Economy and religious tourism

The phenomenon of pilgrimages to Marian Sanctuaries

Economy and religious tourism

Abstract

Há séculos as peregrinações estão presentes no cristianismo. Para os católicos é indiscutível a importância das devoções e visitações aos Santuários marianos. O número de pessoas que visitam e peregrinam a esses espaços influenciam a economia local. Para compreeder os determinantes economicos do turismo religioso mariano foram estudados dois Santuários, nomeadamente, Aparecida (Brasil) e Fátima (Portugal). Dado o grande acervo de informações estatísticas do santuário português, verificou-se, através do modelo Vector Autoregressive, que o Produto Interno Bruto e o Desemprego influenciam unidirecionalmente as peregrinações. O modelo Autoregressive Distributed Lag revelou que o aumento do Produto Interno Bruto e das chegadas internacionais no curto prazo impactam positivamente o número de peregrinos. Por meio da regressão Ordinary Least Squares foram encontradas relações estatísticas significantes entre fatores climáticos (volume de chuva e temperatura média) e visitantes no Santuário de Fátima. O método de previsão Sazonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average foi aplicado nas séries (i) número de visitantes mensais do Santuário de Aparecida; e (ii) número de peregrinos no Santuário de Fátima. Os resultados revelam uma forte sazonalidade e que os primeiros e últimos meses do ano são os períodos de baixa procura. Os resultados deste estudo permitem um novo olhar para o turismo religioso no contexto mariano, os resultados empíricos permitem que os responsáveis por estabelecerem políticas públicas, agentes do turismo e a administração dos Santuários direcionem suas ações. Ações planejadas e executadas em conjunto entre os diversos agentes podem beneficiar os residentes, visitantes, peregrinos, o setor do turismo e os próprios Santuários.

By centuries pilgrimages are present in Christianity. For Catholics, the importance of devotions and visits to the Marian sanctuaries is indisputable. The number of visitors and pilgrims to these temples makes the local economy an important destination for religious tourism. In order to understand the economic determinants of religious tourism, two sanctuaries were studied, namely, Aparecida (Brazil) and Fatima (Portugal). Given the large collection of statistical information of the Portuguese Sanctuary, it was verified through the Vector Autoregressive model that Gross Domestic Product and Unemployment cause unidirectional the pilgrimages. The Autoregressive Distributed Lag model revealed that the increase in Gross Domestic Product and international arrivals in the short term positively impacts the number of pilgrims. Through the Ordinary Least Squares regression, significant statistical relationships between climatic factors (rain volume and average temperature) and visitors in the Sanctuary of Fatima were found. The Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average forecast method was applied to the number of monthly visitors to the Sanctuary of Aparecida and to the number of pilgrims in the Sanctuary of Fatima, the results show a strong seasonality and that the first and last months of the year are periods of low demand. The results of this study allow a new look at religious tourism in the Marian context, the empirical results allow those responsible for establishing public policies, tourism agents and the administration of the Sanctuaries to direct yours actions. Measures planned and executed jointly between the various agents can benefit residents, visitors, pilgrims, the tourism sector and the Sanctuaries themselves.
