Abstract: Tourism and religion are two increasingly interconnected notions in many cultural contexts in the future, given the popularity and flexibility of both activities. Religious tourism is the pioneering form of tourism that began almost with the beginning of mankind. Since ancient times, religious destinations have not only been a part of the cultural landscape, but have also become a vital factor in local marketing and the economy of hosted destinations. The purpose of this article is to give an outline of a meta-analysis, which reflects the key areas of the perspective of the academic impact of the connection of religion and tourism, to generate a conceptual framework that may be useful to decision-makers in the industry, to understand the effects of and dimensions of religious tourism as well as the factors that affect the growth in religious tourism.
