Sažetak
Religious tourism has emerged as a reflection of human needs for knowledge, consolation and understanding of the world through the prism of faith. Thus, the development of religious tourism can be traced back to ancient times. Throughout Europe there are many famous Marian shrines. Religious tourism has several forms, and it is certainly important to emphasize pilgrimage to the miraculous apparition of the Virgin Mary (egg. Fatima, Lourdes). This paper examines the motivations for participation in religious tourism in the parishes of Medjugorje, Sinj and Blizna Gornja with the aim of understanding the extent to which religious motives of tourists are universal, and to what extent specific and related to a particular destination of religious tourism. The results suggest an unequal representation of universal motifs among visitors of selected destinations, but also the great variety of specific motives in deciding which religious tourism destination is worth visiting.
