RELIGIOUS TOURS

Reality is that religion and faith are major businesses and have long impacted the tourism industry. One of the oldest forms of tourism is religious or as it is now known, faith based tourism.While there are many differences between travel by the faithful to a religious site and a theme park, interestingly enough there are also many parallels between what would appear to be two very different venues.Religious or faith-based tourism, however, is not only about pilgrimages. Faith based travel may take place for life cycle events, for missionary work or humanitarian interest projects and for religious conventions and conclaves.Although the social-psychology of religious tourism deals is based on emotion, faith-based tourism is big business.
