| dc.description.abstract | The article examined the linkages between the growth of religious tourism and its multidimensional impacts on national cohesion and economic development in countries over time. It particularly examined how the burgeoning influence of religious tourism has impacted and redefined the linear economic model, by providing an alternative source of income in the economy and its effect on the achievement of national cohesion in multi-ethnic and religious societies like Nigeria. The article employed a desk review of extant literature on the discourse. Data collected were analyzed using thematic content analysis. The article averred that the development of religious tourism is germane in the quest to unlock the country’s latent tourism potential. The study concludes that efforts be made to increase private investment in the development of critical infrastructures in the country, and also suggests that inter-faith dialogue and the inclusion of the benefits of religious tourism into early years school’s curriculum should be encouraged in driving the needed growth in the RT sector. The government also has to provide a policy framework to guide the strategic growth of the sector | |
