“…Other destinations that are visited by tourists for the purpose of gaining experiences are the Pacific War area (Cooper, 2006, Cooper, 2007, places where the Vietnam War took place (Henderson, 2000;Willis, 2014), locations that featured during WWI such as the Trentino region of Italy (Irimias, 2014), the Somme and Ypres regions in France and Belgium, respectively (http://www.battlefields-tours.com/, 2015) and the Gallipoli Peninsula where the Dardanelles Campaign took place (Scates, 2002;Slade, 2003;Aliağaoğlu, 2008;Hyde and Harman, 2011;Hall et al, 2010;Ozer et al, 2012). These constitute examples of battlefield tourism that are significant at the international level.…”

“…Since the battle, the 25 th of April has been commemorated as Anzac Day, as it was the day when Anzac troops arrived in the Gallipoli Peninsula; commemoration ceremonies are held for citizens of Australia and New Zealand on that day (Graham, 2008;Hede and Hall, 2006;Wheatley and James, 2014). This date and this place are psychologically important for Australians and New Zealanders as it is considered to be the time and place when their respective nations were born (Donoghue and Tranter, 2015;Ozer, Ersoy and Tuzunkan, 2012;Slade, 2003). Similarly, the victory won in this war is accepted as the starting point of the Republic of Turkey's process of becoming a nation state in the modern sense; consequently, great importance is attributed to this battle (McKenna and Ward, 2007), visits are made by local tourists, and commemoration ceremonies are held every year on the 18 th of March.…”

The present study strives to understand the travel motivations and experiences of both domestic and international travellers visiting the Gallipoli Peninsula. Qualitative research methodology was utilized for this study, with a case study approach employed for the qualitative research design. Data were gathered using face-to-face interviews (n=44), participant observation and document analysis, and an inductive content analysis was then used to analyse the data. The research findings revealed that travellers visiting the site have different motivations and experiences, as well as some commonalities. The findings also indicate that those visiting the site have different travel motivations and experiences, as well as commonalities. Their travel motivations form a heterogeneous pattern, including push and pull motivational factors, while experiences can be grouped into psychological and sociocultural categories; these are useful contributions to the existing literature in the field. As a consequence, the results of this study are unique as they show that battlefield sites within the scope of the dark tourism phenomenon may offer visitors memorable tourism experiences and socio-cultural experiences.

“…Descendants pay their respects through the wearing of a deceased family member’s services medals at dawn services. Travel to Gallipoli by young Australians and New Zealanders, especially to be present at the services at Anzac Cove on 25th April, is almost regarded as a rite of passage for the young (Ozer et al , 2012; Scates, 2006).…”

Purpose The aim of this paper is to demonstrate how a historical event packaged as an iconic heritage cultural brand can be marketized and modified over time to ensure brand longevity and continued emotional commitment and loyalty through the leverage of stories and associations more closely aligned with modern-day audiences. The authors do this through examining the marketization of the New Zealand World War 1 (WWI) nurse to today’s audiences. The periods of study are WWI (1914–1918) and then the modern day. The New Zealand Army Nursing Service (NZANS) during WWI has previously had little attention as a key actor in the Australia and New Zealand Army Corp (ANZAC), Today ANZAC is held as pivotal in the birth of New Zealand’s perception of nationhood and as an iconic heritage cultural brand. The history and legend of the ANZAC plays an important role in New Zealand culture and is fundamental to the “Anzac Spirit”, a signifier of what it means to be a New Zealander. Design/methodology/approach A historical case study method is used. The primary source of data is 1914–1918, and includes contemporaneous articles, and personal writings: diaries, letters and published memoirs. More contemporary works form the basis for discussion of marketization as it relates to the NZANS. The article first presents conceptual framing, then the development of the Anzac brand and the history of the NZANS and its role in WWI before turning to discussion on the marketization of this nursing service to today’s audiences and as part of the ANZAC/Anzac brand. Findings Today the story of the WWI NZANS nurse, previously seldom heard, has been co-opted and is becoming increasingly merged as an integral part of the Anzac story. The history of the NZANS during WWI has a great deal of agency today as part of that story, serving many functions within it and providing a valuable lever for marketization. Originality/value To date, there is a scarcity of marketing analysis that examines the marketization of history. By focusing on New Zealand WWI nursing as a contributor to the Anzac story, the authors contribute to the understanding of how marketers package and contemporize history for appeal to audiences through both sustaining and reworking cultural branding.

“…Many of these authentic sites have distinct conservational, educational and commemorative meaning, which must engender a degree of empathy between the visitor and the (past) victim (Henderson 2000, Hertzog, 2012Kidron, 2013;Miles, 2002;Robb, 2009). Minić (2012), Seaton & Lennon (2004), Wight & Lennon (2007), Walter (2009), Biran et al (2011, Lee, Bendle, Yoon & Kim (2012), Ozer, Ersoy, and Tuzunkan (2012) and Stone (2012), in this sense, argue that dark tourism is only the culture's subtype and part of heritage or its special form of expression.…”

This article explores only a variation of tourism -warfare tourismin Croatia, which is a recognised tourist destination. The main objective of this multidisciplinary research is to clarify and classify young residents (undergraduate students) of Croatia into different clusters based on their views of the potential for warfare tourism development in the country. A total of 292 completed questionnaires were recorded and prepared for empirical analyses. Ward's principal component score method, independent sample test and descriptive analysis were employed in this study. We found that two clusters of youths could be identified -believers and doubters, the latter representing the majority. The difference between clusters, in fact, is not so big: however, believers, contrary to doubters, do recognise warfare tourism opportunities for the development of war-affected areas in Croatia, opportunities that first need to be conceptualised on the strategic level (country/county/city/municipality).
