The ebook edition of this title is Open Access and freely available to read online. In a fast paced and increasingly digital world, a higher degree of sensitivity, humaneness and care in dealing with each other and in addressing feelings of isolation, alienation and fear is necessary. Within this context, the realm of tourism stands as no exception. This edited collection defines the new concept of Destination Conscience within the domain of tourism. It sheds light on the growing need for authenticity, meaning and a "human path" on the visitors' side, and the ability to develop such sensitivity on the destinations' side in creating meaning and responsibility. Whether through spirituality, religion, nature, history, or the subtleties of daily life, this novel paradigm fosters destinations' capacities to create meaning-driven experiences for their guests. In addition to outlining and defining the new concept of destination conscience, the inter-disciplinary approach and selected case studies and illustrative examples make Destination Conscience attractive to a variety of readers including researchers, practitioners, and postgraduate students in the fields of tourism management, spiritual and religious tourism, social sustainability, human and urban geography.

The Routledge Handbook of Religious and Spiritual Tourism provides a robust and comprehensive state-of-the-art review of the literature in this growing sub-field of tourism. This handbook is split into five distinct sections. The first section covers past and present debates regarding definitions, theories, and concepts related to religious and spiritual tourism. Subsequent sections focus on the supply and demand aspects of religious and spiritual tourism markets, and examine issues related to the management side of these markets around the world. Areas under examination include religious theme parks, the UNESCO branding of religious heritage, gender and performance, popular culture, pilgrimage, environmental impacts, and fear and terrorism, among many others. The final section explores emerging and future directions in religious and spiritual tourism, and proposes an agenda for further research. Interdisciplinary in coverage and international in scope through its authorship and content, this will be essential reading for all students, researchers, and academics interested in Tourism, Religion, Cultural Studies, and Heritage Studies.
