Book Synopsis

Rooted in ancient traditions, spiritual journeys have long served as powerful catalysts for self-reflection, cultural understanding, and personal growth. With an emphasis on the cognitive transformation that often accompanies such travels, this contributed volume provides both historical context and practical advice to navigate the complex landscape of contemporary spiritual tourism.

Spiritual Tourism and Landscape synthesises age-old teachings with modern perspectives, offering readers a comprehensive framework for travellers on meaningful spiritual journeys. By presenting case studies and practical guidance, it encourages mindfulness and intentionality in travel, while addressing critical challenges like cultural appropriation, sustainability, and the commercialisation of sacred sites. Aimed at both academics and industry professionals, the international team of authors emphasises the importance of respect, responsibility, and cultural sensitivity, fostering global empathy and personal transformation through well-guided spiritual exploration.
