Tourist motivation visiting dark tourism in indonesia

Penulis : Suresh Kumar, Amelia Saleh

Tourist destinations generally offer natural beauty, cultural culture, entertainment centers (ex. Disneyland, Universal Studios, Dufan, etc.), and the current trend is Dark Tourism. Tourists who hear about an event, such as a natural disaster, which can be seen only through TV or the internet, want to visit the place to see it with their own eyes. Dark tourism is not a new thing because we have known it through
museums for a long time. But the sense of empathy that was not felt before appears now because of the mass media and digital coverage so that there is a strong desire to visit these places.
