Life, Death and Dark Tourism: Future Research Directions and Concluding Comments --References --IndexOver the last decade, the concept of dark tourism has attracted growing academic interest and media attention. Nevertheless, perspectives on and understanding of dark tourism remain varied and theoretically fragile whilst, to date, no single book has attempted to draw together the conceptual themes and debates surrounding dark tourism, to explore it within wider disciplinary contexts and to establish a more informed relationship between the theory and practice of dark tourism. This book meets the undoubted need for such a volume by providing a contemporary and comprehensive analysis of dark tourism.Aspects of Tourism, No. 41TourismWar memorialsHistoric sitesDeathSocial aspectsauthenticity.battlefield tourism.dark tourism experiences.dark tourism.disaster tourism.genocide tourism.thanatourism.thanatourists.tourism and death.tourism ethics.tourism management.Tourism.War memorials.Historic sites.DeathSocial aspects.338.4/791Sharpley Richard1956-633760Stone Philip R1466473MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910777904703321The darker side of travel3812633UNINA
