month of December is one of the seasons year when much of the world is focused on faith. The faith-based industries, however, are not a phenomenon once a year. The reality is that religion and faith are big business and have a great impact on the tourism industry. One of the oldest forms of tourism is a religious or as now known, faith-based tourism. The Bible tells of trip to Jerusalem at least three times a year for each of the Biblical harvest festivals. Similarly, the Islamic world is famous for the pilgrimage to Mecca. Other cities around the world have religious tourism sites such as Fatima in Portugal and Lourdes in France.
While there are many differences between the journey of faith to religious sites and a theme park, is quite interesting that there are many parallels between what might seem to be two different bowing. What is fascinating about religious tourism is that parallel much of the two. For example, today (and what we can learn from ancient texts, even in the ancient world) as religious sites such as theme parks produce secondary industries.
Sean these, the memory industry or hospitality industry, a number of dependent industries are developing rapidly around the site. In the second one has to believe that the pilgrimage or the theme park sense. Therefore Temátic enter a park or a site of religious pilgrimage is an exercise in emotion rather than knowledge.
tourism religious or faith-based, however, not only about pilgrimages. The faith-based trip takes place in life cycle events, for missionary work or projects of humanitarian and religious conclaves and conventions.
