battlefield tourism
Visiting combat sites
Battlefield tourism is travel to sites of historical military conflict—Gettysburg, Normandy, Gallipoli.
Visitors come for education, commemoration, or personal connection to ancestors who fought there.
The practice overlaps with dark tourism, though battlefield sites often emphasize heroism and sacrifice rather than death itself: We spent three days on a battlefield tourism trip through northern France.
