Resumen
Dark tourism is made of destinations related in some way to death, suffering and the macabre.
The different attractions and destinations that fit into this segment form sub-segments of it,
such as cemetery tourism, war tourism and disaster tourism, which will be the focus of this
study. Disaster tourism occurs when tourists visit a place where tragedy has occurred, and its
traces and consequences are still visible. Based on the premise that this type of tourism can be
disturbing and apparently does not prioritize leisure, as other tourist segments do, the
objective of the present study is to investigate the interrelationships between cognitive and
affective factors capable of influencing people to visit places where environmental disasters
occurred. In accordance with the study objective, the conceptual model of factors that
influence the intention to revisit a dark destination, proposed by Zhang, et al. (2016) was
adapted to the reality of disaster tourism. The research is defined as hypothetical-deductive,
descriptive-exploratory, with a quantitative approach through the use of IBM SPSS and
AMOS software version 22.0. The results indicate that the dimensions derived from both the
basic conceptual model and those added afterwards from a bibliographic review, are
expressive components of the Cognitive and Positive and Negative Affective Factors. From
the composite structural model, it was noticed that the Intention to Visit disaster destinations
is directly influenced by Positive Affectivity and indirectly by Negative Affectivity and
Cognitive Factors. Thus, it is concluded that the individual's emotional and intrinsic issues are
more relevant in his intention to visit disaster destinations, while rational and negative
emotional issues, discourage this interest.
