IMPACT OF RELIGIOUS TOURISM ON LOCAL DEVELOPMENT
Abstract
Religious tourism is one of the most wide-spread forms of travelling in terms of its volume but also of its extent. Study of the religious tourism is significant in terms of its protection of cultural heritage, its historical aspect as well as in terms of its contribution to the regional development. A comprehensive view on the status of using Slovakia's great potential for religious tourism is absent; a systematic research of religious tourism on the national level is unsatisfactory. Available studies and analysis are oriented just on the topic spiritual dimension of pilgrimages in Christianity, on localizing factors of religious tourism or on the geography of religions. This paper presents a partial case study that aims to map the situation in the Slovak region in the field of religious tourism: analyzes the town Trnava – which is called small Roma - because of the many churches within its city walls and rich religious life from the pilgrim tourism perspective. Trnava is perceived as strongly Christian from Slovak perspective as well as by its own resident. It was realized the research by means of question survey. This pursued an effect of the pilgrim event at the local development.
