This book examines both specific issues and more general problems
stemming from the interaction of religion, travel and tourism with
hospitality and culture, as well as the implications for site
management and interpretation. It explores the oldest form of
religious tourism - pilgrimage - from its original form to the
multiple spiritual and secular variations practised today, along
with issues and conflicts arising from the collision of religion,
politics and tourism. The volume considers the impact of tourism
and tourist numbers on religious features, communities and
phenomena, including the deliberate involvement of some religious
agencies in tourism. It also addresses the ways in which religious
beliefs and philosophies affect the behaviour and perceptions of
tourists as well as hosts. The book illustrates how different
faiths interact with tourism and the issues of catering for
religious tourists of the major faiths, as well as managing the
interaction between increasing numbers of secular tourists and
pilgrims at religious sites.
