Dark visitor attractions

Abstract

Dark visitor attractions are the physical manifestations of dark tourism. Although comprising a range of built, natural and cultural places, this paper emphasises their identification and classification. Addressing the need for balance between content delivery and commercial activities, this paper explores interpretation as both a means for classification and a challenge for operational management. It also presents an overview of the different interpretation approaches in order to demonstrate how DVAs differ by reasons of interpretation, regardless of their inherent characteristics. Finally, this paper emphasises the importance of creating engaging experiences through the acceptance and adoption of technological innovations.
