    Even in the 1990’s “at least half of all British holidays were still taken in seaside resorts” (John K. Walton, 2000, p.3). In the same book, John K. Walton explains, how resort life, both for residents and visitors, was a highly significant part of lived experience for much of the British population, making an important contribution to British Culture.…

    Dark tourism is a niche in the tourism industry where tourists visit ‘places where tragedies or historically noteworthy death has occurred and that continue to impact people’s lives’ (Tarlow, 2004). Stone (2009) stated that dark tourism has become “seemingly more popular” and Foley and Lennon (1996) wrote that ‘tourism associated with sites of death is registering a rapid growth’. Dark tourism appears therefore to be an important component of the tourist industry which is slightly surprising given the unhappiness and misfortune associated with these sites around the globe. War and memorabilia of warfare is the most common category of dark tourist attractions as found by Smith (1996) in her research on this form of tourism.…

    Dark tourism encourages people to reflect on mortality, bringing them closer to death (Stone, 2010). It is a multitude of history, heritage, tourism and tragedy which plays an important role in delivering information by bringing the past to present (Niemelä, 2010). Since the existence of mankind, the travel to and experiences associated with death is not a new phenomenon and we have been interested and drawn towards sites or attractions associated with misery and death since the time of pilgrimages and before (Stone and Sharpley, 2008, p1; Niemelä, 2010, Robb, 2009). This practice was first labelled and coined “dark tourism” by Lennon and Foley (2003:3 as cited by Robb, 2009, p.1; Stone and Sharpley, 2008). However, there have been many variation of similar terms used to define or label the consumption of death-related tourist activities such as “thanatourism”, “morbid tourism”, “disaster tourism” and “grief tourism” (Stone and Sharpley, 2008; Nimelä, 2010).…

    This Caribbean Tourism Legislation Database is intended primarily as a service to CTO members, although clearly it will also be of assistance to the numerous academic institutions and individual researchers who make use of the Organization’s Documentation Centre. It is meant to serve as a ready and easy-to-use reference source on regional tourism legislation available at CTO Headquarters for consultation. The need to compile such a database arose from CTO’s ongoing work programme activities, notably in the area of product development, and the increasing requests for examples of tourism-related legislative enactments made by member countries in recent times.…

    It is not as easy as it looks to find a concept that you believe in and you think is going to make it easier or more convenient for people to travel. First I was trying too hard, finding something that would do amazing things, something that would be so new. Nothing came to my head, then I thought, why not just try something simple that I would like to have to help me planning my travels or for my friends. I had to stop trying to think something big as the small things are just as important when you are for example planning your trip.…
