Gory Tourism

Gory tourism, also known as dark tourism, involves visiting locations associated with death, suffering, or disaster. Destinations might include former battlefields, historical sites of tragedy, or places with a notorious past, like prisons or disaster zones. This type of tourism attracts people interested in understanding history, human rights, or the macabre. While some seek to honor victims or learn from the past, others might be drawn by curiosity or thrill. It raises ethical questions about the commercialization of tragedy and the impact on local communities and the memory of those affected.
