From the Alcatraz East Crime Museum and Jack the Ripper guided tours to the Phnom Penh killing fields, ‘dark tourism’ is now a multi-million-pound global industry. What is the attraction and where is the line between acceptable and problematic dark tourism drawn?

In this episode, Becky Taylor speaks with Adam Lynes, Craig Kelly and James Treadwell, editors of '50 Dark Destinations' about what dark tourism is, why we're drawn to such macabre forms of tourism and the unique aspects the internet has brought to the industry.
