The first time I’ve ever heard of the word “dark tourism” was when I was preparing for WSC… I never thought travelling to such places around the world had a specific name to them 🕷️.
You could guess the (slight) excitement I had when I heard we’ll be doing a seminar on this. If I were to be honest, this is probably the most interesting seminar. Lots of thanks to the leaders, the way they had two different perspectives from two different people to let us explore this topic is brand new, and very successful.
Now let’s share my opinion on this. Honestly I don’t see that many problems travelling to these places. You can learn history and broaden your knowledge💪💪. However, some may think it’s unethical to do so since people might disrespect the dead ones or mock the history. Everyone has biases on historical events, but it’s unethical to express it publicly as it will offend or even trigger people. Personally I think the local government should impose sanctions to people who disrespect the dark tourism spots 😡😡.
overall, I think dark tourism is cool 😋🙂↕️
