    Competitiveness of pilgrimage tourism destinations

    Of course – I would be happy to post some information on the results once I have concluded my research. I am also looking to extend the research next year to cover other recognized cultural/pilgrimage routes, like the Via Francigena, which I am looking to walk next September. I have enjoy...

    Competitiveness of pilgrimage tourism destinations

    So for you, you felt that having a variety of shopping outlets available on the Camino route was very unimportant. From my own Camino experience, I would agree ie.

    Competitiveness of pilgrimage tourism destinations

    I do appreciate your attempt to answer the survey, Barbara. I think your point about some of the elements not being tightly aligned with pilgrimage destinations is a fair one, but I suppose this is a core reason why I am keen to understand the needs of pilgrims better through this research.

    Thanks for participating, Luka. It is appreciated. And yes, I had a sense (having walked the CF and CP previously) that elements like night life or theatres might not be important for some – they weren’t important for me personally. But of course everyone’s experience and needs differ, hence why...

    I understand your point, JabbaPapa. I hope to do some of the Camino Catalan one day, with a visit to Montserrat high on the agenda.

    Competitiveness of pilgrimage tourism destinations

    Thanks for reaching out, Dick. I personally enjoy heading out on pilgrimage – having walked the CF in both 2018 and 2024, and a little of the CP last year also.

    Fellow pilgrims. As an avid walker of various Caminos, I am always fascinated in the experiences of other pilgrims/tourists, and how their planning and experience on pilgrimage was shaped. As an academic researcher, I am interested in examining the competitiveness of pilgrimage tourism...
