For millennia people have travelled to religious sites for worship,
initiatory and leisure purposes. Today there are hundreds, if not
thousands, of religious pilgrimage routes and trails around the
world that are used by pilgrims as well as tourists. Indeed, many
religious pilgrimage routes and trails are today used as themes by
tourism marketers in an effort to promote regional economic
development. Providing a holistic approach to religious pilgrimage
routes and trails, this book: - Addresses important conceptual
themes such as sustainable local development, regional economic
development, heritage identity and management, and promoting
environmentally friendly practices; - Includes global case studies
to help transfer theory into good practice; - Calls for further
discussion of the importance of better planning, management, and
maintenance of these routes and trails, so that the positive
benefits of this type of tourism development can be fully realized.
An important resource for those interested in religious tourism and
pilgrimage, this book is also an invaluable collection for
academics and policy-makers within heritage tourism and regional
development.
