Thanatourism

Thanatourism, also known as dark tourism, involves visiting sites associated with death, tragedy, or suffering, such as battlefields, cemeteries, or disaster zones. It provides an opportunity for reflection, education, or memorialization, helping people understand historical events or cultural practices related to mortality. While sometimes criticized for sensationalism, it can also promote awareness and respect for the past. Overall, thanatourism explores our fascination with mortality and the ways societies remember and honor those who have experienced tragic events.
