“…Stoffelen and Vanneste (2015) contribute to an emerging theme of landscapes as tourist products and destinations, arguing they hold natural and cultural assets that can be marketed for tourism as what they refer to as "tourismscape," or a continuum of tourism to landscape. This is similar to Ramsey and Everitt (2007) who, in building on the work of others (e.g., Stanger et al 1997;Graham and Murray 2003;Lois-Gonzalez and Santos 2015), developed a route-based tourism experience in rural Manitoba that combined cultural and natural amenities. In doing so, cultural variety (e.g., Aboriginal, colonial) emerged within common natural landscapes (e.g., prairie agriculture, river valleys).…”

“…Literature on religious pilgrimage addresses satisfaction with amenities (Malodia & Singla, ), satisfaction and loyalty (Eid, ). The motives of both religious and nonreligious tourists to attend religious sites has also been researched (Abad‐Galzacorta et al, ; Battour, Ismail, Battor, & Awais, ; Canoves & Prat Forga, ; Choe, Blazey, & Mitas, ; Lois‐González & Santos, ), although the motives for secular visits have been less studied (Brown, ; Hyde & Harman, ). Additionally, much of this work is qualitative in nature, and thus, it is not designed “to provide information about broad‐scale visitation trends” (Winter, , p. 165).…”

This study presents and tests an empirical model of the antecedents and outcomes associated with secular pilgrimage from a consumer perspective. Informed by the literature on spiritual journeys, religious and secular pilgrimage, consumer literature on personal values, emotions, customer satisfaction and recommendation behaviour, the study proposes that personal values of pilgrims positively affect their motives to partake in the spiritual journey of a secular pilgrimage. Pilgrimage motives positively affect pilgrim satisfaction directly, as well as indirectly through emotions associated with the spiritual pilgrimage experience. Pilgrim satisfaction is also positively affected by attributes of the pilgrimage site and results in an intention to recommend to family, friends and others. The model was tested on a paired sample of visitors attending the pilgrimage site of Gallipoli in Turkey for the annual commemoration of the Australia and New Zealand Army Corps (Anzac) Day. The study results show statistical support for all hypothesized relationships in the theoretical model. Findings of this study contribute an improved understanding of the role of consumer values, motivations and emotions to undertake spiritual journeys to pilgrimage sites and their satisfaction with the spiritual experience of a secular pilgrimage and the resultant recommending behaviour.

“…Studies of the Camino de Santiago, for example, have found that it is the encounters on the path that are the most resonant features, rather than the arrival at the cathedral (Frey, 1998;Lois-González & Santos, 2015;Peelen & Jansen, 2007). Studies of the Camino de Santiago, for example, have found that it is the encounters on the path that are the most resonant features, rather than the arrival at the cathedral (Frey, 1998;Lois-González & Santos, 2015;Peelen & Jansen, 2007).…”

Autoethnography is increasingly being appreciated as a tool to engage with embodied practices and spatial performances by combining the experiences of both participants and researchers. This paper examines its deployment in the study of a walking pilgrimage on the mountain Criagh Patrick in Ireland. The significant growth of pilgrimage in recent decades has prompted the development of concepts and approaches to examine the motivations and experiences involved. Autoethnography enables the researcher to become a co‐participant, getting closer to the processes and substances of the activity. Using vignettes from the performance of the Criagh Patrick pilgrimage, I illustrate how this approach is enacted in the field providing embedded qualitative insight to this socio‐cultural phenomenon. The practical and analytical aspects of this process are discussed, alongside the multifaceted nature of contemporary pilgrimages.
