More Variety In Tourism
I was mentioning last month about a new concept called divorce tourism and asked the readers about more less know initiatives in tourism. oktatabyebye member Ashwini MK mentioned about Babymooning.

I came across a few more innovative concepts and new initatives in the recent past. Disaster Tourism or Holocaust Tourism is not a new thing, as it is well known in places like Germany and Cambodia. Now it may be coming to India too. The government of Madhya Pradesh intends to convert Union Carbide factory, where the disaster struck in 1984, into a tourist place.
