RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 Religious Heritage: Reconciliation between Spirituality and Cultural Concerns A1 Fernández Álvarez, Óscar A1 González González, Miguel A1 Ouali Fernández, Sara A2 Antropologia Social K1 Antropología social K1 Anthropology K1 Heritage K1 Religion K1 Religious tourism K1 5103 Antropología Social AB [EN] Religious heritage has a dual cultural and religious meaning and importance in society. It has a cultural value because it symbolises the history and art of a community, and a religious value because it represents a spiritual hub and home for a community of believers. This article analyses the challenges posed by this association between religious heritage —as both an economic and tourism resource— and cultural heritage. Methodologically, an observation, reflection and analysis of the challenges that are faced are proposed. The results reveal various initiatives for development, protection and enhancement. The discussion revolves around the importance of community involvement and the benefits this brings to various sectors, including economic activity, from the perspective of religious tourism as an aspect of tourism per se, in which a faith and its believers are elements that merit heritage conservation.
