Slum tourism—which may also be known as poorism, misery tourism, poverty tourism, reality tourism, or adventure tourism—is a controversial practice in which tourists deliberately visit poor neighborhoods, often known as slums. Tourists may have many underlying reasons for electing to make such trips; curiosity or self-reflection are most often cited as motivating factors for taking slum tours. By visiting these areas, it allows tourists to be exposed to places off the beaten path while allowing them to contrast the lives of the underprivileged with their own lives. While positive outcomes, including job growth and economic assistance, may arise from slum tourism, some critics argue such practices are voyeuristic and exploitive in nature and promote negative images of the poor.
