I totally disagree! To me it’s a way to pay tribute to the victims and commemorate the past. Also people go there to volunteer and help the victims so it’s not a bad idea.
Literary tourism is great if you’re a movie fan, for example you can visit the old star wars set in the middle of Jordan, you can also go to New Zealand and enjoy the Lord of the Rings scenery, so yeah, to me, it’s the best form of tourism!
