researchers have looked at the more specific question of how
religion and religious observance affect the perception of risk
among tourists and how these risks entail or generate travel
constraints (Crawford, Jackson, and Godbey 1991). Of those
who have, some concluded that those tourists who were religiously
motivated to travel show different risk perceptions
and use different risk-perception mitigation strategies compared
to other market segments (Fuchs and Reichel 2010,
2011). Fuchs and Reichel’s (2004) study found significant
differences in risk perceptions among the tourists visiting
Israel who belonged to different religious affiliations.
