War Tourist: A war tourist is typically a middle-aged, middle- or upper-class male from the West a individual who, in a modern-day midlife crisis, seeks excitement beyond ordinary holiday experiences. They venture into conflict zones and war-torn countries for the thrill and unique experiences, often relishing the danger. Sometimes, they even attempt to join local military efforts. This new form of tourism can lead to significant consequences, including legal repercussions, accusations of terrorism, and the risk of being kidnapped, tortured, or even dying. They may return home with souvenirs such as bullets, shrapnel, or even human remains. War tourists prefer these intense experiences over typical holidays and often proudly share their stories and souvenirs.
