Religious Tourism and Sustainability in the MENA Region

Antonio Angelucci, Flavia Cortelezzi, Alessandro Cupri

Maison d'édition: Ledizioni

Synopsis

This volume addresses multiple emerging needs, foremost among them the growing demand for a structured theoretical and methodological framework concerning the religious tourism sector. This domain, undergoing continuous expansion, now constitutes a significant component of the global tourism landscape, as demonstrated by data on the halal tourism market, projected to reach a value of approximately $300 billion by 2030. The prospect of such substantial growth underscores the imperative to cultivate specific competencies – skills that integrate a deep sensitivity to cultural and spiritual dimensions with the managerial acumen demanded by today's tourism industry. In a world marked by increasing mobility and a renewed quest for holistic and meaningful experiences, religious tourism emerges as a complex and multifaceted phenomenon. It transcends the traditional notion of pilgrimage to encompass diverse forms of travel motivated by spiritual exploration, the rediscovery of cultural roots, and the appreciation of religiously inspired artistic heritage. In this context, the volume offers a significant contribution to the development of an educational approach to religious tourism – an approach that embraces innovation while
remaining steadfast in its core objective: to prepare professionals equipped to act with competence and ethical awareness in intercultural contexts. The ultimate aim is to transform religious tourism into a genuine space for encounter, mutual understanding, and respectful dialogue in an increasingly polarized and tension-filled global society.

Dinner on Monster Island - Essays

Tania De Rozario

In this unusual, engaging, and intimate collection of personal essays, Lambda Literary Award finalist Tania De Rozario recalls growing up as a queer, brown, fat girl in Singapore, blending memoir with elements of history, pop culture, horror films, and current events to explore the nature of monsters and what it means to be different.
Tania De Rozario was just twelve years old when she was gay-exorcised. Convinced that her boyish style and demeanor were a sign of something wicked, her mother and a pair of her church friends tried to “banish the evil” from Tania. That day, the young girl realized that monsters weren’t just found in horror tales. They could lurk anywhere—including your own family and community—and look just like you.
Dinner on Monster Island is Tania’s memoir of her life and childhood in Singapore—where she discovered how difference is often perceived as deviant, damaged, disobedient, and sometimes, demonic. As she pulls back the veil on life on the small island, she reveals the sometimes kind, sometimes monstrous side of all of us. Intertwined with her experiences is an analysis of the role of women in horror. Tania looks at films and popular culture such as Carrie, The Witch, and The Ring to illuminate the ways in which women are often portrayed as monsters, and how in real life, monsters are not what we think.
Moving and lyrical, written with earnest candor, and leavened with moments of humor and optimism, Dinner on Monster Island is a deeply personal examination of one woman’s experience grappling with her identity and a fantastic analysis of monsters, monstrous women and the worlds in which they live.
