Values-rich journeys can be described as pilgrimage, spiritual
travel, personal heritage tourism, holistic tourism, and valuistic
journeys. There are many motivations for undertaking these
journeys; the most important being personal values, life
experience, personal and social identity, lifestyle, social and
cultural influence. This book presents contributions that address
pilgrim motivation, identity and values as they are shaped by the
broader sociological, psychological, cultural and environmental
perspectives. The focus of the book is the travellers themselves
and their inner world through the lens of their pilgrimage. The
research presented focuses on the typology of pilgrim journeys as
ways in which identity and values are presented to a post-modern
consumer society, providing interesting and challenging
perspectives on the identity of pilgrims in the 21st century. The
book: - Provides a framework for understanding the impact of values
and identity on the motivation and behaviour of contemporary
pilgrims. - Presents a comprehensive review of the latest research,
a collection of case studies and models of practical applications.
- Discusses the perceptions of tourism and pilgrimage in the age of
value transformations and identity challenges.
