Tourists’ spiritual perception through the lens of culture

Tourists’ spiritual perception of travel is the cognition of life; it becomes clear within a cultural context and will finally have a cultural result for the tourist. Culture is not considered as a source, product, or a reference but as a value by itself which makes sense of the philosophy of tourism, divine motion, and nature of man. He interprets his perceptions of the world and realizes the creation of the universe. This research which has been performed in a qualitative way based on description and analysis, the spiritual perception of tourists has been investigated as one of the most important categories of human realization and understanding in the compass of culture. The results indicate that culture is considered as the language of spirituality, intertwined with spirituality, and manifests itself in the core of the tourist’s spiritual perception of travel. A deeper realization of the concept of culture in tourism requires concepts that realize this contemplation. On the other hand, tourism is a motion in the depths of culture and flows inside culture with the tourist’s understanding of self and universe. The spiritual and cultural nature of the tourist’s motion is described within a cultural context based on the tourist’s presumed components, internal truth, external truth, and the tourist’s action, and is linked to culture and ultimately leads to spiritual perception.
