dc.description.abstractReligious tourism serves as a distinct form of cognitive travel by meeting tourists’ epistemological curiosity, enabling them to experience, witness, and participate in religious rituals, ceremonies, and processes while offering opportunities to purchase religious attributes and souvenirs. The main task for authorities managing a religious destination is to ensure a smooth flow through the activities and a safe, healthy, and spiritual journey. In recent years, the integration of smart technology in religious tourism destinations has gained attention as a means to enhance visitor experiences and destination management. This research chapter explores the integration of smart technology in religious tourism destinations and its impact on visitor experiences and destination management. Through a comprehensive literature review and case studies, this study investigates the role of smart technologies in enhancing the authenticity, accessibility, and sustainability of religious tourism experiences. Additionally, the chapter examines the implications of smart technology adoption for destination managers, including challenges, opportunities, and best practices for effective implementation. By addressing these issues, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of the intersection between technology and religious tourism. It offers insights for policymakers and practitioners on how technological innovations can enhance visitor experiences, improve destination management practices, and foster sustainable development within religious tourism destinations.
