Dark Tourism in Ireland….?

I am undertaking a thesis on the topic of Dark Tourism, and I hope your answers to
the following short questionnaire will assist me in answering my research questions.
Because of your awareness of the dark tourism industry, I believe that your opinion
will be beneficial to my research.

The aim of my questionnaire is to see if there is any interest in visiting Ireland for its
Dark Tourism attractions.

There are many attempts to bring tourists to the East and Midlands of Ireland where
the tourism industry is slightly struggling – and one potential way of doing this would
be to use dark tourism.

Thank you for taking the time to do this survey.
