Tourism refers to the actions of individuals who go to places and remain there for leisure, business, or other reasons for a period of no more than one year. Tourism, as a component of the service industry, has emerged as a significant source of revenue. Tourism in India has grown rapidly during the last decade. Over the years, specialty kinds of tourism have also arisen; one of these niche tourism markets is Dark Tourism. Dark tourism has been defined as travel to locations historically connected with death and misery. People are drawn to dark places for their historical significance rather than their relationship with death and pain. This type of tourism is sometimes known as "Grief Tourism" or "Black Tourism." In this situation, each traveller has a distinct reason for taking the trip; some of the reasons could be remembering the tragedy and its effects, being interested in the human psychology, being nostalgic, wanting to pay tribute to deceased loved ones, and so on. Dark Tourism in India is not widely known, yet there are numerous locations that fall into this category. Bhangarh Fort Rajasthan, Kuldhara Rajasthan, Jallianwala Bagh Amritsar, Dumas Beach Gujarat, Three Kings Church Goa, Skeleton Lake Uttarakhand, Shaniwar Wada Pune, Cellular Jail Andaman and Nicobar Islands, and other sites are well suited for this tourism.
