Morbid Tourism

Tourist attractions focusing on accidents and sudden violent death are being produced and consumed in ever growing numbers. Example of Morbid tourism attractions are Elvis Presley’s grave in Graceland, Jim Morrison’s in Paris and Princess Diana’s at Althorp in England. Battlefields, places where accidents have occurred and ghost walks in old castles are other examples of a kind of attraction which draws tourists and which can be included under the heading of morbid tourism. The designation was established by Professor Thomas Blom, Karlstad University, Sweden in the mid-1990s.
