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.
