DEVELOPMENT OF RELIGIOUS TOURISM IN MOSTAR TOURISM-GEOGRAPHICAL REGION

Abstract

Religion has always been a powerful force that has attracted many tourists to destinations around the world. Our country is a place of meeting of different peoples and religions, which has contributed, according to the religious and cultural heritage, to be one of the richest countries in Europe. Four large religious communities in Bosnia and Herzegovina have significant shrines that are visited by tourists from all over the world, although neither the entities nor the states have a strategy for promoting religious tourism. In this paper we will present the representation of religious objects and manifestations of Mostar tourism-geographical region, their tourist valorization and proposal in order to improve this specific form of tourism.
