Other dark tourism sites seem to retell history in order to shape visitors’ political opinions. The sites can be used to benefit those who hold power. In Sri Lanka, the national army has opened vacation homes on the site of a civil war battle where thousands of people died. Bloody images hang on the walls of the resort, and some question the appropriateness of the project. Paul Miles of the Telegraph writes that tours of battlefields can help people heal, but that the resort in Sri Lanka unfairly tells the story “from the perspective of the victors.” Ruth Stokes adds that some critics question whether the army is “glorifying the death that took place.”
