Developments
in the scope of technology,without an exemption of all national
boundaries, bring people close together. Since the discovery of
writing, perheps 9.000 or 10.000 years ago, certain places in the
world were the grounds for close contacts among different cultures,
civilizations and religions.
The foundations of the various ancient civilizations' on the
lands of Anatolia, the settlement of the disples during the first
quarter of Christianity in Anatolia or that of Jewish people who
were subjected to the policy of annihilation in their homelands
during the Mediaeval Ages inevitably provided the Anatolian region
to embody various synagogues and churches besides the Islamic works
of arts belonging to the Turkish nations.
The fact that these works of art that have attained to our times
as a result of our nations' notion of respect and high esteem to
other religions enable Turkey to gain an advantageous position
among the other countries.
The evaluation of the interests of people to visit religious
centers out of the consideration of regular fulfilments can be
identified as Faith Tours in the scope of tourism phenomenon.
