A body of work that deserves special attention in the context of dark tourism is critical memory studies. There are several studies in dark tourism that have addressed how memory comes to be expressed and known, but critical memory studies go a step further in opening up a wide spectrum of new approaches to memory in culture besides addressing issues of relevance such as race and trauma. I couldn't have been more proud to include this wonderful chapter in our forthcoming book "Critical Theories in Dark Tourism: Issues, Complexities and Future Directions”

The Art of Hospitality In the "New Tourism" ethos, hospitality is more than just a service; it is painted as an art form – a profound symbol of welcome and respect. Engaging in practices that celebrate heritage, respecting age-old customs, and involving oneself in local living reinjects authenticity into the hospitality industry. It breaks down barriers and fosters a union between cultures that is more than superficial. #Hospitality #NewTourism #CulturalExchange #AuthenticExperiences
