Abstract

Battlefield tourism is an increasingly popular form of travel, where visitors seek to connect with history and cultural heritage by exploring locations famous for their battles. Battle tourism is found in different places, specifically, those involved in ancient world battles. Research has shown that battle tourism has a significant impact on local economies as visitors spend money in hotels, restaurants, and shops. It has also proven to be an effective tool for education, allowing visitors to learn about history in an interactive and exciting manner. However, there are also concerns about the impact of battle tourism on historic sites and how cultural sensitivity is managed. Our research discusses battle tourism, including its economic and educational impacts, as well as the challenges and opportunities in managing tourism at these historic sites. In addition, it discusses how battlefield tourism relates to other types of historical tourism and how visitors’ experiences in these places can be enhanced. With these objectives, the main success stories referenced in the academic bibliography have been analyzed from a systematic review conducted using the PRISMA methodology.

战场旅游是一种越来越受欢迎的旅游形式，游客们通过探索以战场闻名的地点，寻求与历史和文化遗产的联系。战争旅游可以在不同的地方找到，特别是那些参与古代世界战争的地方。研究表明，战争旅游对当地经济有重大影响，因为游客会在酒店、餐馆和商店里花钱。它也被证明是一个有效的教育工具，让游客以互动和令人兴奋的方式了解历史。然而，也有人担心战争旅游对历史遗址的影响，以及如何管理文化敏感性。我们的研究讨论了战争旅游，包括其经济和教育影响，以及在这些历史遗址管理旅游业的挑战和机遇。此外，本文还讨论了战场旅游如何与其他类型的历史旅游相联系，以及如何增强游客在这些地方的体验。有了这些目标，在学术参考书目中引用的主要成功案例已经通过使用PRISMA方法进行的系统审查进行了分析。
