This book delves into topics on pilgrimage travel and communities
from a variety of perspectives through academic research based on
the Middle East, Northeast Asia, the Indian subcontinent, and
Europe, where sacred sites have become of great importance for both
international and domestic tourism. In particular, Europe and Asia
possess a high volume of world-renowned pilgrimage sites that are
currently being developed as tourism destinations in their
respective countries, such as Santiago de Compostela (Spain),
Lourdes (France), and Koyasan (Japan). This book includes studies
on these two continents that harbor both a great history of
pilgrimage tradition, as well as tourism development related to
religious travel. The book importantly covers the role of the
community in religious tourism, as well as the impact on the
locals, which is comparatively an unexplored area. Whilst
pilgrimage is seen as an effective tool to revitalize local
economies, this book also reveals the different challenges to
achieving this goal. Realizing the importance of the
interrelationship of community and pilgrimage travel, as well as
the lack of studies on it, this book seeks to address this research
gap through 14 chapters divided into two parts, ‘Communities and
Constestation’ and ‘Pilgrimage Shaping Communities’. To
ensure diverse perspectives, case studies from different Eurasian
countries, written by authors with expertise in the study of
pilgrimage and religious travel, are included. Readers can expect
to gain new perspectives by having a deeper comprehension of the
‘community side‘ of pilgrimage travel in Eurasia, and thus an
integral understanding of contemporary pilgrimage
