Memorial Tourist Resources - Materialized Places of the Collective Memory

Abstract

Memorial tourist resources indicate historical facts and events so that they would not be forgotten and ensure their presentation to the interested parties. They are material sites created by people to serve as evidence of significant events from the past: monuments, memorials, pantheons, tombs, mausoleums, charnel houses, places of death, memorial complexes, battlefields, historical exhibitions, alleys of commemoration, birthplaces, etc. They are important markers in creating tourist routes or they have become symbols of particular tourist destinations.
