CHAPTER 6 CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS<br />
of <strong>Santiago</strong> de Compostela, his<strong>to</strong>ry of the <strong>Way</strong> of <strong>Santiago</strong> or the analysis<br />
about the type of <strong>to</strong>urists that visit the city.<br />
• After the analyses of the variables, one of the conclusions is the increase of<br />
non religious <strong>to</strong>urists, or <strong>to</strong>urists with a weak religious belief in<strong>to</strong> this<br />
religious destination, <strong>Santiago</strong> de Compostela. <strong>The</strong>refore, would be<br />
recommendable further research in another pilgrimage sites or another<br />
religious <strong>to</strong>urism destination in order <strong>to</strong> compare the results and get further<br />
conclusions <strong>to</strong> make possible check if this increase is happening in other<br />
religious destinations. As the present case-study has been done in <strong>Santiago</strong> de<br />
Compostela using only fac<strong>to</strong>rs concerning Christianity, would be strongly<br />
recommendable a research on religious sites from other religions.<br />
• <strong>The</strong> present research has only interviewed <strong>to</strong>urists, therefore would be also<br />
recommendable <strong>to</strong> make further research, interviewing people in charge of<br />
the hotel industry, travel agencies, <strong>to</strong>ur opera<strong>to</strong>rs, and people in charge of<br />
fomenting the <strong>to</strong>urism in <strong>Santiago</strong> de Compostela and its surroundings.<br />
