“Dark tourism (also black tourism or grief tourism) has been defined as tourism involving travel to places historically associated with death and tragedy. ... The main attraction to dark locations is their historical value rather than their associations with death and suffering”
Remind you of the important aspects of life, an opportunity to open up difficult conversations and to pay respect
Takes you out of your comfort zone and at the same time providing education
I want to remove the negative connections with Dark Tourism and focus on the educational side and make Dark Tourism accessible for all.
About me
My name is Sian, I'm a Languages & International Tourism Management University graduate from Edinburgh Napier University & University of Sunderland. I specialised in Dark Tourism for my major project dissertation in my final year, this was before Dark Tourism was a popular concept so I undertook a lot of my own research at popular dark attractions. I have a great passion for this niche subject Recently I have decided to turn my passion, knowledge and experience into a business and start a career I can enjoy. this page allows me to share my knowledge, enthusiasm and get people to engage in a shared interest.
