Dearly Departed Tours in Los Angeles specialise in grief tourism, mainly to do with dead celebrities. You can find them at http://www.findadeath.com.

I also know there’s a novel coming out in Australia in September 09 called Hollywood Ending which is about two teenagers obsessed with dark tourism. The author’s name is Kathy Charles and she blogs about dark tourism too at http://www.kathycharles.com.

I think that a part of Dark tourism can also considered the livresque Dark tourism (people who want to visit areas related to novels, movies containing Vampires, Dracula, monsters). I am thinking of Loch Ness Lake visited for the monster, or Transylvania visited by tourists for Dracula or Vampires myths.

interesting! I’m a french student and i’m surprised to observe how this subject is developped in the anglo-saxon world; In France there isn’t such researches and it’s a big “fight” to find some books on what you call dark tourism. The only place where researches are starting i think is in Quebec . We have to do something!!!If you have some books names to give me it could be great for my works for university

Hi. Just wanted to say how much your article has helped me get a better grip on some of the issues surrounding Dark Tourism. Im a student currently looking into this subject- however so far i’ve found very little on the motivations towards dark tourism. Im wondering if you can help… You certainly seem to know your stuff!
