Managing Religious Tourism provides a global view of the tools and
resources used in demand and supply management, in the context of
pilgrimage and religious tourism. With a focus on toolkits and best
practices, the book reinforces the quality of service provision and
offers a reflection on consumers' perspectives and what drives
their purchasing decisions with regards to a variety of
destinations. These central themes are complemented by an
understanding of management responses to consumer behaviour and
mobility, accessibility, individualism and tourism for both sacred
and secular purposes. The book also examines the ways in which
networks, partnerships and the conceptual stakeholder approach can
be employed by religious tourism suppliers working with destination
management organisations. The text promotes sustainable development
and a triple bottom line focus, with all chapters supporting policy
for framing development. Key features include: - Global perspective
on tools as well as management approaches and techniques. -
Emphasis on sustainability in connecting sacred and secular
consumers. - Focus on promoting learning and development within
this important tourism sector.
Since the dawn of humanity, people have traveled in search of
meaning and to petition for worldly and otherworldly blessings. In
the twenty-first century, the number of people traveling to
religious sacred sites on pilgrimage, for example, has increased
more than at any point in human history. An increased demand for
pilgrimage routes and trails with the spiritual rather than the
religious walker in mind, has also led various enterprising groups
and individuals to develop entirely new pilgrimage routes and
trails. This book highlights this new chapter in pilgrimage and
trail development with essays by pilgrimage scholars and
practitioners of pilgrimage and faith-based tourism working in over
ten countries. These include an examination of circular pilgrimage
in The Netherlands, weird or "anti-pilgrimages" in the UK, and the
revitalization of ancient trails along the Old Way to Canterbury,
in the Baltic States, and on the Kumano Kodo in Japan. Entirely new
trails include the Sufi Trail in Turkey, the Western Front Way in
Europe, the Abraham Path in Southwest Asia, the Mormon Canadian
Trail, and various new religious-themed trails in Lebanon. Human
rights focused pilgrimages include one focused on peace building in
Indigenous Australia, Indigenous settler pilgrimage protocols in
Canada, and an emancipation pilgrimage along the Underground
Railroad in the United States.
