Which major factors have contributed to the expansion of the faith-based tourism market?
The rise in spiritual and religious motivation is expected to propel the growth of the faith-based tourism market going forward. Spiritual and religious motivation refers to the internal drive or inspiration that leads individuals to engage in practices, activities, or behaviors rooted in their spiritual or religious beliefs. Spiritual and religious motivation is attributed to cultural shifts, economic uncertainties, personal and global crises, technological advancements providing greater access to spiritual content, and a collective search for meaning, purpose, and community. Spiritual and religious motivation contributes to the growth of faith-based tourism by increasing demand for pilgrimages, visits to sacred sites, participation in religious ceremonies, and engagement with cultural heritage, fostering a greater interest in travel experiences that offer spiritual fulfillment and deeper connections to faith traditions. For instance, in April 2024, according to the Ministry of Tourism, an India-based government administration, 1,439 million participants in religious tourism in 2022, more than double the 677 million recorded in 2021. Therefore, the rise in spiritual and religious motivation is driving the growth of the faith-based tourism market.
