As the death toll in Wayanad district crosses 300 and rescuers race against time to find hundreds of missing people after landslides damaged homes and villages in Kerala, the state police have issued a warning to tourists engaging in “dark tourism.” The phrase denotes visits to places which are associated with tragedy, violence, death or unusual events. It includes sites like disaster areas, crime scenes, battlefields, memorials, prisons, execution sites, cemeteries, mausoleums, haunted houses and places of paranormal activity.
