“…Spritual sebagai pengalaman yang mengesankan dalam wisata budaya konsisten dengan penjelasan Norman (2012) tentang wisata spiritual sebagai retret, sebagai penyembuhan dan pengalaman kolektif, juga termasuk di dalamnya sebagai pengalaman yang sangat pribadi dan transformatif, dan sering terjadi dalam lingkungan kolektif dengan orang-orang yang berpikiran sama (Robledo, 2015) Suasana religi menjadi titik sentral dalam spiritual sebagai pengalaman yang mengesankan. Menyesuaikan dengan pengkategorian Cheer et al (2017) bahwa pariwisata religi yang mempunyai makna spiritual terdiri dari beragam kategori yang dapat mencakup praktik, seperti menghadiri festival musik dan acara ritual, berpartisipasi dalam meditasi dan retret yoga, serta kunjungan makam (Cheer et al, 2017).…”

“…Hal ini karena pengalaman religius adalah bukan monopoli terhadap orang-orang yang tidak termasuk pada keyakinan yang dilembagakan atau bahkan keyakinan agama itu sendiri (Hall, 2006). Berdasarkan variasi pengalaman wisata religi, Norman (2012) menciptakan variasi pengalaman wisata spiritualnya sendiri: wisata spiritual sebagai pencarian, sebagai eksperimen, sebagai penyembuhan, sebagai retret, dan sebagai kolektif (Robledo, 2015) Temuan pada tema "spiritualitas" menjadi bagian penting dalam wisata budaya. Fitur dari pengalaman pariwisata ini bisa dibilang merupakan alasan popularitas pengalaman wisata spiritual para wisatawan yang didorong oleh keinginan spiritualitas, serta hendak mengembangkan dan memperdalam keterlibatan transenden selama perjalanan (Cheer et al, 2017).…”

Cultural tourism has an important influence on the development of the tourism industry. The travel experience stories of bloggers written through blogs contributed to the initial introduction and impact of other travel planning tours. It can also be used as a reference by tourism agents. However, the travel experience stories of these bloggers have not been structured as themes and memorable experiences. Whereas the core product of the tourism business is a memorable experience. In the perspective of narrative paradigm theory (NPT), a story or narrative is successful as a human communication capable of forming meaning, if it has coherence and truth. . Therefore, this study aims to reveal the narrative structure told by bloggers. So that the meaning and theme of the cultural tourism experience can be understood as a memorable experience. This study uses a qualitative approach with narrative paradigm theory (NPT). The research data as the unit of analysis was collected from the narrative stories of bloggers published on weblogs. Meanwhile, the principle of the grounded theory approach is aimed at uncovering the narrative themes of bloggers. The results of the study explain the narrative of bloggers in cultural tourism that is told through blog pages as narrative rationales because there is coherence and truth so that they form meaning as a positive, enjoyable, and satisfying experience. The category of cultural tourism that bloggers often visit is the category of cultural heritage, such as museums, temple sites, and old buildings, as well as local or traditional villages. The results of this study also found that a series of blogger narratives formed the theme of memorable experiences through cultural tourism, such as spirituality, intellectual national identity, and local uniqueness. Overall this research reveals, the rational structure of the narrative in the blogger's narrative explains the meaning of an impressive experience in cultural tourism as a positive, pleasant, and memorable view that tourists remember after visiting a destination that is categorized as cultural tourism, retold in the form of a story.

“…As their time back in the West increased, the participants faced the challenge of whether to support their new identities and sense through further ayahuasca tourism or to reject these aspects as just a temporary escape from mundane life (Robledo, 2015). At the heart of this question, was what to remember, and what to forget (Marcoux, 2017).…”

“…However, and before this study, little was known about the fairy tale elements of ayahuasca tourism, and the extent to which tourists try to remember or forget about their experiences when they return home (Holman, 2011;Marcoux, 2017). From the author's seven-year experience as an ayahuasca tourist (Kottak, 2006), it seemed that single tourist journeys rarely guarantee long-term transformations (Chandler, Holden & Kolandar, 1992), and might just be a temporary escape from everyday life (Cohen, 1996;Lean, 2009;Robledo, 2015;Robledo & Batle, 2015). Considering that identity change is a key motivation for ayahuasca tourists (Dean, 2018), unpacking this journey may allow strategies to be developed to allow tourists to more easily reintegrate into their former mundane lives and potentially undertake further tourism.…”

The form of religious tourism which is widely followed by the Muslims of Indonesia is to follow a pilgrimage to the tomb of the wali (Guardian), both wali limo and wali songo. Design/methodology/approach This study used a qualitative approach. Data collection was done using in-depth interviews of Muslims in Indonesia who had already attended pilgrimages to wali limo and/or wali songo.
