Religion and spirituality are still among the most common
motivations for travel - many major tourism destinations have
developed largely as a result of their connections to sacred
people, places and events. Providing a comprehensive assessment of
the primary issues and concepts related to this intersection of
tourism and religion, this revealing book gives a balanced
discussion of both the theoretical and applied subjects that
destination planners, religious organizations, scholars, and
tourism service providers must deal with on a daily basis. Bringing
together a distinguished list of contributors, this volume takes a
global approach and incorporates substantial empirical cases from
Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, Roman Catholicism, Mormonism, New Ageism,
Sikhism, Buddhism, and the spiritual philosophies of East Asia. On
a conceptual level, it considers, amongst other topics: contested
heritage the pilgrim-tourist dichotomy secularization of pilgrimage
experiences religious humanism educational aspects of religious
tourism commodification of religious icons and services. A vibrant
collection of essays, this outstanding book discusses many
important practices, paradigms, and problems that are currently
being examined and debated. It raises an array of significant and
interesting questions and as such is a valuable resource for
students, scholars and researchers of tourism, religion and
cultural studies.
