While recreation and leisure-based motivation and behaviors are evident in religious tourism, this volume reiterates its rootedness in tenets from religious traditions and pilgrimages. Using fresh perspectives on place-stories, rituals, performances, that are central to pilgrimage and sacred sites, essays in this volume explain contemporary expressions of religious tourism and illustrate the dynamic nature of religious tourism as an ecosystem embedded in religious practices, rituals and performances. The explanations will benefit researchers and practioners alike and they can find numerous examples that show the significance of religious tourism for sustainable development of destinations.Sacred Sites, Rituals, and Performances Technology: general issuesbicsscfestivalcustomer classificationfactor analysismotivationfolklore beliefWorld Youth Dayeventization of faithreligious tourismArchdiocese of LodzPolandshinto shrinepopular culturetourist performancesmaterial religionpilgrimagesacred sitesmotorbikingbikerChurch of Englandretreatpilgrimage centersanctuarysanctuary service zonescity spacespatial developmenttourist functiongeography of religionancestral temple of Mazucommodificationdiasporafolklorizationinvention of traditiontransnationalismauthenticityspiritualityMount Athoshospitalitypilgrimage tourismBuddhist pilgrimageritual ecologyBuddhismBodhgayaBuddhist heritageTechnology: general issuesShinde Kiranedt1294101Shinde KiranothBOOK9910557332503321Sacred Sites, Rituals, and Performances3022874UNINA
