The proposed contribution is an exploratory and cognitive cross-section of selected problems of dark tourism. It summarizes limitations of dark tourism and its subtypes, especially, thanatourism and cemetery tourism. All these terms have a historical origin that dates back to ancient times. At the end of the 20th century the cult of death got into pop culture. By us published motives and destinations of dark tourism show that: 1. dark tourism is a part of cultural tourism, 2. several forms of dark tourism can have deviation motives and those we reject to include into the ethic and moral of defined forms and types of tourism, 3. contribution is the starting point for future research projects of dark tourism in our country, due to the fact that it defines its motives, as well,as geographical representation in Slovakia, 4. contribution locates the potential of cemetery tourism in Eastern Slovakia, in particular military memorials and military cemeteries of World War I and II.(original abstract)
