Abstract:
Pilgrimages, sacred spaces, natural activities and spiritual retirements are contributors to meaning and identity, but also to the individual’s health and well-being. Spiritual tourism is part of cultural tourism that together with religious tourism is one of the tourism markets, which is experiencing greater growth in Spain. The study aims to demonstrate that spiritual tourism may contribute to a sustainable development for Tarragona Counties. Based on this hypothesis, the author examines some case studies that have in common a link between spiritual tourism and identity of a place. They emerge as examples of spiritual expression that have a significant spiritual base.
