20.500.12556/DKUM-86767 Inclusion of dark heritage in the contemporary tourist offer of the city of Maribor Dark tourism is a form of tourism based on visiting places with a connection to death, violence, suffering, or natural disasters. Human fascination with death is not new, it has been present and observable since ancient times. Nowadays, numerous products of the entertainment industry rely on the theme of death as a driving force of humanity. In terms of modern dark tourism, we discuss a wide spectrum of motives behind this, which primarily come from a desire to encounter death, either staged or from a personal standpoint. In this research, we analysed how dark tourism developed through time and across the world, its role in the tourism offers of Slovenia, and what is the perception of dark tourism in the city of Maribor. Our focus is on several gruesome events that took place over the centuries of Maribor's rich history. In this case study, we analyse the stories based on these events, evaluate the spectrum of dark heritage according to theoretical models and suggest the development of new tourism products. dark tourism war death witches cemeteries paranormal killings battles Maribor temni turizem okultizem vojne smrt čarovnice pokopališča paranormalni pojavi uboji bitke Maribor true false true Univerza v Mariboru, Univerzitetna založba Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Znanstveno delo 2024-01-17 11:27:14 2024-01-17 11:33:50 2024-01-18 03:47:31 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2022 0 0 Str. 177-202 2022 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2022-10-28 338.48:133(497.4Maribor) 125540099 127894019 Contemporary_issues_in_tourism_2022.pdf Contemporary_issues_in_tourism_2022.pdf 1 8BE93A73042DE7C238BA2AF3CBFE3CB3 a0c5a9b48f776c4bd706cb796fb39fcb26fe5d171a066ad1e418e814198a3cba ade72e15-b523-11ee-aaf4-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=175358 https://press.um.si/index.php/ump/catalog/book/722 1 00f377ef-b523-11ee-aaf4-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=175355 Fakulteta za turizem Univerzitetna založba Univerze v Mariboru Contemporary Issues in Tourism 0 0 0
