Abstract: At present, religious tourism has an important role on the tourism market because, both nationally and internationally, a significant number of people travel from their place of residence to a specific destination, based on religious reasons. In order to enter the sphere of religious tourism, the purpose of a person's journey must be closely linked to faith and benefit from the tourist services that are found on the tourist market. If a person travels to a certain destination without having to do with faith, but out of the desire to visit religious tourist attractions in order to know more, to complete their cultural capital, then it can’t be religious tourism, but it is about cultural tourism or knowledge The purpose of this paper is to identify religious tourism and its delimitation from other forms of tourism and also to establish the role that religious tourism has on a tourist market such as the tourist market of Romania.
