• Resumen

  • "Thanatourism" refers to the management and organization of activities by people who visit death sites. This concept, however, does not sufficiently explain the management and organization of activities for people who want to see and feel the history of victories and epics won by their ancestors to secure the future for coming generations. This study introduces a new approach that includes people motivated to visit death sites for epic-focused tourism by analyzing the hundreds of thousands of Turks who visit Gallipoli every year.
