Embracing 'virtual dark tourism' could help heritage sites at risk of degradation – expert explains

Retrieved on: 
Tuesday, January 16, 2024

Dark tourism allows people to understand tragic events, and potentially experience a catharsis of emotions related to the deaths at a site or even help people respond to collective trauma.

Key Points: 
  • Dark tourism allows people to understand tragic events, and potentially experience a catharsis of emotions related to the deaths at a site or even help people respond to collective trauma.
  • Commonly known heritage sites include the Unesco world heritage sites – and many nations have their own lists of heritage sites such as archaeological ruins, cathedrals or monasteries and national parks.
  • Dark tourism is considered a subset of heritage tourism, because many dark tourism sites are also heritage sites.
  • My paper argues that using the interest in virtual dark tourism could be one way for these heritage sites to mitigate some of these challenges.

Why take virtual dark tours?

  • Therein lies the appeal of a virtual dark tourism experience on YouTube.
  • This genre has expanded to a network of at five to six paranormal investigation teams who are collaborating and producing similar virtual dark tours at a variety of locations across the globe.
  • As the audience for this virtual dark tourism content continues to grow, heritage sites at risk may benefit from developing narrative-focused virtual tours or by partnering with influential YouTubers.
