Religious tourism is one of the earliest forms of tourism in the Asia Pacific region. Religious tourism has become a much larger and widely segmented industry in the recent years. Most of the communities believe that religious tourism is only applied to major pilgrimage destinations. However, religious tourism is not destination oriented.

Religious tourism not only means travelling to holy destinations; it could also mean as travelling for a humanitarian cause. Religious trips can be a prime objective of the journey, but it can also be a part of a voyage to a destination with other attractions as well. It is not necessary that a traveller should belong to some religion to travel to a particular religious spot.

Religious tourism is one of the fastest growing segments of the travel and tourism industry in the Asia Pacific region. There are mainly two kinds of tourists of religious travel in the Asia Pacific region. One – domestic tourists who have a spiritual attachment with the destinations in line with their religious beliefs and two – foreign tourists who have the curiosity to experience a spiritual experience different from their own.

Religious tourism can be divided into several categories such as religious retreats, pilgrimages, leisure vacations, conventions and rallies, faith-based camps, monastery visits and guest stays, and other religious tourist attractions.
