Contemporary valuistic journeys are analysed. The concept of valuistic journeys consists of the agreement between the identities of the traveller himself and others, where the social identity is marked by the meanings and symbols. The manifestation of personal and social identity has different forms and rituals, constitutes different models of the specific behaviour. The analysis of two different travel diaries shows different traditions, manifested values, and behaviour of travellers. The analysis also shows which rituals and symbols are the most important for Lithuanian pilgrims. Author stresses the significance of values and identity in the future trends of tourism. Key words: valuistic journeys, travel diaries, behaviour and rituals of pilgrims, M. K. Radvila the Orphan. 1. Introduction Manifestation of values and identity is important element of our life. Travelling is one of the ways to demonstrate identity and values, outlook on the world. Various rituals and models of specific behaviour help to express travellers’ identity. The purpose of this paper is to highlight valuistic journeys as the instrument for expression valuistic ideals, and to discuss visible actions (mainly rituals), which help to show internal values of travellers. As the case studies travel diary of the famous XVI century Lithuanian religious pilgrim M. K. Radvila the Orphan and travel diaries of the XXI century youth secular pilgrimage from Lithuania to Siberia are analysed. 2. Tourism as the manifestation of values: valuistic journeys Tourism can be seen as instrument to manifest or construct one’s identity through contact with others. Destination places could serve as reference points that help tourists to (re) construct their personal identity (3). Exist different approaches to values based tourism. Conceptions of values based journeys could be described as pilgrimage, personal heritage tourism, holistic tourism, and valuistic journeys. However, in all these conceptions motivation for travelling is related with constructing or manifestation of personal or social identity, self-fulfilment of showing your values. These conceptions provide a framework for understanding values and identity impacts on motivation and behaviour of tourists. The term pilgrimage is the best known for religious travelling to the sacred places. However, today more and more authors (Morinis (11); Hall (2); Margry (8), etc.) emphasize new secular forms of pilgrimage that go far beyond traditional religious practices. According Morinis (11, p. ix), pilgrimage is a movement toward ideals known but not achieved at home. Pilgrimage becomes value-based journey mingling the sacrum and profanum spheres. Holistic tourism, according Smith (15), is directed towards inner harmony. These types of tourists seek personal enhancement or enlightenment, they enjoy natural experiences in harmony with nature. Their main value is physical, mental and spiritual well-being. Personal heritage tourists try 7 Paper proceedings of Tourism and Hospitality Management 2015(ISBN 978-955-4543-28-7) to find personal families past, knowing family history is most important value for such travellers (16). The conception of valuistic journeys has been developed by Liutikas (4, 5, 6, 7). According him, valuistic journeys express values and identity of an individual and serve as an indicator of tourist value orientations. Two major groups of valuistic journeys were defined: a traditional (religious) pilgrimage and a secular (unrelated to religion) pilgrimage. Secular pilgrimage carries a kind of religiosity that overtakes traditional religious meaning and is built on immanent but universal values. It can be divided into several types: sport fan journeys are related to supporting a team and/or an athlete during a competition outside their place of residence; cultural pilgrimages seek to express cultural values related to music, fine arts or other kinds of art; national identity journeys constitute travelling to a place or event of significance from the point of view of national history or statehood, seeking to pay tribute to political leaders or, if the place of residence is elsewhere, to visit one’s Motherland (5). Valuistic travellers can be often distinguished from other travellers by the fact that in most cultures they are inclined to be recognised as such because the journey like this
