Hrončeková Gregorová, Bohuslava, Gregorová, 1982- Pilgrimage tourism - conceptualization and current directions in research from the point of view of geography / Bohuslava Gregorová. -- The study represents a probe into the issue of conceptualization of pilgrimage tourism based on a study of Slovak and foreign literature. Our aim was to present the theoretical and methodological fundamentals of a pilgrimage tourism analysis, including the formulation of basic definitions, application of research methods, identification of tourism system (object, subject, product) and determination of the position of pilgrimage tourism among disciplines of geography The research was based primarily on qualitative paradigms and methodological approaches, which allowed us to approach its holistic understanding. The interdisciplinarity presented through religious and tourism geography, in turn, allowed us to capture the full breadth and depth of the phenomenon of pilgrimage tourism in the sense of an attempt to conceptualize it. The research of religiosity, pilgrimage and pilgrimage tourism was suppressed by the communist regime in the Central European Area and experienced its Renaissance at the end of the 20th century.
