Talk:Dark tourism

message: - it's not an expression I've heard of before, but there must be a lot more that can be said on the subject. Places that I would suggest could be dark tourism are Robben Island in South Africa, StalinWorld in Lithuania, many cold war era sites in Berlin, so-called terror tourism of the Peace lines of Belfast.
I would suggest that recent history, holds a greater 'dark' thrall than older history.  Madame Tussauds, for example, was displaying death masks of guillotined victims of the French Revolution at the beginning of the 19th century when I would imagine that they were more shocking to Londoners than they are now becuase of the it-could-happen-here fear. --JBellis 17:08, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

message: I don't see why this expression merits an entry. People visit historical - and the mentioned - sites for many reaons, often outside the notion of 'dark'. It's an entirely POV statement.--TresRoque 01:15, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

replies: text:  Hi TresRoque, while i sympathize with your above notion, I think the evidence put together here by now has proven you wrong, 7 years later. would be interesting to see what you think today, after you've had a chance to read the stuff that anthropologists, economists, psychologists etc have written about it. new chapters sometimes do need to be written...--Wuerzele (talk) 17:31, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Snuff Tourism? Morbid Tourism? 

message: I have removed the following sentence: "The best-known  destination for dark tourism is the German extermination camp at Auschwitz in Poland." Whilst I do agree with it myself, it is a totally subjective and unverifiable statement that has no place in an encyclopedia. If anyone has a creditable source for this statement feel free to reinsert it, but I somehow doubt that anyone has ever done a study into how well known dark tourism sites are!

replies: text: agree with you, no evidence, suspect it was a cut and past job from a book...--Wuerzele (talk) 17:24, 1 March 2014 (UTC)

text: Sharing my agreement with this decision to remove the statement "best-known destination for dark tourism is the German extermination camp at Auschwitz in Poland." While this description offers context and important reference regarding the field, the comparison generalizes dark tourism and the possibilities of different locations. --As1n8h (talk) 05:37, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
