Abstract
Religious tourism is acknowledged as a fast-growing sector within the tourism business, and
hospitality services’ role in supporting this growth is important. This study used a quantitative
research design to explore the specific function that hospitality services have in promoting religious
tourism. Literature study and the distribution of structured research questionnaires to Redemption
Resort visitors during monthly programs were the methods adopted for the collection of data. The
results show that hospitality services promote religious tourism by providing a safe and comfortable
stay, planning religious activities and ceremonies, and providing regional and traditional foods. The
study also discusses issues like maintaining cultural authenticity and handling religious diversity
that hospitality services must deal with in this situation. The study concludes that hospitality services
are crucial to the growth of religious tourism and have the potential to influence the sector’s overall
expansion significantly.
