| Abstract: | My research explores the appeal of dark tourism within the Maltese islands. It identifies reasons why tourists may want to visit ‘dark’ sites to hear stories relating to crime, sex, murder and tragedies. Also, the study defines local resources for dark history walks and identifies sites within the Maltese islands that can support dark tourism. The study was conducted through qualitative research and the data was collected by examining books and journals. Further research was gathered through three interviews with people associated with various aspects of dark tourism in Malta. |
