After briefly analysing the characteristics of visitors to holy places, the chapter explores the identity and role of large and small operators, both secular and religious, in the organization of pilgrimages and the management of certain holy places in the Western world. It considers the benefits and the limits of the work they do, as well as the risks and opportunities that ‘modern’ pilgrimage offers the host regions, with reference to some of the most famous and popular European places of pilgrimage such as Pompei and San Giovanni Rotondo, but also some smaller and less popular sites.

After briefly analysing the characteristics of visitors to holy places, the chapter explores the identity and role of large and small operators, both secular and religious, in the organization of pilgrimages and the management of certain holy places in the Western world. It considers the benefits and the limits of the work they do, as well as the risks and opportunities that ‘modern’ pilgrimage offers the host regions, with reference to some of the most famous and popular European places of pilgrimage such as Pompei and San Giovanni Rotondo, but also some smaller and less popular sites.File in questo prodotto:
