The practice of visiting locations connected to death, calamity, and human suffering—known as ""dark tourism""—has become a fascinating but contentious area of research. Bringing together top academics and specialists from across the globe, The Emerald Handbook of International Dark Tourism provides a thorough and multidisciplinary investigation of this phenomena. This handbook offers new perspectives on the changing role of dark tourism in modern society, drawing on contributions from a variety of academic fields, such as sociology, history, tourist studies, heritage, psychology, religious studies and cultural geography. Chapters address issues like black magic, impact of dark tourism on mental health, dark events, ethical dimensions, technology advancements for dark tourism, commodification of tragedy and many more; that is vital tool for academics, decision-makers, and business professionals. The Emerald Handbook of International Dark Tourism is a vital resource for understanding the shades of how and why people visit places of death, grief, war and disaster and what this reveals about society's relationship with history, memory and ethics by striking a balance between academic rigour and practical relevance.
