One of the most famous dark tourism destinations is in New York. Since the terrorist attack of Sep- tember 11, 2001, numerous monuments, museums, etc. have been built. Countless tourists visit these places when they are in the city. Many times, people don't even realize it, but even this is a destination that fits the definition of dark tourism. Once the determinants of this dark tourism destination have been identified, some proposals will be made to help increase tourism, but in this case it would be the value or meaning that this destina- tion has that many do not know. Proposal:  Spreading a cultural New York.  Showing the symbolic value of this monument.  Showing that the monument is a tribute to many victims and that it is full of very sensitive gestures so that they understand the emotional climate of the people.  Adequate and updated information of the history it has.  Hear personal stories from New Yorkers related to September 11. 26
