Chapter 12 The impact of development of religious tourism on the host community - A case study of Mount E’mei in China Xinlei Hu and Rong Huang University of Plymouth, Plymouth, UK 12.1 Introduction Going on a pilgrimage is included in the concept of tourism, and a new form of tourism, religious tourism, has been created (Sharpley and Sundaram, 2005). A review of English language literature sources reveals fewer studies related to the Buddhist religion compared to the other main religions. However a review of literature sources in Chinese (Gao and She, 2010) makes it clear that Chinese scholars pay more attention to the development and resources of religious tourism, in particular Buddhism. Sharpley (2014) notes that religious tourism can have a deep impact on a locality. This chapter discusses relationships between religions and tourism, stakeholders’ perceptions and factors that influence their views. A case study of the different impacts of development of Buddhism related tourism in Mount E’mei on the host community is included, which was based on a series of interviews with relevant tourism industry stakeholders.

  • The Case of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints
    religions Article The Role of Religious Leaders in Religious Heritage Tourism Development: The Case of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints Daniel H. Olsen 1,* and Scott C. Esplin 2 1 Department of Geography, Brigham Young University, Provo, UT 84602, USA 2 Department of Church History and Doctrine, Brigham Young University, Provo, UT 84602, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 15 March 2020; Accepted: 13 May 2020; Published: 20 May 2020 Abstract: For centuries, people have traveled to sacred sites for multiple reasons, ranging from the performance of religious rituals to curiosity. As the numbers of visitors to religious heritage sites have increased, so has the integration of religious heritage into tourism supply offerings. There is a growing research agenda focusing on the growth and management of this tourism niche market. However, little research has focused on the role that religious institutions and leadership play in the development of religious heritage tourism. The purpose of this paper is to examine the role of religious leaders and the impacts their decisions have on the development of religious heritage tourism through a consideration of three case studies related to recent decisions made by the leadership of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Keywords: tourism development; religious tourism; The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; Nauvoo; Illinois; Salt Lake City; Utah; Temple Square; religious pageants 1. Introduction For millennia, natural and human-built religious sites and landscapes have drawn both the faithful and the curious to travel long distances to participate in or observe religious rituals, or educational and leisure-related activities (Timothy and Olsen 2006; Suntikul and Butler 2018).

    Alternative TourismJournal Staged Authenticity The Israeli ‘Annexation’ of Palestinian Religious Tourism in the 1967 Occupied Territory 1 Alternative Tourism Journal is an initiative of the Alternative Tourism Group-Study Center Palestine (ATG). It is a journal which offers an alternative narrative of the situation in Palestine and the way it impacts on tourism. ATG is a Palestinian NGO specializing in tours and pilgrimages that include a critical examination of the history, culture, and politics of the Holy Land. ATG operates on the tenets of “justice tourism” and seeks empowerment of the local community through affirmation of Palestinian cultural identity, and protection of eco-rights. Above all, ATG seeks to promote justice in the Holy Land with tourism as one of its instruments. Copyright© ATG-2016 Published in Palestine by the Alternative Tourism Group-Study Center (ATG) Written and Researched by: Dr. Manar Makhoul Design and Layout: Lisa Salsa Kassis Printing: IDEAS - Bethlehem 2 Table of Contents Preface 5 Introduction 7 Zionism and Tourism 9 Erasure 9 Appropriation 13 Pilgrimage and Religious Tourism in Palestine 18 Back Stage 23 Performance 34 Conclusion 39 Bibliography 40 3 Introduction Staged Authenticity The Israeli ‘Annexation’ of Palestinian Religious Tourism in the 1967 Occupied Territory 4 Introduction Preface In this study, ATG reinforces the views it has propagated in its previous journals. In the main, we make the claim that Israel’s validation for promoting tourism under its current strategy is two-fold. The study is multi-faceted and, therefore, is intended to attract a variety of readers, researchers, and justice-oriented travelers whose primary reasons for being in the Holy Land is to explore the truth alongside seeing the sites.

Pilgrims going on foot are challenged in multiple forms. Probably to have the physical energy to accomplish the distances of each pilgrimage day is a common goal, also having time to reflect and to meditate is a common characteristic, independent from each pilgrim’s religious belief. Along the Way pilgrims live ‘slow’ experiences, involving themselves with what surrounds them. In those occasions, for most pilgrims, there is an opportunity for better understanding the importance of living in peace in a common world.
