This book explores the dynamic interaction between religion and tourism in the modern world. It explores question such as 'Do travellers leave their religion at home when they are touring ' and what happens if not? What are the relationships between tourism and pilgrimage? Michael Stausberg surveys the growing body of research in the field, and argues that tourism should be a major focus of research within religious studies.
