Many of the researchers have explained its different types in their own perspectives. Within the boundaries of modern scientific society, modern religious tourism can be classified into two major types. One is pilgrimage and the other one is intellectual learning excursions. The second main category has two branches. These intellectual learning excursions are based on two mottos of the tourists. One is regarding the scientific know-how, and the second one is regarding attending the religious-cultist events.
