“…The study uses the attitudinal approach based on self-reported data collection technique. The construct measures were derived from the scales for religious and secular motives used in the past studies [17,28,45,49,50,51]. The religious motives included the following items: "Expressing love and respect for God", "Searching for forgiveness", "Getting closer to something sacred", "Seeking out opportunities to help me grow spiritually ", "Fulfilling one of the Five Pillars of Islam", "Visiting the center of the Muslim world".…”

Understanding Religious Traveling from Central Asia to Saudi Arabia Using Cluster Analysis

Islamic revival in Central Asia: The Central Asian countries, especially after the collapse of Soviet regime, are seeing a revival in their religion which could be a boon for religious tourism [1]. The importance of the whole Asia in religious tourism is supported by the fact that of an estimated 600 million religious and spiritual voyages [2], around a half is in Asia. With limited research on religious travel and pilgrimage in post-Soviet countries, the main aim of the current study is to understand travel motivations of Muslim pilgrims from Central Asia to Saudi Arabia. The cultural, social, and political significance of religious travel by Muslims is of vital importance. Performing the Hajj at least once in the lifetime is the fifth pillar of Islam and a duty on Muslims who can afford to do that financially and physically. The Hajj along with the Umrah and the lesser pilgrimage, such as Ziyarat (visiting sacred sites), constitutes an act of religious tourism that is unparalleled in other religions [3]. The Pew Research Center on Religion and Public Life in a comprehensive demographic study of more than 230 countries and territories [4] estimated that there were 5.8 billion religiously affiliated people around the globe, representing 84% of 6.9 billion world population. With more than eight-in-ten people identifying with a religious group, there were 2.2 billion Christians (32%), 1.6 billion Muslims (23%), 1 billion Hindus (15%), nearly 500 million Buddhists (7%) and 14 million Jews (0.2% of the world's population) as of 2010. Christianity has been by far the world's largest religion, however with the world's total population projected to increase to 9.3 billion between 2010 and 2050 (35% increase), Muslims expected to rise by 73% over that same period. As a result, according to the Future of World Religions projections [5] of Pew Research Center, by 2050 there will be parity between Muslims (2.8 billion, or 30% of the population) and Christians (2.9 billion, or 31%). Muslim population is projected to grow in absolute number in all regions of the world. Islam has emerged in Asia. It explains the fact that more t han two-thirds of the World Muslim population resides in this continent [6]. Looking to the future, the Asia-Pacific region will remain to be the home of a majority of the Muslims in the world [5]. However, the population trends of Muslims living in different Asian countries vary. Countries with large current Muslim populations (such as Indonesia, Pakistan and Bangladesh) will anticipate a decline of Muslim population between 2010 and 2050, while other countries will demonstrate growth [5]. The Central Asian countries, after getting independence from the 70-year-long enforced secularization process, have been anticipating an Islam revival. This region consists of five countries: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. The total population of this region increased from 17.5 million in 1950 to 61.3 million in 2010 and projected to be 85.2 million by 2050. The related percentage ...

“…Por su parte, Eade (2009) incide en la misma idea e incluso abunda en el hecho de que las personas visionarias que dan lugar a estos fenómenos también acostumbran a estar en los márgenes, en este caso de la sociedad, como claramente se refleja en los ejemplos de Lourdes o Fátima. Ambrosio (2007Ambrosio ( , 2008Ambrosio ( , 2009) a partir de los autores de referencia y de sus propios estudios ratifica el carácter ex-céntrico de los santuarios y de sus protagonistas y esto le sirve para relacionar la peregrinación con el turismo.…”

RESUMENEl objetivo de este artículo es reflexionar sobre destinos turísticos neogénicos surgidos a partir de motivaciones diferentes. En concreto focalizamos el trabajo en dos localidades ibéricas seleccionadas como representativas del turismo religioso y de sol y playa: Fátima y Benidorm. Los argumentos que desarrollamos insisten en la idea de que la aparición y evolución de estos destinos no es neutra desde el punto de vista geográfico. Del mismo modo existen coincidencias a la hora de entender su estructura urbana si bien es cierto que hay algunas variables, como el diferente grado de madurez de los núcleos, que acentúan las diferencias. No se trata de un estudio comparativo entre dos destinos turísticos. Más bien lo que se pretende es confrontar dos modelos que frecuentemente se consideran opuestos hasta el punto de llegar a dudarse del carácter turístico de los peregrinos entendidos como viajeros con una profunda motivación religiosa. Si es cierto que el turismo crea formas particulares de espacio social también se debería pensar en su capacidad para generar formas particulares de espacio geográfico independientemente de la razón que justifica el viaje turístico.

Viaceré práce v rámci teoretickej roviny sa zameriavajú na diskusiu o vzťahu religiózneho turizmu a pútnictva (Rinschede, 1992, Ostrowski 2000 a snažia sa zodpovedať otázku pútnictva ako formy cestovného ruchu.…”

The aim of this article is to analyze pilgrimage tourism in Marianka.Attention is paid to history of the pilgrimage centre, to sacred place and to future of pilgrimage tourism in the village.Keywords: pilgrimage tourism, history, sacred place, Marianka ÚvodPutovanie, ako najmarkantnejší vizuálny prejav religiózneho kultu v prostredí, neoddeliteľnou súčasťou pevne zakorenenou vo všetkých svetových náboženstvách (kresťanstvo, judaizmus, islam, hinduizmus, budhizmus).Religiozita, a tým aj religiózny cestovný ruch, ktorého súčasťou je aj pútnický cestovný ruch je na Slovensku historicky pevne zakorenená. Ani obdobie rokov 1948 -1989, ktoré bolo etapou náboženských obmedzení religiozitu a putovanie nedokázalo vymazať, no výrazne spomalilo vývoj pútnických centier.Ku skutočnej slobode vierovyznania došlo až po spoločenských zmenách v novembri 1989. Paralelne s renesanciou náboženskej slobody sa posilnilo postavenie religiózneho cestovného ruchu a v rámci neho aj pútnického cestovného ruchu. Cieľom príspevku je analýza najstaršieho pútnického miesta na SlovenskuMarianku Zhodnotenie literatúryProblematika pútnického a religiózneho cestovného ruchu je v slovenských podmienkach rozpracovaná doteraz veľmi skromne, čo je výsledkom desaťročí náboženskej neslobody, ako aj nie najsprávnejšie vnímanie pútnického cestovného ruchu ako ekonomicky neefektívnu formu cestovného ruchu. Preto sú ťažiskové pramene zahraničnej proveniencie.Literatúru, zaoberajúcu sa problematikou religiózneho turizmu, resp. pútnictvom je možné rozdeliť z hľadiska ich obsahu do troch tematických rovín.Teoretická rovina sa venuje definovaniu religiózneho turizmu a pútnictva a jeho typizácii. Z takto zameraných prác spomeňme štúdie od autorov ako napr.
