The author independently developed on the basis of a deep study of dark tourism the author's definition, on the basis of which further research was based. Shubkina A.N. analyzed a large amount of literature in Chinese and determined the relationship between dark tourism and symbolism in China, as well as the pool of attractions of dark tourism in China. In this regard, a conclusion was made about the popularity of dark tourism among Chinese tourists, which confirmed the relevance of the chosen topic. The author reasonably assessed the possibilities for realizing the potential of dark tourism in St. Petersburg. The possibility of developing dark tourism in St. Petersburg in various directions is investigated: places of military operations; mausoleums; archaeological sites; cultural, religious and architectural objects, places of traffic accidents, prisons; places where natural disasters occurred: earthquakes, floods, typhoons, fires, etc.. Based on the research of the tourism sector of St. Petersburg, including using the method of analogies, as well as the study of the interests of Chinese tourists in social networks, the offer of dark tours was analyzed, a tendency to increase interest in mystical tours and excursions was revealed, which determined the direction of recommendations.
