What do you think about dark tourism? What about genealogy tourism? What are the differences between them?

Answer 1

DARK TOURISM:
Dark Tourism, also referred to as grief tourism includes individuals who are keenly curious about visiting locations traditionally connected to death and disaster. Dark Tourism sub-sets are also locations that are examples of human misery and bloodshed. While this idea sounds a little strange, the patterns are quickly catching up. And Dark Tourism naturally finds its place in India, with such a long history.

It is a global industry and prominent in countries where mass immigration was experienced.
