Dark tourism (also thanatourism, black tourism, morbid tourism, or grief tourism) has been defined as tourism involving travel to places historically associated with death and tragedy.[1] More recently, it was suggested that the concept should also include reasons tourists visit that site, since the site's attributes alone may not make a visitor a "dark tourist".[2] The main attraction to dark locations is their historical value rather than their associations with death and suffering.[2][3] Holocaust tourism contains aspects of both dark tourism and heritage tourism.[4]
