Abstract

This chapter reassesses theories of motivation, both historical and contemporary, related to religious tourism, pilgrimage, festivals and events, recognizing the act of travel as well as the arrival as part of the complex matrix of travel motivators. The chapter introduces discourses on content theory and process theory, highlighting the work of Maslow and Herzberg to underpin the analysis of motivations for religious tourism and pilgrimage
