An example is the military campaign in Cu Chi Tunnels, Vietnam. Tunnels were dug and used in the 1960s and 1970s by the Vietcong to hide from American forces who supported South Vietnam. The Vietcong was a Communist guerilla group in what was then known as South Vietnam. Tourists (How many?) are able to go on a tour in Cu Chi Tunnels.
(Where is the dark tourism element here? the tragedy is not clear)
