Dark Tourism and Its Potential in the Liberec Region
Original language description
The paper is focused on the research of the places of dark tourism in the Liberec Region through the lens of the geography of tourism. The region has a complicated history connected with many wars, population transfers and acts of ethnic cleansing. Dark tourism is quite a new concept in the academic as well as tourist management environment in Czechia and it is still perceived as something weird and economically insignificant. The paper presents the basic theoretical framework of dark tourism and brings innovative typologies of dark tourism and its potential. There are two places of ongoing dark tourism in the Liberec Region, Houska Castle and the Breached Dam in the Jizera Mountains which are examined in detail. Moreover, the author identifies o places with dark tourism potential via analysis of the turbulent history of the region and field research focused on the identification and localization of those places. The text is amended by the map and tabular additions.
