“…Furthermore, in their initial research, Foley and Lennon (1996), as well as Seaton (1996) described the concept of dark tourism as travel encounters with death.

However, authors, such as Dunkley et al (2007Dunkley et al ( , 2011 and Sun and Lv (2021), summarized the main terms used in the available literature and they indicated that the concept of 'dark tourism' is represented in a majority of such research, considering the fact that it clearly implies the sense of 'darkness' in this unique selective type of tourism, throughout visiting the sites related with death, various types of disaster and human sufferings (Iliev, 2020;Light, 2017).…”

“…In this context, sites of Gothic tourism (and indeed other forms of tourism) create the possibility for moments of communitas: strong but short-lived bonds between strangers who are sharing the same experience (Turner, 1969).

More broadly, it is clear that tourism experiences based on thrills and scares are increasingly popular and commonplace (Hoedt, 2009;Bristow, 2020). However, McEvoy's conceptualisation of Gothic tourism raises a number of questions, both about how such tourism is defined, and the ways in which it differs from other forms of tourism.…”
