Pilgrimages and travel for other religious reasons are two of the major drivers of human mobility. Information and communication technologies (ICTs) can contribute to sharing knowledge about religious heritage with tourists, residents, and religious communities. ICT innovations that help individuals find information and acquire knowledge about cultural heritage can bring new experiences and sensations to tourists and residents, in general, and to those who have accessibility problems, in particular. These innovations include augmented reality, location-based services, social networks, gamification, and intelligent interfaces. This paper focuses on religious and spiritual routes and itineraries, presenting a religious tourism experience model that allows tourists to acquire additional knowledge about cultural and religious heritage, based on technological architecture using intelligent human-computer interactions displayed on personal mobile devices. This approach expands personal and spiritual experiences when travelers visit religious heritage sites associated with itineraries.

RESUMENEl turismo es una de las primeras actividades económicas del mundo, generando directa o indirectamente entre el 10 y el 12% de la riqueza mundial. Durante mucho tiempo, el éxito económico de la actividad turística ha ocultado sus impactos sociales y sus efectos nocivos sobre el medio ambiente, difuminando también las estrechas e intensas relaciones que se dan entre el turismo y las migraciones. Estas relaciones tienen un alcance político y sociológico de gran amplitud. Baste con señalar que los emigrantes provenientes del Sur o Este europeo suelen utilizar el visado turístico para alcanzar su "tierra prometida". El inmigrante procedente del Norte -cada vez más numeroso-es, a menudo, un turista que decide quedarse de forma permanente en el lugar donde elige para vivir. En el actual contexto de la globalización, es oportuno y necesario preguntarse por las relaciones entre turismo y migración, y por el modo como el turismo podría integrar políticamente el fenómeno migratorio a partir de los principios del codesarrollo. El autor sugiere apoyarse en la mirada del sociólogo y del politólogo para analizar los nuevos temas que afectan al turismo, como son las implicaciones de la movilidad social/migración, la libre circulación de las personas y su impacto tanto en los países de origen como en los de destino.

ABSTRACTTourism is one of the first economic activities in the world generating directly and indirectly between the 10 and 12% of world wealth. Its successes have hidden during a long time its social impacts and negative effects on environment, also hiding the narrow and intense relations that occur between tourism and migrations. Be enough with indicating that emigrants coming from the South or the European East usually use a tourist visa to reach their "promised land". Immigrants coming from the North -more and more numerous-are, often, tourists who decide to remain in the place where they have chosen to visit. In the global context it is necessary to analyse the relations between tourism and migration, and the way as tourism could integrate the migratory phenomenon in its sociopolitical dimension from the principles of codevelopment. The author suggests leaning more in the eyes of the sociologist and the political analyst to evaluate the new subjects that affect tourism, such as the implications of social mobility/migration, the free circulation of people and their impact on both developing and developed societies.
