Abstract

The religious tourism is a strategic development option for many destinations. It requires a tourism orientation, significant private and public capital investment, and a willingness on the part of religious authorities to adapt to visitor needs. The aim of this article is to examine the development of Catholic tourism in different Mexican and European regions and assess related life-cycle implications. Recommendations are made for developing the potential of the Mexican religious regions, and for advancement of the religious tourism destination life-cycle concept.
