- Dark Heritage Tourism in the Iberian Peninsula, edited by Sara Cerqueira Pascoal, Laura Tallone and Marco FurtadoPublication . Corral, PhD Óscar NavajasThe most visceral and common questions that arise when considering reflections on dark tourism are usually aimed at: what are the motivations that lead human beings to spend leisure time visiting destinations where pain and death are the protagonists, what are the destinations and heritage assets that can be classified within this type of tourism, and where are the ethical and moral limits to the commercialisation of trauma, grief and tragedy. These are some common questions that appear in some chapters, such as the one by Sílvia Quinteiro, María José Marques and Marco Sousa Santos, but they may in fact be extrapolated to the entire publication. However, the most interesting thing is not that these questions are raised, but whether or not they are answered. In the specialised literature only approximations can be found, but in the monograph we are reviewing we will find answers, albeit in a territorial key, that is to say, for the context of the Iberian Peninsula. In the following lines we will present some of these answers in the form of conclusions.
