Abstract:
Dark tourism is the negation and breakthrough of traditional tourism,and is “an intimation of post-modernity” in tourism.Based on the systematic analysis of overseas literature,this paper gets the research situation of the west literatures.The conclusions include:(1)Travel to death and disaster related site is probably not dark tourism;(2)The relationship between dark tourism and relative conception is ambiguous;(3)The supply perspective research is more than demand perspective;(4)Descriptive qualitative research is more than quantitative research;(5)Western-centric research is more than the rest of the world.This study puts forward the differentiation between narrow and board conception of dark tourism.Hoping it can provide a reference for further theoretical research and practical development in our country.
