Necrotourism?
This from the BBC is just plain weird:
City authorities are on Thursday due to sign a deal with a Japanese company to develop the site's tourist potential.
Around 17,000 people are buried there in mass graves. The skulls of around half are displayed behind glass panels on a Buddhist stupa at the site.
Tourist buses regularly bump down the dirt track to the memorial.
Couldn't they at least call them "pilgrims" or something? There's got to be a more appropriate way of dealing with the artifacts of genocide.
