What is black tourism? What are the black tourist attractions?

What do you think black tourism is? Is it a deception to tourists, or is it the dark side of tourism and the black-box operation of scenic spots that we often see in the news? Neither. In fact, it is still a very heavy thing to mention black tourism. What is this? Let's take a look at it next!

What is black tourism?

The so-called black tourism refers to a phenomenon that people travel to places where death, disaster, pain, terrorist incidents or tragedies occur.

Tézenas collected more than a dozen black tourist attractions around the world in his album Here I am, including those commemorating massacres, assassinations, mass executions and natural disasters.

Tézenas does not want to convey any guiding values in any special capacity. He just photographed what he saw as an ordinary tourist.

During the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008, a tour group came to Xuankou Middle School in Yingxiu Town, Sichuan Province for sightseeing.

In the memorial hall of Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland, the tank in the picture is a poisonous gas tank used by the Nazis to slaughter Jews.

At the Lebanese Anti-Japanese War Museum, a little boy stood on the artistic decoration made of enemy Israeli armed chariots and weapons to take pictures.

The picture shows the Rwanda massacre memorial site, full of heads and skeletons.

In fact, Bian Xiao is not happy and sad to see this. These black tourist attractions are a memorial to the past, a painful history, which makes people think about the history that happened in the past, instead of watching and taking pictures with some banter or entertainment.

Bian Xiao doesn't want to think about others with his own values, but he just hopes that when we see such a place, we will be awed and reflect!
