“…The profound association between religion and heritage is exemplified by the significant number of world heritage sites intricately tied to religious or spiritual significance (De-Caro, 2017). Approximately 20% of the properties on the World Heritage List have religious connections, and many other listed sites possess "Outstanding Universal Values" rooted in their spiritual connotations (Rico, 2021).…”

Traveling to religious heritage sites is a complex phenomenon attracting religious and non-religious visitors. This study aims to provide an analytical framework that bridges convergence and divergence theories to differentiate between religious and nonreligious visitors by analyzing motivations, experiences, behaviors, and interlinkages. A comprehensive literature review of databases from 2001 to 2022 discussed the distinction between pilgrims and tourists to religious heritage sites was conducted. The findings indicated that the convergence hypothesis points to significant similarities between pilgrims and tourists due to convergence in motivations. Behaviors at religious sites also demonstrate the similarity between pilgrims and secular visitors, and traveling experiences can blend aspects of pilgrimage and tourism for both pilgrims and tourists. However, divergence theories emphasize substantial differences in motivations, experiences, and behaviors between religiously motivated pilgrims and secular visitors. Pilgrims are driven by devotion and spiritual experiences, while secular tourists prioritize entertainment and culture. The study concludes that religious travel encompasses multiple dimensions. Thus, classifying religious visitors and secular tourists is a complex task due to the interplay of personal levels of devotion, spiritual practice, and interpretive system qualities across various sites. This interaction leads to intertwining and evolving motivations, behaviors, and experiences throughout the journey.

This research examines how museums and heritage sites can embrace a social justice approach to tackle inequalities and how they can empower disadvantaged groups to take an equal benefit from cultural resources. This Element argues that heritage institutions can use their collections of material culture more effectively to respond to social issues, and examines how they can promote equal access to resources for all people, regardless of their backgrounds. This research examines heritage and museum practices, ranging from critical and democratic approaches to authoritarian practices to expose the pitfalls and potentials therein. By analysing case studies, examining institutions' current efforts and suggesting opportunities for further development with regard to social justice, this Element argues that heritage sites and museums have great potential to tackle social issues and to create a platform for the equal redistribution of cultural resources, the recognition of diversities and the representation of diverse voices.

Geopolitics of Digital Heritage analyzes and discusses the political implications of the largest digital heritage aggregators across different scales of governance, from the city-state governed Singapore Memory Project, to a national aggregator like Australia's Trove, to supranational digital heritage platforms, such as Europeana, to the global heritage aggregator, Google Arts & Culture. These four dedicated case studies provide focused, exploratory sites for critical investigation of digital heritage aggregators from the perspective of their geopolitical motivations and interests, the economic and cultural agendas of involved stakeholders, as well as their foreign policy strategies and objectives. The Element employs an interdisciplinary approach and combines critical heritage studies with the study of digital politics and communications. Drawing from empirical case study analysis, it investigates how political imperatives manifest in the development of digital heritage platforms to serve different actors in a highly saturated global information space, ranging from national governments to transnational corporations.
