Disaster tourism is essentially the act of travelling to a disaster area out of a matter of curiosity, or using a disaster to create profit in the form of organised tours and treks. In some circumstances it can have a positive impact but there is an even more stygian side to this aspect of dark tourism that comes with every natural disaster and ventures beyond mere voyeurism. It is this side of disaster tourism which can actually do more harm than good. The key is knowing the difference.
