BORDER TOURISM SUBTYPE OF DARK TOURISM
Abstract
Border tourism is the form of tourism focused on the Iron Curtain as a resource and implicitly, on the former Berlin Wall, differing from bordered tourism in which gambling and shopping activities are practiced. The phrase border tourism also refers to Iron Curtain Tourism, an inclusion made to expand the range of sites that, for one reason or another, are centered on a border and can be included in this type of tourism. Border tourism can be considered a sub-type of dark tourism because it is practiced in sites where people have died, who tried to cross this barrier being a form of sinister tourism, genocide, genealogical tourism and cultural tourism historical educational and recreational. Border tourism in the form of day trips has been a considerable phenomenon, although the number of visitors cannot be determined precisely, today they are carried out in combination with other forms of tourism to diversify activities.
