Call for Papers on Sacred Site Visitation: Policies, Experiences and Commercialisation Special Session at the Internat ional Conference on Tourism ( ICOT 2011) Tourism in an Era of Uncertainty Organised by Dr. Filareti Kotsi, Hellenic Open University, Greece and Dr. Konstantinos Andriotis, Cyprus University of Technology, Cyprus Rhodes Island, Greece 27th – 30th April 2011 In order to complement the regular program with emerging topics of particular interest, the ICOT 2011 Conference on “Tourism in an Era of Uncertainty” will include a Special Session on “Sacred Site Visitation: Policies, Experiences and Commercialisation”. This Special Session focuses on the hybrid nature of religious tourism and the tourism-pilgrimage dichotomy as well as on the intersecting journeys of tourists and pilgrims within the context of the same sacred site. This session offers the opportunity to study the sacred site visitation in an interdisciplinary way bringing together researchers who share interest in religious tourism but come from different fields of study such as ethnography, anthropology, sociology, psychology, geography, as well as management sciences and economic related fields. The discussion is open to researches from western and eastern cultures (Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism) and the aim is to combine research from a variety of sacred sites, of either well-known or less known places.
