CHAPTER 2 LITERATURE REVIEW Figure 2.4.1 Scale Pilgrim/Tourist Pilgrimage Religious Tourism Tourism A B C D E Sacred Faith / Profane Knowledge – Based Secular A : Pious Pilgrim B : Pilgrim > Tourist C : Pilgrim = Tourist D: Pilgrim < Tourist E: Secular Tourist Source: Smith, ((1992:4) in Collins-Kreiner 2006) In this table can be observed how Smith (1992:4) divides the differences between pilgrim and tourists into five different segments. The Pious Pilgrim, the one who is strongly motivated by his religious beliefs. The pilgrim motivated in big part by the faith. The pilgrim motivated by the faith but also with interest in visiting cultural sites and with another kind of motivations, not only religious motivations. The pilgrim, which is motivated by cultural reasons, with interest in getting to know the religious tradition. And the secular tourist which has no religious influence at all, when choosing the tourist destination. Horner and Swarbrooke (1999) show how the traditional infrastructure of religious tourism has also become an attraction for the non religious tourists, most notably cathedrals and churches. At the same time, due to the growing pressures of life, many non believers are taking short trips to religious establishments for relaxation and spiritual enlightenment. For instance men can visit Orthodox monasteries in Mount Athos in Greece, for a short period, free of charge, providing they abide by the regime of the Monastery.

CHAPTER 2 LITERATURE REVIEW 2.5 Motivation Mountinho (1987: 16) defined motivation as a state of need, as a condition that exerts a push on the individual towards certain types of action that are seen as likely to bring satisfaction. Page (2003) explains how it is important to understand what the tourists desires, needs and looks for from the process of consuming a tourism experience that involves an invest of money, in order to achieve a level of satisfaction. Yet tourist motivation is a complex area dominated by the social psychologists, with their concern for the behaviour, attitudes and thoughts of people as consumers of tourism (Page 2003). For Pearce (1993), in any attempt to understand tourist motivation must be considered the develop of a concept of motivation in tourism, to know what practical measures need to be developed to measure people’s motivation for travel, especially the existence of multi-motivation situations, with more than one factor influencing the desire to engage in tourism. Motivation is an initial point in studying tourism behaviour and beyond that for understanding the systems of tourism (Gunn 1988). Chen (2006) believes that individuals have limited motives and are likely to change their motivation in ascending stages over time. Pearce (2005) explains how the difficulties in studying motivation are considerable. Unlike the frequently measured purpose of travel, which is considered to be public and self-explanatory, the motivations for travel are covert in that they reflect an individual’s private needs and wants. Nevertheless the value of pursuing travel motivation studies can be described as extensive. David Mashhadigholam Rojo 15
