The term dark tourism is fairly new and becoming very popular among South Baltic countries. Most of the “dark tourism” sites are in nature or in cultural heritage buildings.
The overall project objective is to find innovative solutions in dark tourism, a form of tourism connected to places historically associated with tragedies, to tackle the seasonality of tourism in the South Baltic area. During the implementation of the seed money project, the project planned to create an interactive map with dark tourism sites, objects, museums, and other places across the region. Even more innovative in this approach to dark tourism is the idea to renovate the sites using new technologies, such as virtual realities, that could allow more people, including people with disabilities, would be able to visit and enjoy those sites.
