Dark tourism in Angola

Dark tourism consists of visiting places linked to death and suffering, such as battlefields, castles, natural disasters and other similar attractions. In this sense, we believe that this form of tourism can be promoted as a "tourist product" in Angola and Benguela province, taking into account the prospect of sustainable tourism, local development and knowledge of recent history and the vicissitudes experienced by the population; a legacy to be passed on to current and future generations. The proposal comes as an alternative to sustainable tourism, open to new business initiatives, aimed at generating jobs and income as an instrument to combat hunger and poverty in local communities that were once the theater of war operations; places that, in our view, are susceptible to being used as a unique tourist product and attracting national tourists and those from other countries.
