Abstract: Religious tourism refers to travel for religious or spiritual purposes, such as pilgrimages or visits to sacred places. It is not a new concept, especially as far as pilgrimages are concerned, since the first of them would have taken place as early as the 10th century BC in Jerusalem, with the construction of Solomon's temple. If pilgrimages were for a long time reserved for people from the highest spheres of society, who then combined religion, culture, and leisure to enjoy their travel, this is no longer the case today. The democratization of religious tourism generates increasingly massive flows of pilgrims, which poses huge logistical problems, but also security, in the sacred places of reception. This article uses the example of the Hajj in Mecca to highlight these problems and the technological and managerial innovations that can be used to solve them and suggests important research avenues.
