includes participants pursuing similar leisure experiences to
non-Muslims, within the parameters set by Islam. Destinations are

forecast to be worth around US$238 billion. This book explores the
ever-widening gap between the religious, tourism, management and
education sectors. It provides practical applications, models and
illustrations of religious tourism and pilgrimage management from a
variety of international perspectives, and introduces theories and
models in an accessible structure. The book: - Includes a range of
contemporary case studies of religious and pilgrimage activities. -
Covers ancient, sacred and emerging tourist destinations. - Reviews
new forms of pilgrimage, faith systems and quasi-religious
activities. This book offers an engaging assessment of the linkages
and interconnections between Muslim consumers and the places they
visit. It provides an important analysis for researchers of
religious tourism, pilgrimage and related subjects.

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.
This book reviews tourist motivations for making religious or
spiritual journeys, and the management aspects related to them. It
explores sacred journeys across both traditional religions such as
Christianity and Islam, and newer forms of pilgrimage, faith
systems and quasi-religious activities such as sport, music and
food. Demonstrating to the reader the intrinsic elements and events
that play a crucial role within the destination management process,
it provides a timely re-assessment of the increasing
interconnections between religion and spirituality as a motivation
for travel. The book: - Includes applications, models and
illustrations of religious tourism and pilgrimage management for
converting theory into good practice; - Addresses theories of
motivation and why travel to religious destinations has increased;
- Explores key learning points from a selection of international
case study perspectives. Providing researchers and students of
tourism, religious studies, anthropology and related subjects with
an important review of the topic, this book aims to bridge the
ever-widening gap between specialists within the religious,
tourism, management and education sectors.
Travellers today face many challenges from risk and safety issues.
Focusing in particular on risk and safety issues faced by visitors
to holy sites, this book looks at the unique challenges raised,
where annual religious festivals are commemorated with mass
gatherings lasting for days and large crowds require detailed
disaster management plans. Beginning with a general section on risk
management, covering areas such as disaster management, terrorism,
crime and security, the book then delves deeper into specific
issues and challenges. It reviews important topics such as
understanding the behaviour of crowds, how to perform a risk
assessment for a sacred space, and travelling in what some would
regard as an increasingly hostile world. Examining critically all
risk and safety challenges in this area of management, the book: -
Includes a full section of global case studies, as well as
discussion questions for each chapter, encouraging readers to
translate theory into good practice. - Offers critical thinking on
risk, vulnerability and long-term development for mass gatherings.
- Covers the importance of disaster management practices and offers
practical advice for ensuring attendees' safety. Mitigating risk at
mass gathering events and festivals is an area that still needs
further research, but this book brings together current thought and
provides a valuable reference for those studying religion, tourism
and events, as well as event organizers, emergency and hospital
services, and local authorities.
