• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book explores the dynamic interaction between religion and tourism in the modern world, asking questions such as 'what are the relationships between tourism and pilgrimage?' and 'what happens to religious performances, places and festivals that function as tourist attractions?' Surveying the growing body of work in the field, Michael Stausberg argues that tourism should be a major focus of research within religious studies.
