This is 6 Minute English from bbclearningenglish.com Welcome to 6 Minute English.
2
I'm Rob.
3
And I'm Neil.
4
Hello.
5
Today we're talking about an unusual type of tourism.
6
Now, tourism is the business of providing services such as transport, or places to stay, or entertainment for people who are on holiday.
7
But instead of providing sunny holidays in a nice hotel by the sea, this is where tourists travel to sites of death, brutality and terror.
8
It's being called dark tourism.
9
Now, Rob, have you ever been to any dark tourist destination or place?
10
Yes, I visited Auschwitz in Poland.
11
A fascinating trip, but an obviously depressing place.
12
And next month I'm planning to go to visit Chernobyl, the site of a catastrophic nuclear accident back in 1986.
13
So these are not your typical sightseeing trips, but a visit to places that make you curious because of their significance significance, their importance in history.
14
Exactly.
15
We'll talk more about this soon, but not before I set you today's question.
16
Now, Robyn Island in South Africa is one dark tourism destination.
17
It's where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for 18 years.
18
But do you know in which year it finally closed as a prison?
19
Was it in A 1991, B 1996 or C 1999?
20
I don't know but I am going to guess A 1991
21
because I think he was released in 89 and surely they would have shut it down pretty quickly after that.
22
Well, I like your thinking.
23
I'll reveal the answer later on.
24
So let's talk more about dark tourism.
25
The word dark is used here because it relates to places that are connected with bad or sinister things, or things that could be considered morally wrong.
26
It's strange to want to visit places like these.
27
There is what we call a morbid fascination.
28
It's showing an interest in things connected with death and destruction, and these kinds of trips are on the increase.
29
Yes, there are organised tours to places like Ground Zero in New York, the killing fields in Cambodia and the nuclear power station in Chernobyl.
30
And there are the battlefields of World War I and II and the top security prison of Alcatraz.
31
There are also plans to turn the disaster site of the
32
Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Japan into a tourist destination once the radiation is reduced.
33
But why do people want to visit these macabre sites?
34
Well, I mentioned curiosity and a chance to learn about history, but sometimes people just feel compelled to visit them.
35
But what about the ethics of dark tourism?
36
Is it wrong to make this trip?
37
Are we not just exploiting or making money or cashing in on someone suffering?
38
Dr Philip Stone is an expert in the subject.
39
He's director of the Institute for Dark Tourism Research.
40
He says this type of tourism isn't new.
41
People have been visiting these types of places for years.
42
He says it's always been there.
43
It's not new in the sense that we are fascinated by other death and the people's suffering,
44
but it's how it's packaged up by the tourist industry.
45
So, he says, dark tourism isn't new.
46
In fact, a medieval execution was an early form of dark tourism.
47
Maybe it's just human nature that draws us to these places.
48
Dr Stone says it's all about how these dark trips are packaged.
49
So it depends how they're sold and how tasteful they are.
50
Are they sensitive to the horrors of what has taken place?
51
Yes, being able to walk around a historic site or visit a museum is one thing,
52
but how about staying in a former prison in Latvia and paying to be treated like a prisoner?
53
Or how about crawling around Vietnamese war tunnels whilst people fire guns outside?
54
Hmm, maybe that's taking the experience too far.
55
Dr Stone says there's a blurred line between memorialisation and tourism.
56
He means it's hard to separate going to remember an event and the people who've died
57
with visiting somewhere as part of a holiday.
58
Another issue when visiting these places is how you remember your visit you must be respectful.
59
Perhaps taking photos, yes, but should you take a selfie?
60
And should you buy a souvenir or send a postcard home?
61
Yes, well you certainly wouldn't write on your postcard, wish you were here.
62
Anyway, let's now reveal the answer to the question I set you earlier.
63
Yes, this was about the former prison on Robben Island, which is now a popular destination for dark tourism.
64
I asked you when it finally closed as a prison.
65
Was it in A 1991, B 1996 or C 1999?
66
And I said A 1991.
67
you were wrong actually.
68
It was in 1996.
69
About 350,000 people now visit the site every year, which shows how much interest there is in a place that you would have once never wanted to go near.
70
Is it somewhere you would like to visit, Neil?
71
Err, I'm not so sure about dark tourism, to be honest.
72
OK.
73
Well, could you instead remind us of the vocabulary that we've heard today?
74
Yes, we heard...
75
...tourism, depressing, catastrophic, curious, morally wrong,
76
morbid fascination, macabre, compelled, ethics,
77
exploiting, human nature, tasteful, memorialisation, Respectful.
78
Thanks, Neil.
79
Well, we hope you've enjoyed today's programme.

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?
שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
