ATOMIC TOURISM SUBTYPE OF DARK TOURISM
Abstract
Atomic or nuclear tourism is a subtype of dark tourism, being seen as a form of tourism in which the nuclear tourist visits sites related to war or nuclear disasters. Promotional documents show that this form of tourism, a subtype of dark tourism, is becoming increasingly popular, although traveling and visiting these sites is not cheap, as they are located in isolated areas. The economic benefits obtained from this tourist activity, by tourism operators, play an important role in promoting this type of tourism, but it is necessary to find solutions for these uninhabitable locations, which have become unprofitable after disasters or stopping tests with nuclear weapons. From a strictly tourist point of view, the list of atomic/nuclear tourist objectives is long and among the most diverse, generating as many representative subtypes of atomic tourism, related to atomic events that took place in these places that have become international tourist destinations.
