Red tourism (Chinese: 红色旅游; pinyin: Hóngsè lǚyóu, Russian: Красный туризм)[1] is tourism at locations significant to communism. It is a subset of domestic and international tourism in current or former communist countries such as China and Russia, in which people visit locations with historical significance to their "red" (communist) past.[2][3]

In China, Chinese people visit locations with historical significance to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) "to rekindle their long-lost sense of class struggle and proletarian principles."[4]
