Is religion simply a part of culture? Can religious diversity be managed as a subset of intercultural diversity? This article explores intercultural dialogue and its relationship to "religion' in the policies, documents and debates of the European Community. The argument is advanced that religious realities and concerns are misconstrued when religion is subsumed into culture. Religion needs to be historically and conceptually rethought and that for cultural and religious diversities to be skillfully managed in the interests of social solidarity and positive intercommunal relations both need to be addressed discretely and in tandem.1

The principle behind this book is to demonstrate to the reader the range of elements that come in to play when one considers themes such as conflict, religion and culture in relation to tourism. The book provides an assessment of the increasing linkages and interconnections between religious tourism and secular spaces on a global stage. The book is presented in three main parts. Part I is comprised of four theoretical chapters that lay the foundation of the book. Part II provides four chapters on places were followers of particular faiths can once again celebrate their beliefs after restrictions and laws have been relaxed or removed. Thus, while all of the chapters discuss historical situations whereby religious and pilgrimage activities were in conflict with the status quo, nowadays, these locations are developing burgeoning religious tourism products. Part III presents a set of five chapters, outlining various conflicts related to religious tourism and pilgrimage, all with an interesting connection to the concept of 'other'.
