Religious tourism and pilgrimage management: an international perspective

Abstract

Abstract This book aims to demonstrate to the reader the intrinsic details that have a crucial role to play within the religious tourism and pilgrimage management process. This 2nd edition lays a foundation for scholars, practitioners and students who do not study management, but who are concerned with the appearance and development of religious tourism and pilgrimage. Part I (chapters 1-6) covers concepts in religious tourism and pilgrimage management. Part II (chapters 7-11) deals with motivation and the experience of religious sites. Part III (chapters 12-21) presents a range of case studies of religious and pilgrimage activity, related to ancient, sacred and emerging tourist destinations and new forms of pilgrimage, faith systems and quasi-religious activities.
