourism,…

The ghost walks that has been chosen are arranged bycompanies that specializes in ghost walks alone and companies where ghostwalks are one of the products that are offered. To answer the studys purpose andquestions a quantitative method has been used. A chart have been created tocategorize the various ghost walks in Sweden with variables as: Name, year,theme, authenticity and nuance along with three maps. The maps and the chartare the basis of this study created to answer the questions about the diffusion ofghost walks in Sweden, what nuances they have according to Stones (2006) Adark tourism spectrum and the authenticity of the Swedish ghost walks. Theresult is divided into three parts where the questions are answered with the helpof the maps and the chart created for this study. The result of this study revealsthat ghost walks are a relatively wide spread phenomenon in Sweden. 41 ghostwalks were found during this study from the very north of Sweden to the south.At the same time as there are ghost walks in Sweden 70% of them are forentertainment purposes only. This also means that they are on the very brightestpart of the spectrum. 30% were considered to be on the darker part of thespectrum. Along with the mapping and categorizing of the ghost walks togetherwith their nuances the authenticity of the walks were also mapped andcategorized. Based on the results from this study it is clear that ghost walks existin many forms all around Sweden. It is not based on any template which makesthem all unique in their own way. The location of the ghost walk can determinethe theme, but it can just as well not be. This creates a fascinating dark touristphenomenon that can vary in nuances, locations, authenticity and theme.

▼ Beginning in September 2010, seismic events shook the city of Christchurch, New Zealand, resulting in significant losses for the
tourism sector, most notably the devastated Central Business District.
Tourism had to adjust especially following two major earthquakes, with visitors able to partake in disaster-themed tourist attractions or viewing the destruction as part of a self-guided tour of the city. Such activities fall into the realm of ‘
dark tourism’, or travel to sites of death, disaster or destruction. Following a major disaster with significant media coverage,
tourism organizations often scramble to alter the outsider’s perception of the disaster-struck destination. Using a qualitative case study, this thesis explores two dominant themes associated with post-disaster
tourism. First, it gathers perspectives of disaster
tourism experiences and
tourism industry recovery from multiple stakeholders to explore how
tourism following a major disaster is a complex and multi-dimensional phenomenon. Second, it investigates how
tourism advertising campaigns represented Christchurch, New Zealand and its inhabitants following the earthquakes.

▼ Actualmente, o mercado mundial do turismo caracteriza-se pela evolução do turismo de massas generalizado para um tipo de turismo mais individual, mais especializado e exigente. O acesso à realização de viagens e deslocações encontra-se disseminado um pouco por todo o Mundo, e em ritmo de crescimento, pelo que cada vez mais os destinos necessitam apostar na especialização, na qualidade e na diversificação como forma de atrair visitantes. Neste contexto, apresenta-se o turismo de índole militar, enquadrado no turismo cultural, como complemento à oferta turística já existente no concelho de Peniche – numa região caracterizada pela predominância do turismo de sol e mar, urge apostar noutros tipos de turismo complementares que permitam diversificar
a oferta, reduzir a sazonalidade e contribuir para a atracção de mais visitantes e prolongamento das suas estadas, resultando num positivo impacto económico.
O conceito de dark tourism, no qual se enquadra o turismo militar, tem vindo a ser
delineado e estudado ao longo dos últimos anos, e são vários os pontos por todo o
Mundo onde foi implementado nas décadas mais recentes. Trata-se de uma temática relativamente recente em termos de estudos e publicações, mas será provavelmente, e
tal como vários autores defendem, das mais antigas motivações para a prática da
viagem. Este conceito foi aqui aplicado ao concelho de Peniche, nomeadamente, às
estruturas defensivas aí existentes construídas no período pós-Restauração, criando assim uma alternativa cultural à tradicional oferta turística do concelho. O objectivo não foi a criação de um percurso turístico baseado nesta temática, mas sim a aplicação teórica e prática do conceito ao concelho de Peniche – mais do que a delineação do percurso, apontam-se as medidas necessárias para a implementação do turismo militar, de forma a permitir um bom desenvolvimento deste conceito no concelho.
Nowadays, the world tourism market shows an evolution of the generalized mass
tourism into a more individual type of tourism, more specialized and demanding. The
access to travelling is largely spread all around the world, and presently at an increasing
rhythm, creating the need for the destinations of investing in specialization, in quality
and in diversification as a way to attract visitors. Within this context, the military tourism, integrated in the cultural tourism, is presented as a complement to the touristic
offer that already exists in Peniche – in a region characterized by the prevailing sea and
sun tourism, it’s important to bet in other complementary kinds of tourism which will
allow to diversify the offer, decrease seasonality and attract more visitors and increase
their stays, with its positive economic impact.
The concept of dark tourism, within which the military tourism is integrated, has
been outlined and studied during the last few years, and there are many places around
the world where the concept has already been applied in the recent decades. It’s a
relatively recent subject, as far as studies and publishing are concerned, but…

▼ Humanity has a long standing fascination with death and disaster. Although dying has been partially sequestered from many western societies, death itself is the one true anthropological constant, encountered by every society through architecture, literature, language, institutions and many other human practices. Our relationships with death have very unique spatial characteristics, brought to life for this thesis by a phenomenon known as 'thanatourism'. Thanatourism is defined as travel to a site primarily or partially motivated by a desire to encounter death or disaster (Seaton, 1996) and, as a niche
tourism practice, it has flourished in recent decades. This growth has variously been attributed to the search for authenticity in
tourism, the dedifferentiation of leisure, secularisation, the sequestration of dying from society, and theories of postmodern leisure consumption. This thesis further develops the frameworks used to conceptualise thanatourism by exploring the commodification of war space throughout ex-Yugoslavia.
The 1990s Yugoslav War was the largest conflict in Europe post World War Two. The conflict left deep scars on the landscape; casualties numbered approximately 100,000, mass civilian murder and rape occurred and thousands of shells destroyed the major towns, cities and cultural artefacts. Leaders were indicted for genocide and the mass media kept the conflict at the forefront of Western attention for many years. Following the conflict, Yugoslavia disintegrated into seven Republics (Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia and Slovenia). Although tourists quickly returned to the war damaged regions, many of the returning tourists seek to encounter the sites associated with the conflict. These battlefields, shell pocked buildings and cemeteries quickly evolved from war scars to tourist attractions. This thesis interrogates the process by which entrepreneurs, policy makers and tourists facilitate the commodification of death and disaster.

▼ This thesis examines representations of solitary confinement at four penal history museums in the province of Ontario, Canada: the Olde Gaol Museum in Lindsay, the L’Orignal Old Jail in L’Orignal, the Peel Art Gallery Museum and Archives in Brampton, and Kingston Penitentiary in Kingston. Engaging with Brown’s (2009) theory of “penal spectatorship” and Cohen’s (2001) work on states of denial, I investigate how these representations of solitary confinement challenge and/or reinforce the idea that segregation is a necessary practice in operational carceral institutions. I identify three dominant themes. The first theme is who ends up in solitary confinement and why. The museums justify the necessity of solitary confinement by emphasizing its usefulness in neutralizing dangerous and unpredictable prisoners, along with its supposed ability to promote prisoner protection and the management of mental health needs. The second theme pertains to the duration prisoners spend in solitary confinement and the conditions they experience. The museums do not problematize prisoners’ length of stay in solitary confinement, nor the conditions of the cells in which they are held, rather historical penal discourses are used to demonstrate improvements over time, without problematizing its present uses. The third theme arising from my analysis concerns the impacts of solitary confinement on prisoners. The museums emphasize the positive effects that solitary confinement can have on prisoners such as providing the opportunity for contemplation, while information on the negative effects of isolation including exacerbating or triggering mental health issues are largely absent. Taking these findings into consideration, I argue that the penal history museums I examined foster social distance between visitors and those in conflict with the law by legitimating the exclusion of the latter, while reinforcing the idea that solitary confinement is a necessary practice in carceral institutions today.

▼ This study sought to evaluate the nature, scope and management of dark heritage sites. The empirical study was carried out at six memorial sites and museums associated with the Holocaust and other Nazi Germany atrocities, situated in both victim and perpetrator countries. These included sites of and associated with death. Two core literatures provided the theoretical underpinning of the study: dark tourism and servicescape management. The literature on dark tourism reveals the complexity and multi-faceted nature and scope of dark tourism phenomena; the expanded servicescape framework was evaluated and applied to the context of dark tourism site management. A conceptual model was constructed from the fusion of the two strands of academic literature to guide the empirical research. A qualitative multicase methodology was employed. Multi-methods were used to collect data at six sites, which enabled the detailed examination of both the complexity and particular nature of each case, as well as allowing for cross-case analysis and evaluation. The six (dark) heritage tourism sites were revealed to be complex and dynamic servicescapes. Site managers indicated that there were many challenges regarding the maintenance of sites and in making them relevant for today's visitors. Unlike previous decades, the majority of visitors today have no direct personal links to the sites (this history). The study illustrates the inadequacy of the academic terminology of 'dark tourism' in the context of sites of and associated with death and genocide. Instead, these sites were perceived to be dynamic, participative and elevated servicescapes focusing on respecting the dignity of the victims, honouring their sacrifice, preserving and displaying the sites, and delivering a clear educational offering that cultivates social conscience at both individual and collective levels. The managed dark heritage servicescape has the capacity to deliver a cultural experience that bridges the past and present, presenting potential value beyond the on-site encounter for both the visitor (individual level) and society (collective level) and allowing a gaze to the future.

▼ Alors que le conflit en Syrie continue sa course dévastatrice depuis mars 2011, cette recherche s’inscrit dans une démarche prospective visant à envisager le post-conflit. Après une analyse de la situation touristique et politique de la Syrie, avant et pendant le conflit, notre travail aboutit à une série de constats et de prévisions qui permettent de dessiner le contour d’un tourisme post-conflit dans le pays. Pour compléter notre analyse nous avons eu recours au comparatisme avec les cas de la Bosnie-Herzégovine et de la Croatie. Les deux pays ayant connu des conflits dans les années 1990, cette démarche nous a permis d’y observer le contexte post-conflit avec plus de recul. Les questions du devenir du patrimoine existant et de l’émergence d’un « nouveau patrimoine » issu du conflit font partie des sujets auxquels nous nous sommes intéressés ainsi qu’à l’évolution de l’interprétation de ces différents patrimoines au fil du temps (« à chaud »/ « à froid »). Nous nous sommes intéressés en parallèle aux nouvelles formes de tourisme qui pourraient accompagner le retour de la paix, notamment le "dark tourism", caractéristique du contexte post-conflit. Le résultat prend la forme de scenarii décrivant les différents aboutissements possibles du conflit en cours en Syrie et leurs implications respectives sur le futur du tourisme dans le pays.
While the harrowing conflict in Syria has been enduring since March 2011, this research aims nonetheless to foresee the aftermath of the war through a forward-looking approach. After an analysis of the situation in Syria, before and during the war, from a touristic and political point of view, our work results in a series of observations and forecasts that allow us to draw the outlines of a post-conflict tourism in the country. More specifically and in order to complete our analysis, we used a comparative framework to study the examples of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as Croatia. Given that both countries have lived through conflict in the 1990s, this approach enabled us to observe the post-conflict context with a longer lapse of time. The questions related to the future of heritage sites, the emergence of a “new heritage” resulting from the conflict itself, and the changes over time in the interpretation of these different forms of heritage (“hot/cold interpretation”) were among the main issues that we have treated in this dissertation. We also took a major interest in the appearance of new forms of tourism that might accompany the return of peace, especially the “dark tourism”, typical of the post-conflict context. The results are presented in the form of scenarios that describe the different possible outcomes of the current conflict in Syria and their respective implications for the future of tourism in the country.

▼ A large part of the
tourism literature has focused on the phenomenon of slavery
tourism, or the visitation of sites related to the Transatlantic Slave Trade. In the U.S. South, former plantation homes are popular sites of visitation, albeit very few studies have looked at African Americans' experiences there. The purpose of this qualitative dissertation is to understand both the politics of representation of slavery at slavery related sites (production side) and the different ways African American visitors make sense of these sites (consumption side).
The present study uses the case of the African Burial Ground National Monument, a former cemetery for enslaved and free Africans living in colonial New Amsterdam (today New York City) and now a National Park in Lower Manhattan, which exhibits a complex combination of "darkness" and "sacredness." The site exposes the public to its contentious process of development and reveals that African American visitors have mixed perceptions of slavery and the way it should be remembered and represented on site (Africans as victims or as victors), as well as a range of motivations to visit, experiences and emotions attached to the site.
This research illustrates how slavery
tourism sites choose to represent slavery, whether from the perspective of the White slaveholders, as it has traditionally been done, or from the perspective of enslaved Africans, as it is done at the African Burial Ground. Whatever the strategy they choose, this study demonstrates that there is a process through which these sites go in order to create the final product to be presented in the brochures, tour narratives, and exhibits. This study illustrates how visitors' relationship to the site influences their experience there, including the physical, spiritual, and psychological acts they exercise (volunteering, praying, pouring libations, communicating with the ancestors, etc.), and the meanings they attach to the site visited, whether it is pride, sadness, anger, or peace.
The significant insights from this study contribute to the current literature on slavery
tourism, particularly the one on African American visitors' experiences, and suggest managerial propositions for the National Park Service and other institutions offering interpretive programs on slavery.

▼ Mörk turism är ett växande fenomen som ger turisten möjligheten till mer annorlunda resor, där död, olyckor och det makabra är i fokus. Som dödliga varelser kan man argumentera att det alltid finns ett visst intresse för döden, både sin egen död och andras (Stone 2006). Mörk turism är heller inget nytt fenomen. Stone (2006) konstaterar att man kan dra kopplingar med mörk turism ända till de romerska gladiatorspelen. Ett annat tidigt exempel av mörk turism kan vara offentliga avrättningar under medeltiden. Under åren har fenomenet mörk turism förändrats. Enligt Stone (2006) har mörk turism under det senaste århundradet blivit mer utbrett, Stone (2006) citerar Smith (1998); the largest single category of tourist attraction in the world” när det kommer till platser som har en koppling till mörka och historiska händelser. Det är framför allt platser med koppling till krigsskadade platser. Denna studie syftar till att skapa en förståelse varför individer besöker mörka platser. Respondenternas resmål har i sin tur kopplat samman med deras nationalitet och motiven bakom resan. Denna studie grundar sig på en kvantitativ studie i form av en elektronisk enkät skapad i programmet Survey&Report. Den insamlade enkätdatan har i sin tur analyserats i SPSS för att få en djupare inblick av resultatet. För att besvara vårt syfte och frågeställningar har vi valt att publicera enkäten i två olika Facebook-grupper Dark Tourism Photography & Dark Tourism and Curious Places och i Redditgruppen dark tourism. Enkäten delades även ut till individer som vi ansåg vara lämpliga för studien. Det totala antalet respondenter blev 52. Resultatet av denna studie visar på att de flesta av respondenterna besökte mörka platser med motiven ‘Utbildande syfte’ och ‘Att minnas det förflutna. En central fråga i frågeformuläret var även om respondenten såg något etiskt dilemma med att besöka mörka platser. Här var resultatet relativt tudelat där nästan lika många svarade Ja som Nej.
Dark tourism is a growing phenomenon that gives the tourist the opportunity to travels focusing on death, accidents and the macabre are in focus. As mortal beings, one can argue that there is always some interest in death, both our own death and others (Stone 2006). Dark tourism is also not a new phenomenon. Stone (2006) notes dark tourism can be traced back to the Roman gladiator games. Another early example of dark tourism may be public executions during the Middle Ages. Over the years, the phenomenon of dark tourism has changed. According to Stone (2006), dark tourism in the last century has become more widespread, Stone (2006) cites Smith (1998); “the largest single category of tourist attraction in the world”. When it comes to places that have a connection to dark and historical events. It is mainly places with connections to places damaged by war. This study aims to create an understanding why individuals visit dark places. The respondents' destinations, are linked to their…

▼ O Dark Tourism representa uma extensão do turismo cultural, uma vez que surgiu a necessidade de inovar essa tipologia, por se observar uma diminuição na procura. Essa alteração verificou-se ao nível da experiência turística, ou seja, procurou-se através da experiência, proporcionar momentos únicos ao nível cultural, para que voltasse a ser opção para um maior número de turistas. Este turismo classifica-se pela procura de locais onde outrora ocorreram catástrofes, sofrimento e morte, de modo a satisfazer a curiosidade de quem sobreviveu. São considerados locais de Dark Tourism os campos de concentração, estabelecimentos prisionais inativos, casas de serial killers, cemitérios, e todos os restantes locais que se encaixem nos padrões de morte, tragédia e sofrimento. Em Portugal existem alguns locais associados à prática de Dark Tourism, embora este ainda não esteja suficientemente explorado. Foi definido como objetivo principal desta investigação a avaliação da
potencialidade do Dark Tourism como temática em si mesma, aplicada ao destino Porto. Em resultado deste objetivo principal, são apresentados três objetivos parciais, aos quais se associam as hipóteses de investigação: Comprovar, através deste estudo, a existência de um nicho de mercado, no Porto, associado ao Dark Tourism; Perceber em que medida a cidade do Porto dispõe de recursos turísticos e procura turística, capazes de desenvolver uma experiência turística no âmbito do Dark Tourism; Sensibilizar as entidades gestoras do Destino Porto (DMO’s) para a oportunidade deste mercado. Foram aplicados 178 questionários a turistas/visitantes na cidade do Porto. Face aos resultados obtidos podemos concluir que foi possível confirmar algumas hipóteses, variáveis e domínios propostos.
Dark Tourism represents an extension of cultural tourism, since it was necessary to innovate this typology because it was having some breaks in demand. This change was verified in the level of the tourist experience, that is, it was tried through the experience, to provide unique moments in the cultural level, so that it returned to be the option for a greater number of tourists. This tourism is classified by the search of places where once catastrophes, suffering and death occurred, in order to satisfy the curiosity of those who survived. Dark Tourism sites include concentration camps, inactive prisons, serial killers, cemeteries, and all other venues that meet the standards of death, tragedy and suffering. In Portugal there are some sites associated with the practice of Dark Tourism, although this is not yet sufficiently explored. It was defined as the main objective of this investigation the evaluation of the potential of Dark Tourism as a theme in itself, applied
to the destination of Porto. As a result of this main objective, three partial objectives are presented, to which the research hypotheses are associated: To prove, through this study, the existence of a market niche in Porto associated to Dark Tourism; To understand to what extent the city of Porto has tourism resources and…

▼ This study aims to examine the motivation, experience and benefits of Nepalese domestic tourists visiting the seismic memorial sites after the 25 April 2015 earthquake (known as Gorkha earthquake). A total of 403 surveys was gathered from seismic sites of Nepal (Kathmandu, Bhaktapur and Patan). Data were tested to analyze why the tourists are interested in disaster sites and how their experience during their visit impact the benefits of the visits. Additionally, partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was employed to test the relationships among tourist motivations, experiences, and perceived benefits at the
dark tourism sites in Nepal. Among the five motivational factors discovered, the empirical results depict that emotional reaction is the strongest factor of the
dark tourism motivation, affecting both cognitive and affective experiences. Additionally, this study confirms that cognitive experience is more influenced by
dark tourism motivations than affective experience. Among the four experience factors examined in the study, self-reflection is found to have the strongest impact of three aspects of perceived
dark tourism benefits, such as knowledge gain, fulfillment, and appreciation. Overall, the findings of the study provide important implications to the management sectors of
dark tourism sites, enhancing the importance of providing cognitive experiences (i.e. distributing the educational materials about the
dark tourism events and offering the knowledgeable tour guide who can guide the sites) and affective experience of the tourists (storytelling about the events, organizing educational and volunteering programs at the sites). Further, this study contributes to the limited literature in the context of
dark tourism and provide important managerial and practical implications based on the case of Nepal earthquake in 2015.

▼ The purpose of this study is to investigate which motives tourists have to visit the Woodland Cemetery in Stockholm, Sweden and which feelings the visit brought. Furthermore, the study aims to find out where the locals in Stockholm think that the acceptable limit goes for tourism at the Woodland Cemetery and what potential conflicts that may occur between the groups. The study is based on a quantitative method with web surveys as an approach. Three surveys were sent to both national and international tourists and to people living in Stockholm. The compilation and presentation of data was made in Microsoft Excel where charts were designed. The results are discussed in relation to previous research, which forms the basis of the questions in the surveys. The result shows that the main motives for tourists to visit the Woodland Cemetery are because it is a beautiful place with beautiful nature, to experience the architecture and because the place has an interesting culture and history. The feelings most tourists felt were respect, a mental calm, humility, spirituality and emotional feelings. From the locals’ perspective, some respondents feel that tourism in the cemetery is acceptable, others do not want tourism at all and some even promote tourism. However, what emerged is that many of the respondents thinks it is about the volume and how things are done. Several people said that the limit goes when there are far too many tourists and when activities and functions are not being done with consideration and respect.

▼ The aim of this study was to understand motivations to visit
dark tourism sites, particularly, in South Africa and generally internationally.
Dark tourism or
tourism to places associated with death, pain and suffering is relatively new and under researched. Although
dark tourism literature is growing, there was still some uncertainty in academic circles about its theorisation and conceptualisation. Some have argued that
dark tourism was just branding in a competitive academic landscape.
Touring places associated with
dark events started back in the Middle Ages, however, since the last quarter of the 20th century there had been a notable increase in the organisation of
tourism to
dark attractions. The negative sightseeing concept appeared to be the first concept to be used in the 1970s to characterise this form of
tourism. However, meaningful scholarly endeavour to understand this phenomenon emerged in the 1990s. The concepts that emerged during this time to dominate theorisation of
dark tourism are thanatopsis (contemplation of death), and intimations of postmodernity from which the
dark tourism concept emerged. The
dark tourism concept has become popular in literature. Some of the other terms which have been used to describe tours to places associated with
dark events and to describe sites of that nature are: black spots
tourism, assassination sites
tourism, dissonant
tourism, morbid
tourism, disaster
tourism, conflict
tourism, poverty
tourism, slum
tourism, landscapes of violent tragedy, and, geographies of trauma.
This study was conducted at three sites in South Africa: the Robben Island Museum, the Hector Pieterson Memorial Museum, and the Apartheid Museum. This study was concerned with a deeper understanding of tourists’ motives to engage in
dark tourism in general, and to tour the research sites in particular. Further this study explored how tourists and curators (of the museums, the research sites) interpreted them. The research adopted a qualitative research approach which stressed social interaction, social construction, and the creation of meaning. Qualitative research approach is a major tool in the pursuit for a deeper and broader understanding of the meanings of events, activities, situations and actions of research participants.
This study revealed that visitors toured
dark tourism sites intentionally in order to: pay homage to the victims of difficult pasts; learn, especially history; remember victims of difficult pasts; pay homage to Nelson Mandela, and connect with South Africa’s political struggles. Visitors also toured the
dark tourism sites because they were in bigger trips which also involved visiting nature reserves. Tourists labelled visits to nature reserves as safaris; finally, visits were motivated by curiosity and desire to know. This study found that the following intermediaries played important roles in influencing visits to
dark tourism sites: tour operators; educational institutions in the USA; television, internet, and social media; TripAdvisor; Nelson Mandela’s autobiography, Long…

▼ This study examines solutions to interpretive challenges at
dark tourism sites. The academic field of
dark tourism explores travel to and the nature of heritage sites that have gained significance from a past of tragedy and suffering. Due to the sensitive nature of such sites there are a number of inherent interpretive challenges. Through research including interviews and site visits, interpretive methods which effectively confront these inherent challenges are identified. Gaining significance from its past as a place of exile for Hansen's disease (leprosy) patients, Kalaupapa National Historical Park remains the home of about 10 patients. Once there are no longer patients living on the peninsula the responsibility to interpret this story falls to land management agencies. Utilizing the methods identified to confront
dark tourism challenges, interpretation at Kalaupapa and other
dark tourism sites can be systematically approached to ensure an authentic and respectful interpretive program.

▼ Savannah’s branded image has been deeply entrenched in the city’s ability to market its Antebellum past. The tourism industry in the city has perpetuated the Old South stereotype. However, over the last thirty years there has been a shift in
the tourism industry, a shift towards dark tourism. This type of tourism introduces the public to information about eerie topics, such as death and ghosts. It also introduces topics that are typically not discussed during traditional tours, such as
slavery and folklore. Because of the tourism industry’s connection to the city’s brand, this shift could change Savannah’s branded image.

▼ Das Ziel dieser Arbeit, “Memory, Ethics and Dark Tourism”, war es zu untersuchen inwiefern ein umstrittenes historisches Erbe wie Anlong Veng, die letzte Hochburg des völkermoerderischen Pol Pot Regimes in Kambodscha, als sehenswerte Dark Tourism
Destination verstanden werden kann. Unter anderem war es beabsichtigt zu zeigen, dass nur unter Berücksichtigung der Bedeutung der Stätte für Kambodschaner selbst eine angemessene Einschätzung der touristischen Erfahrung dort erreicht werden kann. Letztlich wurde untersucht inwiefern das Denkmal gleichzeitig auch seine eigentliche Hauptintention, die Förderung des Wiederversöhnungsprozesses in Kambodscha,
vorantreibt. Für die Untersuchung wurden interdisziplinäre als auch qualitative Methoden verwendet. Mit Hilfe der Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) wurden fünf Reiseblogeinträge aus dem Internet auf Erfahrungen der internationalen Touristen
untersucht. Die qualitativen Forschungsdaten resultierten aus fünf qualitativen Leitfadeninterviews mit Experten in den Bereichen Wiederversöhnung und Erinnerung, aufgenommen in Phnom Penh, Kambodscha. Die Ergebnisse zeigten, dass moralische
Bedenken durchaus gerechtfertigt sind und der Besuch der Stätte von internationalen Touristen als nicht lohnenswert empfunden wird. Unter anderem wurde jedoch herausgefunden, dass das westliche Verständnis von Moral, sowie die Erwartungen
bezüglich des Managements solcher Stätten, nicht auf den kambodschanischen Kontext übertragen werden können, sowie dass das historische Erbe Anlong Vengs durchaus einen positiven Einfluss auf den nationalen Wiederversöhnungsprozess haben kann. Die Schlussfolgerung besteht daraus, dass die Bedeutung des Besuchs vom Bewustsein und Interagieren mit der Stätte, während der kulturellen Begegnung, abhängt.
The purpose of the present thesis, “Memory, Ethics and Dark Tourism”, was to investigate to what extent a contested heritage site like Anlong Veng, the last stronghold
of the genocidal Pol Pot regime in Cambodia, can be experienced as a dark tourist destination worth visiting. It was attempted to show, that a proper assessment of morally questionable sites such as Anlong Veng can only be reached if the meaning of
such sites for the affected themselves is taken into consideration. Finally, it was intended to examine how far the site is able to reach its overall objective to foster the
reconciliation process in Cambodia in the meantime. The research was conducted by means of interdisciplinary and qualitative methods. With the aid of Critical Discourse
Analysis (CDA) five internet travel weblogs have been analyzed regarding the experiences of international visitors on site. The qualitative research data consisted of five in-depth interviews with experts in the field of reconciliation and remembrance,
conducted in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. The results revealed that moral concerns are justified and also that the site is experienced as not worth visiting by international tourists. However, it was also discovered that Western perceptions of morality and

▼ Over the past century the phenomenon of thanatourism, or dark tourism, has become increasingly popular, with tourists now able to encounter death at a wide range of sites across the world. While much scholarship has focused on tourism at sites of disaster and atrocity, less research has taken place into thanatourism in a museum context. This thesis investigates how Gotlands Museum is offering its visitors a dark tourism experience by adopting thanatourism theming in its exhibitions and programmes. It explores the ways the museum presents Gotland’s dark history, asks how and why the museum has adopted thanatourism as a thematisation strategy, and considers whether this strategy is helping the institution achieve future sustainability. This study is based on in-depth interviews with current staff members at the museum, who have been involved with creating exhibitions and presenting programmes related to Gotland’s dark history. Detailed observation of the exhibitions Medieval Gotland and 1361 – The Battle for Gotland, as well as the guided city tour The Bloody Summer, also provide additional data. The study finds that Gotlands Museum has harnessed the ‘purposeful Otherness’ of death through implementing thanatourism theming in both its permanent exhibitions and public programming in order to reach new and wider audiences. It also finds that this is an example of the museum embracing new museology and adopting the customer-centric focus of the tourism industry by presenting thrilling exhibitions and programmes to attract more visitors. The study suggests that by implementing popular thanatourism-themed exhibitions and programmes, Gotlands Museum has been able to be economically, socially and culturally sustainable by attracting visitors, educating diverse groups, telling diverse stories and preserving Gotland’s history for future generations.

Dark tourism: understanding visitor motivation at sites of death and disaster.

▼ People are fascinated with death and disaster. One simply has to watch traffic slow to a crawl when passing a car accident to understand this. However, this fascination goes beyond the side of a highway and enters the realm of
tourism. Today, numerous sites of death and disaster attract millions of visitors from all around the world: Auschwitz-Birkenau, Anne Frank's House, Graceland, Oklahoma City, Gettysburg, Vimy Ridge, the Somme, Arlington National Cemetery. The list grows each year as exhibited by the recent creation of an apartheid museum in Johannesburg, South Africa. Due to the increasing popularity of this
tourism product, a small number of academics have begun studying the phenomenon. Leading the field are Lennon and Foley who labeled it
Dark Tourism, Seaton who coined the term Thanatourism, and Rojek who developed the concept of Black Spots. However, despite ongoing study, there has been a paucity in understanding what actually motivates individuals to sites of
dark tourism. Yet understanding motivation is imperative, particularly given the
subject and sensitivity of these sites. Some are slowly decaying, and visitors play a large role in their preservation. Subsequently, without proper management, visitor influxes can further deteriorate sites or induce friction with the locals. Knowledge then, also provides administrators the necessary tools to properly manage the varying stakeholders. Although many feel an interest in death and disaster simply stems from morbidity, the range of factors involved extend from an interest in history and heritage to education to remembrance. To begin this study, a list of possible motivations was compiled. Then, to get a better comprehension of these motivations, visitors to the Holocaust Museum Houston were surveyed as a case study. As a commodified, synthetic site of death and atrocity, the museum fits the definitions of a
dark tourism site as established by lead academics. Therefore, by asking visitors to the museum what motivated them to the site, the results will hopefully give some acumen into the wants and needs of certain stakeholders. Finally, this research sought to discover if motivation at the museum could shed light on motivation to other sites of
dark tourism.

▼ Dissertação apresentada para cumprimento dos requisitos necessários à obtenção do grau de Mestre em Antropologia: Culturas Visuais
Em Carabane, ilha turística da região da Casamansa, no Sul do Senegal, cruzam-se as rotas de turistas, emigrados e expatriados ocidentais locais e ainda as perspectivas de migração para o Ocidente de uma parte da população local. O resultado dessa confluência neste cenário é o ponto de partida para uma maquetagem da heterogeneidade de discursos e práticas que se processam no seio dessa economia negociada de desejos mútuos, profundamente enformada pelas lógicas de sentido contemporâneas.

▼ Ghost stories have a long and diverse history, they appeared in religious contexts, in secular traditions, in entertainment, and in therapy and healing. Few elements of human culture have been as dynamic as the idea that the dead return to the living world as immaterial beings. Since the late nineteenth century Virginians have used ghost stories to talk about, interpret, and understand the historical significance of place. This dissertation argues that Virginians have used ghost stories to identify and make meaning of historical sites since the turn of the last century. These historical ghost stories sought to highlight the presence of the past, as well as Virginians’ close relationship with long-dead historical figures. Virginias used the ghost stories to argue that the commonwealth’s old structures and cities were especially historical and worthy of restoration. Founders of historical sites in Virginia used ghost stories as a way to offer their guests emotional, intimate, and personal connects to the celebrated past. The stories erased the distance of time, and suggested that past and present people cohabited in specifically defined historical places. Scholars who study historical sites often focus on the transition from volunteer to professional museum and public history workers. They argue that the professionalized workers rejected and silenced the public’s emotional understandings of place-based history, gave rise to more nuanced understandings of the field, and developed rich discussions on the roles that race, class, and gender play at historical sites. In that turn scholars have tended to ignore the publics’ emotional fascinations with historical sites, as seen through ghost stories. This dissertation illustrates that hauntings’ meanings and associations outlasted the professional turn and not helped establish the public’s trust in professional historical institutions, but continue to do so in the present day.

▼ Although previous tourism research has acknowledged the phenomenon of dark tourism, there is still an absence of research in relation to the design and management of interpretation at dark visitor attractions (DVAs) situated on the lighter end of the darkness spectrum (LDVAs). In order to bring a greater understanding of interpretation design processes within the field of dark tourism, this research, underpinned by an interpretivist paradigm, draws on three specific areas of study - heritage tourism, dark tourism, and interpretation. This research relies on qualitative methods, including semistructured interviews with managers and focus group discussions with staff using rich picture building. These methods were employed for data collection at The Real Mary King's Close (RMKC), Sick to Death (S2D), and Gravedigger Ghost Tour (GGT). These LDVAs were selected as examples of the wider range of LDVAs, which promote edutainment agendas using a variety of interpretive methods, including re-enactment, in order to deliver information pertaining to unpleasant histories of the more distant past. The findings of this research include a range of influences based on management challenges at RMKC, S2D, and GGT. These influences include stakeholder inclusion and experience with interpretation design; budget restrictions; access, spatial limitations, and conservation concerns; edutainment and selecting interpretation methods; and managing ethical concerns and authenticity. The findings also revealed a series of relationships between these influences and further exposed a number of management challenges relating to interpretation designs. The findings also demonstrate that LDVAs are critically concerned with matters of authenticity and historical facts, despite their entertaining nature and higher commercial infrastructure. In order to manage these influences and the exposed management challenges, this thesis argues that LDVAs would benefit from a holistic model that comprises steps of interpretation planning, designing, and on-going management activities. It therefore proposes a guiding model, contributing to both theory and practice.

▼ Temačni turizem lahko opredelimo kot turizem, ki vključuje potovanja v kraje, povezane s smrtjo, nasiljem, različnimi nesrečami in katastrofami, ki imajo še vedno močan vpliv na naše življenje. Tovrstne kraje označujemo kot temačne. Potovanja v takšne kraje so motivirana z željo obiskovalca po dejanskem ali simboličnem srečanju s smrtjo. Čeprav potovanja, povezana s smrtjo in tragedijami, zasledimo že v obdobju starega Rima, ko so ljudje obiskovali gladiatorske borbe, se je pojem temačni turizem pojavil konec prejšnjega stoletja. Želje turistov po obisku lokacij, povezanih s smrtjo, grozo in trpljenjem, naraščajo. V Sloveniji je področje temačnega turizma še dokaj neraziskano. V nalogi osredotočamo na temačne kraje in zgodbe, vezane na področje občin Brežice in Krško in ugotavljamo ali v sebi nosijo potencial za razvoj turističnega produkta.
Dark tourism is defined as tourism that involves traveling to places associated with death, violence, various types of disasters and catastrophes, which still have a strong influence on our lives. Such places are described as dark. Traveling to dark places is motivated by visitor’s desire for actual or symbolic encounter with death. While traveling connected to death and tragedies is traced back to the period of ancient Rome, when people attended gladiatorial contests, the notion of dark tourism appeared at the end of the last century. The desire of tourists to visit the sites associated with death, horror and suffering has been increasing. In Slovenia, the area of dark tourism is still relatively unexplored. In our research, we focus on the dark places and stories, related to the area of the municipalities of Brežice and Krško.
