The thesis examines the phenomenon most commonly known as “ayahuasca tourism” – i.e. the practice of westerners traveling to South America and partaking in ceremonies in which a powerful entheogenic brew, ayahuasca, is consumed. While this popular phenomenon has been steadily increasing during the last decades, it has, however, been insufficiently studied by scholars. An important question which has not been properly addressed in earlier studies is how ayahuasca tourism relates to the wider occurrence of travel and how it should be perceived with reference to the theoretical frameworks on the subject of travel. Drawing on theories regarding pilgrimage and tourism, the main purpose of this thesis is to examine the relationship between ayahuasca tourism and the broader spectrum of travel. In particular, the study tests the designations “pilgrimage”, “religious tourism” and “spiritual tourism” with reference to ayahuasca tourism. Utilizing earlier literature as well as ayahuasca tourists‟ reports obtained from an Internet forum as a basis for analysis, I search for a suitable terminology to be used for the phenomenon. The study lays special emphasis on the protagonists‟ motivations, experiences and outcomes in order to take note of various aspects of the wide-ranging occurrence of ayahuasca tourism. Key findings indicate that ayahuasca tourism is best understood as a combination of pilgrimage and tourism. On the basis of the analysis I argue that ayahuasca tourism should be labeled as “pilgrimage” and/or “spiritual tourism”, and the tourists respectively as “pilgrims” and/or “spiritual tourists”. The category of “religious tourism/tourist”, on the other hand, turns out to be an inappropriate designation when describing the phenomenon. In general, through my study I show that the results are consistent with the present trend in the study of travel to perceive pilgrimage and tourism as theoretically similar phenomena. The study of ayahuasca tourism serves thus as living proof of contemporary travel, in which the categories of pilgrimage and tourism are often indistinguishable. I suggest that ayahuasca tourism is by no means exceptional on this point, but can rather be used as an illustration of modern travel forms on a general level. Thus, the present study does not only add to the research of ayahuasca tourism, but also provides additional insights into the study of travel.

A geografia da religião no Brasil pós 1990, vem apresentando temas que auxiliam os geógrafos no entendimento do espaço. Para o geógrafo da religião, os estudos têm por análise a dimensão espacial da fé, no tempo e no espaço, trata-se da análise de duas categorias: o sagrado e o profano. Esta pesquisa visa como objetivo, o estudo da comunidade católica, a Canção Nova, inserida em um movimento renovador na Igreja Católica Apostólica Romana denominada Renovação Carismática Católica (RCC) em seu espaço e no tempo de fé. Torna-se necessário desenvolver a importância do sagrado no Vale do Paraíba Paulista em seus sucessivos (re) arranjos espaciais na hierópolis de Cachoeira Paulista. A interpretação dessas organizações espaciais ocorreu ao analisar os possíveis agentes modeladores no espaço: peregrinos, turistas, visitantes, comerciantes e moradores. O Espaço Sagrado e seus respectivos espaços vinculados representaram a contribuição geográfica dessa dissertação e facilitou a compreensão do homem com o divino e sua relação na dimensão econômica, a dimensão política e a dimensão do lugar.

Apesar de ser percebida como uma entidade supra-humana, a instituição Igreja é o resultado de um trabalho desenvolvido cotidianamente por indivíduos dedicados a tal empreendimento. Na Igreja Assembleia de Deus da vila Provetá, Ilha Grande, Angra dos Reis, RJ, esse trabalho contínuo vem sendo realizado com bastante êxito. O crescimento da vila foi concomitante ao crescimento da Igreja e seu corpo ministerial. Vinculado à sua história houve o processo de evangelização de grande parte dos moradores. Assim, a Igreja Assembleia de Deus Provetá detém uma clara hegemonia sobre o modo de vida local há pelo menos três gerações. Seu território é designado e percebido, tanto pelas pessoas dali, quanto pelas pessoas de fora, como um lugar regido por preceitos religiosos, cuja moral é predominantemente pentecostal. Este trabalho concentra-se na investigação acerca dos conjuntos da Assembleia de Deus, suas festas religiosas e desdobramentos. As festas e principalmente a organização e preparação das mesmas são veículos através do qual um cotidiano e/ou uma maneira de viver se manifesta. Tais práticas formam um complexo empreendimento que mobiliza grande parte da população local e revela dimensões sociais específicas. Ao delinear a forma com que a Igreja se inscreve na vida cotidiana dos fiéis, pode-se compreender de forma mais clara a interface entre religião e comunidade presente neste estudo de caso.

RESUMO: Existem vários turistas que se descolam para um determinado destino impulsionados por uma ou mais motivações. De qualquer das formas, devido ao intenso ritmo de vida das pessoas, a religião tem sido, cada vez mais, um elemento turístico que atrai várias pessoas que têm como principal motivação a fé. O Turismo Religioso ou Turismo com destino religioso, não tem sido considerado individualmente. Isto significa que este tipo de Turismo tem uma ligação forte com o património existente em áreas que desenvolvem a actividade turística. Por sua vez, o Turismo Religioso só é praticado quando existe esse património. A Vila de Arcozelo em Vila Nova de Gaia é um local que se depara com algumas limitações em termos económicos pelo que o Turismo poderá desempenhar um papel importante na sua estratégia de desenvolvimento. Apesar de afastada do grande centro urbano portuense, consegue atrair vários tipos de turistas, nomeadamente turistas de sol e mar e religiosos. Estes últimos têm como principal curiosidade visitar a “Santa” Maria Adelaide, mais conhecida por a “Santa das Noivas”. Em síntese, em termos científicos, esta Dissertação, procurou analisar as influências e o potencial que o Turismo Religioso pode representar para esta Vila e assim contribuir de forma consistente para o desenvolvimento local. ABSTRACT: There are many tourists who travel to a certain destination driven by one or more motivations. Anyway, due to the intense pace of life, religion has been, increasingly, a tourist element that attracts many people whose main motivation is faith. Religious tourism or tourism to a religious destination has not been considered. This means that this type of tourism has a strong connection with the existing heritage areas to develop tourism. On the other hand, religious tourism is practiced only when there is such a heritage. The Village of Arcozelo in Vila Nova de Gaia is a place that faces some limitations in terms of economics therefore tourism can play an important role in its development strategy. Although away from the major urban centre of Porto, the place manages to attract various types of tourists, especially sun and sea tourists, and religious tourist. These last ones have the curiosity to visit “Santa Maria Adelaide”, better known as the “Saint of the Brides”. Summarising, in scientific terms, this thesis sought to analyze the influences and the potential that religious tourism can bring to this village and this way consistently contribute to local development

This study is about the primary stakeholder management - the resident community, given its participation and support for the development of tourism in touristic destinations. It has as a general aim to analyze the factors that are capable to influence the residents‟ support to the development of religious tourism in Santa Cruz, RN, and the existing interrelationships between factors. In order to achieve this objective, it was necessary to use exploratory and descriptive research, followed by a quantitative approach through questionnaires with 422 residents of Santa Cruz -RN. The study was based on the variables relationship model proposed by Nunkoo and Ramkissoon (2012), it was also used the technique of Structural Equation Modeling - SEM, aiming to explain the relationships between the constructs studied. The results found on the survey suggest that the more residents realize the benefits generated by tourism, as well as trust in government actors in charge of tourism development, the more there will be a propensity to support the development of religious tourism. This result is similar to the one found in the study of Nunkoo and Ramkissoon (2012). We conclude that the structural model that best represents the reality of Santa Cruz -RN is composed of the factors: benefits, costs, and confidence in governmental actors, which are able to influence the support of Santa Cruz‟s residents for the development of religious tourism. It is also noteworthy that it was found a highly significant connection between the factors benefits perceived from tourism and confidence in governmental actors and between both of them, the political support for tourism

Tourism is an activity that uses the spatial objects and also produces and because it creates an economic activity areas for leisure. So for this to occur itdoes need a space reorganized, with infrastructure to receive visitors. And in the process of construction / reconstruction of tourist destination the state comes as a precursor, creating public policies that tourism can develop. Thus, this paper examines the transformation process by which the spaces are aiming to become tourist, and what changes occur in socio-spatial dynamic of the city in which this activity is inserted. The spatial area of study refers to the Alto de Santa Rita, Santa Cruz and the Isla de Santana Tourist Complex in Caicó both in Rio Grande do Norte. The reconstruction of the Island de Santana did not occur randomly, in order that the spatial changes were performed to meet the demand for which Caicó had to perform his greatest social and religious event, the Feast of Santana, which occurs since its colonization in year 1748 and also the Carnival these two events being considered as a strong tourist attraction of the city. And the Santa Rita High was built in order to enter the city of Santa Cruz in the script of religious tourism of the state through the devotion of the patron. The Dissertation isstructured in five parts, the first refers to the introduction of the work, while the second examines how tourism wound to the Rio Grande do Norte and internalizesthe third part deals with the spaces for tourism in these cities, the the fourthidentifies as the symbolism of these spaces influence the transformation and the latter reveals how these spaces affect the socio-economic structure of cities across the events

Artículo sobre la Ruta del Peregrino en Jalisco, México. La Ruta del Peregrino tiene 117 kilometros de largo, y es una ruta de peregrinación popular en México que antes tenía poca infraestructura. A través de nuevas estaciones de servicio y monumentos arquitectónicos, ahora es atractiva no sólo durante las fiestas religiosas. -------------------- ABSTRACT: "Every year, especially at Easter, more than 2 million people come from all over Mexico to walk along 117 kilometers of the western mountain range in Jalisco, from the village of Ameca to the sanctuary of the Virgin of the Rosary in Talpa de Allende." Recognizing the importance of this religious tourism the State of Jalisco "commissioned a master plan from Dereik Dellkamp and Tatiana Bilbao for the strategic incorporation of spaces for worship, leisure and services with functional infrastructure for the pilgrims' needs." As a result, 15 interventions have been created, including chapels, rest stops and pavilions. [Quotes from Arquine, Autumn 2010].

This paper investigates the recent trend for cathedrals in England to develop a wider and more ambitious scope to their event and activity programmes. It sets out to explore the types of events now hosted at cathedrals, to consider barriers to such ambitions and the opportunities presented by event programming to develop new audiences and grow attendances. The research focuses on the 42 Anglican cathedrals of England and has involved a review of recent reports published by church and cathedral organisations, supported by an in-depth review of event activity and objectives at five selected cathedrals in southern England. Despite declining general church attendance in England, cathedrals have enjoyed two decades of attendance growth both as places of worship and as tourist attractions, partly a reflection of a more complex contemporary search for multi-faceted types of spirituality. The paper explores how events can tap into the realm of individual spiritual capital and demonstrates the rich diversity of events now being hosted by cathedrals. The paper offers a new categorisation of ecclesiastical/liturgical events, cultural and community events and openly commercial event activity. Barriers remain but key facilitating factors have been new investment in event expertise and professionalism, encouragement to experiment by key funding bodies such as the Heritage Lottery Fund and the embracing of new forms of spirituality. The diversity of cathedral events reflects a new found growth in the nurturing of “spiritual capital” amongst both worshippers and tourists.

El turismo religioso, turismo en espacios religiosos o las peregrinaciones, han crecido considerablemente, más de 30 millones de personas se desplazan anualmente en México sólo por motivación religiosa y se estima una derrama económica de 680 millones de dólares. Este trabajo pretende establecer la motivación de la visita de santuarios en seis localidades del estado de Jalisco y analizar si se relaciona con la idea de sacrificio y fe del peregrino o con el ocio y placer del turista dedicado a la experiencia y vivencia del fenómeno religiosos, así como el grado de transición entre recinto religioso y atractivo turístico., desde una perspectiva del turismo cultural, lo que enfrenta la idea de un turismo alternativo. Se puede afirmar que en Jalisco, con relación al turismo religioso, predomina la condición de peregrino (sacrificio) en los visitantes y los espacios sacros y sus contenidos culturales aún cumplen la función de generar entornos propicios para la veneración, la contemplación y la adoración.

O presente projeto tem como principal objetivo a Classificação como Conjunto de Interesse Público (CIP) dos Vestígios Arqueológicos de Lourosa, associando ao estudo o potencial turístico que advém da ligação aos recursos patrimoniais. Outros objetivos: A Criação de um Centro Interpretativo da Cultura Judaica e o Reconhecimento e Notoriedade Internacional. O Turismo Cultural e Religioso, considerado como um produto emergente e inovador e uma das apostas do Plano Estratégico Nacional do Turismo (PENT) 2013/2015 continua a ser um recurso turístico do projeto Turismo 2020. A presença judaica em Portugal é tida pela comunidade científica como muito significativa e o seu valor patrimonial muito relevante. Constituem aspetos deste património histórico-cultural: as comunas e as judiarias, as sinagogas e os armários sagrados, as inscrições e as marcas de simbologia judaica e cristã-nova, as tradições e os costumes. A confluência entre a cultura, a religião e o turismo dá origem ao denominado Turismo Cultural e Religioso. A Organização Mundial do Turismo, identifica o turismo cultural como sendo: O movimento de pessoas essencialmente por motivos culturais, incluindo visitas de grupo, visitas culturais, viagens a festivais, visitas a sítios históricos e monumentos, folclore e peregrinação (OMT, 1985, citado por McKercher e du Cros, 2002). O turismo cultural tem sido considerado a área de maior crescimento no turismo global. O turismo religioso tem igualmente uma relação forte com o património existente sendo que, o principal objetivo é a participação em rituais de culto. Assim sendo, o turismo é uma atividade multifacetada que apresenta uma forte ligação com o património material e imaterial existente contribuindo desta forma, para o desenvolvimento económico e social de uma determinada região.
