“旅游+”视阈下的宗教学与旅游学的分途与相遇——宗教旅游学初探

Primary Exploration on Relationship between Religion Science and Tourism Science under the Perspective of “Travel Plus”

宗教学是一门研究世界诸宗教及宗教现象、宗教本质、宗教功能、宗教发展规律的科学。其与研究旅游现象的产生、发展以及一般规律的旅游学似乎没有多大关联。但实质上并非如此,纵观学术界的研究情况,学者们对宗教旅游、宗教与旅游关系等方面的诸多研究恰恰揭示了宗教学与旅游学之间存在着十分微妙的、密切的联系。鉴于此,以国家旅游局局长李金早提出的"旅游+"理念作为视角,探讨宗教学与旅游学的分途与相遇。在此基础上,以"旅游+宗教"的逻辑提出"宗教学+旅游学"的范式,进而明确提出宗教旅游学的概念,即宗教旅游学是研究宗教旅游活动的发生、发展、以及一般规律的社会科学,其应隶属于旅游学范畴,是旅游学的分支学科。然后试图建构宗教旅游学学科体系及研究范围,这对宗教旅游的研究、宗教旅游学学科的创建都有着里程碑的意义和价值。

Religious studies is a science which concentrates on religion in the world and religious phenomenon, religious essence,religious functions, religious development, religious developing laws, which seems not to have much correlation with tourism science. But many scholars＇ researches on religious tourism and the relationship between religion and tourism have revealed quite a subtle and close connection. In view of this, the paper discusses the separate routes and meeting under the perspective of ＂tourism plus＂ put for- ward by Li Jinzao, the director of National Tourism Administration. Based on this, with the logic of ＂tourism ＋ religion＂, pan-system of ＂religious tourism study＂ is presented, further the conception of science of religious tourism is put forward clearly, namely, science of religious tourism is a social science studying the happening, development and universal laws of religious tourism activities, which should belong to the category of tourism science, and a branch of tourism study as well. Afterwards, it tries to construct the religious tourism discipline system and research scope, which is of significance and value of milestone in researching religious tourism and establishing religions tourism science.
