Abstract Mračni turizam ima dugu povijest koja seže u srednji vijek te je dobio na snazi posebice tokom perioda romantizma krajem 18. i početkom 19 stoljeća. Unatoč dugoj povijesti i porastu suvremenih dokaza o putovanju na lokacije ili atrakcije povezane sa smrću tek nedavno se pojavio akademski interes prema takozvanom mračnom turizmu, a generalnim porastom turizma u svijetu i mračni turizam se proširio i diverzificirao. Za pretpostaviti je da svi koji posjećuju mračne atrakcije ne očekuju i mračni doživljaj. Nekima mogu biti nepoznate specifične karakteristike atrakcije ili na takvim mjestima ostvaruju drugu vrstu doživljaja. Kod mračnog turizma nije riječ o standardnim atrakcijama i sadržaju turističkog putovanja s obzirom da je glavna odrednica morbidnost i bizarnost jer turiste fokusira na nesreću, patnju i smrt što je suprotno doživljavanju putovanja kao izvora razonode, ugodnih emocija, bezbrižnog raspoloženja i uživanja odnosno životne radosti. Atrakcijska osnova mračnog turizma postoji u više spektara gdje najmračniji spektar predstavlja mjesta smrti i patnje, ima povijesnu vrijednost, edukativnog je sadržaja, ponuda je bez namjere, a turistička infrastruktura je slabije razvijena. Černobilska zona isključenja uključuje turistički najposjećenije gradove Černobil i Pripjat te oko 180 evakuiranih sela. Prvi turisti koji su posjetili Černobil posjetili su ga sredinom 1990-ih nakon što je razina radijacije značajno pala. U početku su posjeti Zoni bili osobito popularni među turistima iz Sjedinjenih Američkih Država i zapadnoeuropskih zemalja. Turistička putovanja su motivirana empatijom prema masovnim žrtvama Černobila te je Zona isključenja danas jedno od najintrigantnijih mjesta na kojima se dogodila industrijska katastrofa.
Abstract (english) Dark tourism has a long history witch starts in middle ages and has especially gain strength during period of romaticism at the end of 18. and begining of 19. century. In spite of long history and rise of academic proof of travel to locations and attractions related to death it is just recently that academic interest towards so called dark tourism appeard and with general rise of tourism in the world dark tourism too has expanded and diversified. It is to assume that everyone who are visiting dark attractions do not also expect to experience dark event. To some it may be that specific characteristics of atractions are unknow or they experience different kind of emotion on that places. Dark tourism is not about standard attractions and content of tourism travel considering that it's main points are morbidity and bizarreness because it focuses tourists on misfortune, suffering and death which is opposite to experiencing travel as source of entertainment, pleasant emotions, careless mood and delight that is joy of life. Attraction base on dark tourism exists in more that one spectrum where the darkest represents places of death and suffering, has historical value, is educational, offer has no intent and touristic infrastructure is poorly developed. Chernobyl exclusion zone includes Chernobyl and Pripyat as touristic most visited cities and about 180 evacuated villages. First tourists visited Chernobyl in middle 1990ies after radiation level decreased significantly. At the beginning visits to the Zone were extremely popular around tourists from Unites States of America and westeuropean countries. Tourism travels are motivated through empathy to mass victims of Chernobyl, so Exclusion zone today remains as one of the most intriguing places where industrial disaster occured.
