Acceptance of Dark Tourism of Local Tourists

Abstract

Dark tourism is a very new type of tourism having only been established in the 1990s. It is a complicated phenomenon. Research conducted in developed nations can be defined as a study of history, legacy, tourism, and tragedies. In the present era, dark tourism is receiving less attention due to the lack of awareness and promotions to local tourists. So, this research intends to examine the relationship of dark tourism towards local tourist knowledge, perception, and economic terms to the acceptance of local tourists. The method that is used in this study is a quantitative method through survey forms, questionnaires, and Google Forms to allow 367 respondents to answer related questions.
