In William James’s The Varieties of Religious Experience: A Study in Human Nature and Émile Durkheim’s Elementary Forms of Religious life, the societal implications of religion are examined and analyzed. James and Durkheim possess fairly similar methodologies in their approaches to religion. Both scholars examine religious phenomena based on the experience on the participants. For both of them the “religious experience is the point of departure for formulating a theory of religion” (Joas). James refutes “medical materialism” (James, 19) and argues that it is the extreme cases of religious fervor where true religious experiences will be found and Durkheim introduces his theory on “collective effervescence” (Durkheim, 226) and the experiences

“Than longen folk to goon on pilgrimages,” said Gregory Chaucer in his book, The Canterbury Tales, meaning people long to go on religious pilgrimages. The act of pilgrimage during the Middle Ages had been a very popular and traditional practice in the Christian society. This visit to shrines or holy places was an act of religious devotion and played a role in the lives of many Europeans, especially those in the western regions of Medieval Europe. In order to understand the importance of pilgrimages, we will emphasize the purpose of pilgrimages, the diversity of pilgrims that took part in them, and the various shrines pilgrims visited.

Have you ever wondered how life was being on a pilgrimage in the 15th century? Around 476 AD, there were long voyages taken on by religious folk called pilgrims. These people would go on journeys to holy places that would hold a type of value to these pilgrims. In the 1500s, people living in Europe thought that the world would come to an end. As that time came, the world did not cease to exist. The people went into utter chaos and started questioning the Christian Church. The people living in Europe at the time were told that they could experience salvation if they went on a religious journey to a holy relic. Thus beginning the pilgrimages. Because of the belief that traveling to a holy place could save themselves from their sins, pilgrimages became very common between the rich and poor. Therefore, pilgrims are the world’s most accomplished and competent travelers of all time because of their skills of navigating all throughout Europe.

Tourism has emerged as one of the fastest growing industry in the world economy. It is viewed as the key sectors of economic growth and development of a country, from the point of view of income, employment generation, and foreign exchange earner. Tourist satisfaction is crucial to the successful survival and operation of any tourist destination. Tourists’ satisfaction is the final target of total quality management. Due to the rapid increasing competition in the tourism market, tourist satisfaction-related studies have been gaining attention. In the present study, an attempt has been made to study the tourists’ satisfaction in Phawngpui National Park, Mizoram, one of the beautiful states of North-East India. This study contributes to a greater

The rational thinking by the philosophers and researchers based on the various notes and chronological record of events and detailed notes about the cultural, traditional practices and life style of the people’s of various places left by the priest who played an important role in day to day life of the local people and the personal diaries, notes and communication left behind by the people who travelled around the world which had lots of information about the travelling pattern, food, natural attractions and travelling modes helped researchers to widen the scope of research in the field of tourism and hospitality.

The Travel and Tourism industry is still one of the largest single businesses in world commerce and its importance is widely recognized. The tourism industry is now one of the largest sectors earning foreign exchange. In the face of many benefits, many countries have started assigning due weight age to the tourism industry in their national development agenda. Tourism is an industry that operates on a massively broad scale: it embraces activities ranging from the smallest sea-side hotel; to air-lines, multi-national hotel chains and major international tour operators. Originally, non-traditional industries such as tourism emerged as a solution to strike a balance between ecology and industry

The aim of this research is to consider dark tourism and discuss what are the tourism management issues generated by the growth of this phenomenon.

Robinson and Novelli (2005) note ‘niche tourism’ has become a growing trend occurring in current years in contrast to what is frequently related to as ‘mass tourism’. Cusack and Dixon (2006) add niche tourism is known to present diversity and provide opportunities with a form of tourism that aims towards sustainability alongside considering expenditure from tourists. Furthermore, it suggests a more practical set of strategies that distinguishes tourists. Gartner (1996) demonstrates how niche tourism consists of distinct interests, culture and/or activity built tourism including small proportion of tourist in authentic surroundings. Moreover, niche tourism can fall into more specific categories where cultural, environmental,

Our research question is “What happens to tourism in cities after being impacted by a terrorist attack?” Most tourists will seek safe and secure destinations when travelling which is why we hypothesize that they will avoid destinations impacted by terrorist attacks in the short-term. Terrorism can be defined as an act of targeted violence that appears to intimidate or coerce a sector of the population and/or a government’s policies to achieve political or social objectives inside or outside a territorial jurisdiction. The goal of terrorism is to psychologically disrupt possible targets and aim to increase public’s fear of terrorism to an illogical and overwhelming state of anxiety. In other words, the goal is for people to believe that anyone and everyone could be a victim at any moment. In a rational world there would be no impact on tourism after terrorist attacks (at least after the immediate danger is handled), however, we expect tourists to avoid such locations beyond this irrationally. Possible behavioural explanations for this avoidance include mortality salience, dread risk and overconfidence, base rate neglect and terror, and news coverage and the availability heuristic.

tourism industry provides millions of jobs across the world, it has five main components; Accommodation, Transport, Attractions, Tour operators and Travel agents. In this induction you will learn more about each of these components.

Nowadays, there is no denying the fact that being a tourist is becoming an increasing popular lifestyle in most of the region, such as America, Europe and Asia. Some people think that tourism industry is mutually beneficial, while others consider that tourism brings inequality and exploitation. I am in favor of the idea that the benefits that tourism brings to the CARICOM are short-term while drawbacks that come with are long-term.

The Influence Of Shopping Motivation, Optimum Stimulation Level And Cognitive Response On Store Patronage Satisfaction: A Case Of Indonesia Tjong Budisantoso, Notre Dame University Katherine Mizerski, Edith Cowan University Abstract This study focuses on the relationship between shopping motivation, optimum stimulation level and cognitive response and store patronage satisfaction.
