Books in the CABI Religious Tourism and Pilgrimage Series series

This book covers ideological motives and religious perceptions behind travel to sites. Beginning with contemporary perspectives of pilgrimage, it then discusses management aspects such as logistics, infrastructure, malevolent behaviour and evangelical volunteers, and provides practical applications, models and illustrations to aid understanding.

This book provides a unique multidisciplinary perspective on pilgrimage, encompassing both spiritual and non-spiritual travel. It is written by an international team, reflecting the rich diversity and multiple meanings of pilgrimage, and provides case studies reviewing the role of pilgrimage in promoting peace and reconciliation around the world.

This book explores the central role of ordinary people in the popularisation of faith-based practices, illustrating religious tourism as an expression of cultural identity; the interrelationship of cultural groups; and the overall formation of culture and society.

This book is the first to address motivation for and management of religious and spiritual tourism within one volume. It also brings in new and exciting case study perspectives, from a range of international, cross-sectional contributors.

This book is a timely re-assessment of the increasing connections between management of diversity and religious tourism and secular spaces on a global stage. Including a range of contemporary case studies, it is a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners in tourism management, pilgrimage and religious tourism.

Today thousands travel to religious sites for worship, initiatory and leisure purposes. This book provides a holistic approach to the study of these journeys, with case studies drawn from around the world. It covers conceptual themes including local development, regional economic development, heritage identity and management and environment.

This is the first book to discuss both religious tourism and the environment. Moving beyond the documentation of impacts, it examines intersections between the two areas, such as the environment as a resource or generator of religious tourism. Chapters discuss such important topics as disease, environmental responsibility and host perspectives.

Islamic tourism is an increasingly important market sector. This book provides practical applications, models and illustrations of religious tourism and pilgrimage management from a variety of international perspectives, supported by case studies.

Values-rich journeys can be described as pilgrimage, spiritual travel, personal heritage tourism, holistic tourism, or valuistic journeys. This book focuses on travellers themselves and their inner world through the lens of their journey. It provides interesting and challenging perspectives on the identity of pilgrims in the 21st century.
