CONFERENCE AIM
Following the great success of the 1 st Lecce conference on religious tourism, the 2nd
and upcoming conference will focus on the relationships between religious tourism and
its host environment. Recently, studies have indicated that religious tourism may both
positively and negatively affect the environment which hosts it. The array of impacts
is complex since religious tourism interacts simultaneously with the physical, sociocultural and economic environments. It is the uniqueness of religious tourism and its
host environments which calls for special attention to be paid to the effects on the environment in the wake of such ‘tourist ’ activity. Therefore, the aim of this conference is
to initiate a discourse on the theoretical and applied aspects of these special relations.
The conference will also present case studies where such interactions occur. A further
aim will be to also discuss these various interactions on cross- and multi-dimensional levels. Finally, the conference will propose planning and management solutions which can
meliorate religious tourism experiences, on the one hand, and allow sustainable operation of such activity for the benef it of all stakeholders involved, on the other hand.
