Sharpley & Stone (2009) suggest an alternative concept of states disapproving of their own heritage, the consequences of which can be related back to that of Foote’s (1997) model of Dark tourist Attractions.  Though some states such as Cambodia promote the visitation to sites associated with the Genocide, others are willing to disregard history and as a result, disregard responsibility.

Tuol Sleng Prison, Cambodia, is one of the most recognised tourist sites associated to the Cambodian Genocide. A Prison and place of torture, the artefacts found on display are genuine and in the exact condition from when they were left (Sharpley & Stone, 2009). However, Williams (2007) states that the genocide presents a certain blame-culture upon individuals, with recent trials only being issued for a selection of those believed to be involved. Williams (2007) also argues that this political ideology is projected through the museum, where the director of the prison has a personal display of evidence for his crimes. Though the documentations within Tuol Sleng are accurate and therefore authentic to a degree, it is otherwise apparent that political accusations are still present within this matter and as such, deliver influenced material to tourists as a consequence.
