Gallipoli thanatourism, The Meaning of ANZAC

Abstract
Thanatourism can be defined according to the motivations of those who engage in it. People who visit the sites of death are often motivated by curiosity over the deaths themselves. There are however, cases where such curiosity is not about death; and those who seek the experience cannot be considered as thanatourists. This paper argues for a tightening of the thanatourism definition by excluding people motivated to visit death sites for other reasons. This is illustrated by the example of thousands of Australians and New Zealanders who visit Gallipoli every year.
