Tourists’ Satisfaction Towards Religious Tourism In Nagapattinam District Of Tamilnadu

Abstract

Tourism is a collection of activities, services, and industries that provide a travel experience, such as transportation, lodging, dining and drinking establishments, retail shops, entertainment businesses, activity facilities, and other hospitality services offered to individuals or groups travelling away from home. Tourists are people who "travel to and stay in places outside their usual environment for leisure, business, or other purposes for no more than one consecutive year," according to the World Tourism Organization. Religion has been a driving force in tourism since antiquity and continues to be so today. Every religion imposes some responsibilities on its adherents that include travel and tourism. Hindus want to visit Kasi (Benaras), Rameswaram, Kanniyakumari, and Badrinath, among other places. Muslims perform Haj pilgrimages to Mecca and Madina, which are considered holy sites. The Christian pays a visit to Jerusalem and the Vatican at least once in their lives, which is considered auspicious. Domestic tourism is almost non-existent in India. So, present study focused on satisfactions of touristic and problems faced by tourist as well.
