“…The experience of the visitors could therefore be said to be worthwhile as some of their expectations were met. Previous findings have indicated that the value of money spent by tourist was measured by their experiences that met with their expectations with destination visited (Alvarado-Sizzo et al, 2017;Chand, 2013;Chi and Qu, 2008;Cho et al, 2016;Fisichelli et al, 2015;Pearce, 2005;Poria et al, 2004;Salim and Mwaipopo, 2016;Vipat and Bharucha, 2014).

“…The qualities of all these tourism products play important roles in tourism by increasing the level of tourists' satisfaction. Findings of many researchers have also revealed that other variables in any destination apart from those in its nucleus can be used in creating a positive image for that destination (Poria et al, 2004;Pearce 2005;Lee 2009;Prayag 2009;Chand 2013;Vipat and Bharucha 2014;Fisichelli et al, 2015;Cho et al, 2016;Salim and Mwaipopo 2016;Alvarado-Sizzo et al, 2017). 100.000…”

Tourist travel decisions and behavior are influenced by destination image and value of experience to tourists. Perceived value is one of the important tools for securing a competitive edge in tourism destinations. This study investigates destination image competitiveness, factors enhancing the destination image and perceived value for tourists' experience for the Osun Oshogbo Grove, Nigeria. Two hundred and forty respondents were sampled with the use of a structured questionnaire. Five factors comprising of 63 variables were used to determine the destination image competitiveness using principal component analysis, while multiple regressions were used to evaluate the perceived value for tourists at the grove. Results revealed that 11 out of the 12 variables determining the destination image competitiveness were significant in attracting tourists to the grove. The regression analysis result showed that all factors predicting tourists' value of experience are strong (R= 0.936). The variance of destination common service, entertainment and event satisfaction, travel environment satisfaction, and spiritual satisfaction all contributed strongly to the tourists' value of experience (87.70%) with significance (p < 0.05). Factors of heritage resources, destination environment, entertainment, and culture, as well as price and value with high alpha value contributed greatly to adding value to enhancing destination and tourists' experience. Eleven variables positively and significantly predicted tourist value. The recommendation therefore is that managers of the Osun World Heritage Site should maintain these variables as well as event experience, entertainment, and environment cleanliness as they are critical to adding values to tourists' experience.

“…Believers who make religious trips to Izamal are driven by the belief that Mary is their protector of the peninsula region. Religious tourists motivated by their faith is an example of tourism as a manifestation of human motivation for pluralism in abandoning radicalism [3]. Politics and interests will not influence religious differences in any nation in the world religiously in inner and spiritual experience, but will be a force that proves tolerance and pluralism in this world society [4].…”

Religious Tourism is one of the important pillars in building a community without ethnic, racial, religious and intergroup boundaries. Besakih Temple in Bali is an example of a Hindu sacred place of worship that also provides a place of worship for adherents of other religions, such as mosques and churches. In this location, there is no religious fanaticism. The study aims to examine the positive impact of religious tourism in building harmony of life towards deradicalization and religious pluralism. The study method uses a multi-case qualitative approach to adjoining religious tourism places of worship in several regions. Studies find that multi-religious and multi-ethnic religious tourists mingle in tourism activities. Muslim tourists blend peacefully with other religious followers. They feel as one of God's people. Social insecurity in the plurality of religions and the cause of religious radicalism does not occur at all in religious tourism areas. This finding proves the solidity of religious harmony that leads to the process of the formation of deradicalization and pluralism, which actually leads to the formation of a society living peacefully in a religious life.
