Dark Tourism in Transylvania

Tourists do not travel only for the ball, most of them participating in Dracula-themed tours where, in addition to places related to Dracula theme, they have the opportunity to admire magnificent landscapes unfolding before their eyes, medieval towns, natural monuments, enjoy local gastronomy and understand the history of the country and places.

From an academic point of view, Dracula tours are part of Dark tourism, a segment of tourism that involves visiting places related to human tragedies, such as visiting the Auschwitz concentration camp, the largest Nazi concentration and extermination camp, located in occupied Poland during World War II, or the sites of powerful explosions, Ground Zero in Hiroshima, Nagasaki, or New York where the World Trade Center twin towers used to be.

Dark Tourism also has a literary side that involves visiting places related to the setting of novels or films, and from this point of view, Transylvania is illustrative of Bram Stoker's novel, Dracula, and many films that were made adapting the novel's action.

Professor Duncan Light, from Bournemouth University, an expert in Dark Tourism and author of the book “Dracula’s Dilemma” says “For many Romanians, Dracula means Vlad Tepes, but for those in the UK, America etc. it means, of course, the vampire Dracula. I agree with those who say that Dracula is a way to attract foreign tourists to Romania, creating an opportunity to show them all the other things the country has to offer in a Dracula tour.
