Resumo: Dark tourism is a form of niche tourism that is undergoing increasingly rapid development. The literature identifies the cemetery as a site for dark tourism, through its association with the ideas of death and mourning; these can cause unpleasant feelings for tourists, which is a fundamental characteristic of the ‘dark tourism’ concept. The objective of this paper is to analyse the relationship between the motivations, experiences, and benefits of visiting the Recoleta cemetery in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The study is characterised as exploratory, descriptive, and has used the quantitative approach. A total of 450 respondents claimed to have visited the Recoleta cemetery. The authors tested and validated five factors through exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, including social and learning motivations, reflexive and empathetic experiences, and benefits. The result provides theoretical evidence that motivations to visit the Recoleta cemetery are related to knowledge seeking, leisure, and social activities with family and friends. The experiences obtained during the visit include the eliciting of a sense of escapism, through relaxation and peace. The study offers evidence that visiting the cemetery can provide moments of contemplation, and promote reflection about life. In addition, this study identifies practical modifications that can assist in decision-making processes.

La literatura definió al cementerio como dark tourism ya que sugiere la idea de la muerte y el duelo, que puede provocar sentimientos desagradables en los turistas, convirtiéndose en una característica fundamental de este concepto. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la relación entre las motivaciones, vivencias y beneficios de visitar el cementerio de la Recoleta en Buenos Aires, Argentina. El estudio se caracteriza por ser exploratorio, descriptivo y utilizó el enfoque cuantitativo. Un total de 450 encuestados afirmaron haber visitado el cementerio de la Recoleta. Los autores probaron y validaron cinco factores a través de un análisis factorial exploratorio y confirmatorio, incluidas las motivaciones sociales y de aprendizaje, las experiencias reflexivas y empáticas y los beneficios. El resultado proporciona evidencia teórica de que las motivaciones están relacionadas con la búsqueda de conocimiento, el ocio y las actividades sociales con familiares y amigos. Las experiencias obtenidas durante la visita están relacionadas con el sentimiento escapista a través de la relajación y la paz. El estudio ofrece evidencia de que visitar el cementerio puede ser un momento contemplativo, que promueve la reflexión sobre la vida. Por otro lado, las contribuciones prácticas pueden ayudar en los procesos de toma de decisiones.O dark tourism é uma forma de turismo de nicho com desenvolvimento cada vez mais rápido.
