Specific forms of tourism represent a special group of tourist movements that are conditioned by a certain, dominant tourist motive that drives a tourist consumer to travel to a destination whose tourist offer is adapted to the realization of experiences with the dominant interest of that consumer. Dark tourism is a tourism trend in which people instead of sympathetic and cordial destinations visit places associated with death, fear and suffering such as war monuments, natural disasters and similar other places. In short, dark tourist destinations are reminiscent of death. They have historical significance and it is important to understand the steps that have led to today’s world. Since the middle of the 20th century, after a significant growth of tourism in general, the demand and supply of this special form of tourism has increased dramatically in size and scope, and dark tourism has become common, diverse, specially built and sought after "tourist goods". Managing attractions in dark tourism must be careful and focused on a realistic view of history and each event. Croatia, as one of the recognizable Mediterranean countries, is very dependent on tourism, where one of the most important problems is that continental Croatia (with the exception of the City of Zagreb) is not so recognizable for its tourist offer. It is history that has bequeathed castles, villas, but also camps, and places where dictators sat, political and regime prisoners died. All these are places where visits are still a matter of individual organization of interested guests, and not some higher level, as it should be, and which with a responsible approach and maximum respect for the victims, could be included as historical heritage and Croatian tourist offer.
