Pilgrimage during Security Crisis

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The historic phenomenon of pilgrimage is experiencing a resurgence around the world. Yet pilgrimage as a mode of tourism has been little investigated. This book adds considerably to our knowledge by focusing on one specific pilgrimage voyage - that to the Holy Land during times of security crisis there. The work provides insights into pilgrimage as tourism, also offering an integrative approach to tourism crisis management.
