“…The Camino de Santiago is a pilgrimage route made up of various ways that, starting from a number of European cities, cross northern Spain before converging on the city of Santiago de Compostela. The Camino de Santiago has existed for more than a thousand years and combines the cult of the shrine of Saint James the Great with cultural consumption (Tilson, 2005). The Camino is inextricably linked with heritage tourism and to a continuous reimaging of culture that draws its inspiration from nostalgia, memory, and tradition.…”

“…Pope Callistus II initiated a Jubilee or Holy Year Privilege in 1119, granting a plenary indulgence and other spiritual rewards to travelers who visited St. James's tomb in a year when the Feast of St. James falls on a Sunday (Tilson, 2005). Among other religious practices, pilgrims achieve indulgence by passing through the Holy Door, which is open only during Holy Years.…”

Many studies have found that the perceived authenticity of cultural and religious events affects event satisfaction and loyalty. Little is currently known about how perceived authenticity is affected by the quality of other event attributes, such as food and the availability of information, which are independent determinants of satisfaction and loyalty. This article explores this complex relationship using empirical data collected through a survey conducted during the 2010 Holy Year in Santiago de Compostela. A total of 400 questionnaires were analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling (SEM). The results of our analysis of the 2010 Holy Year provide support for the effect of event perceived authenticity on event satisfaction, and they also indicate that event perceived authenticity does not have a direct impact on event loyalty. Instead, its relationship to the intention to revisit is mediated by event satisfaction. In addition, the effects of event attributes were assessed for both event satisfaction and perceived authenticity, and significant differences were found.

“…As well, this market growth has led government and tourism officials in a number of countries, particularly in those where religious tourism has become a mainstay of tourism-oriented economies such as India, Saudi Arabia and Israel, to designate and promote religious heritage sites as multi-use tourism attractions at local, regional, and national scales (Olsen 2003;Olsen and Timothy 1999;Shackley 2001a;Tilson 2001Tilson , 2005Timothy 2011: 387).…”

While there has been increasing academic interest in the intersections between religion and tourism and the management of religious heritage sites, there has been little written on how these sites are interpreted to visitors and the religious doctrines or worldviews that frame the interpretational content and methods at these sites. Using the case study of Temple Square in Salt Lake City, Utah, this paper examines the ways in which religious heritage sites are used by 'religions of salvation' (Riesebrodt 2010: 66), specifically The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, to further their salvation-oriented goals. Not only is the 'core business' of religious sites more than just the creation of a 'sense of place' (Shackley 2001a(Shackley , 2001b(Shackley , 2002, but also involves an emphasis on both the maintenance and shifting of religious identities depending on the religious background of the visitor, making religious heritage sites a type of Third Space (Bhabha 1994;Soja 1996).

“…El éxito fue sin duda espectacular. No obstante, se produjo una excesiva turistificación que llevó a una pérdida de los valores tradicionales (Tilson, 2005). Así, a partir del Xacobeo 99 se trató de equilibrar mejor los aspectos comerciales y espirituales.…”
