Dark tourism

:baba_nara: Discussion :baba_nara:

So i just read an article about Dark Tourism and Syria is top destination. It’s extremely sad and concerning that “Tourists ”are going to visit Sydnaia while it still a place of investing families still waiting for news about their loved once. Here part of the article . “Among those guides is Rita Badran, a dentistry student, who advertises her services to more than 25,000 followers on Instagram. A private tour of Syria costs $130 per person; to visit Saidnaya, she charges a $100 “permit fee” (she knows some of the guards). She has taken visitors—who are mainly from America and Europe—to see the aircraft that the Assad regime used to drop barrel bombs on civilians, and to explore the tunnels dug under Damascus by rebels. “There are hundreds or thousands of people still buried here that they couldn’t retrieve,” she says, walking through the blasted landscape.”
