Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine shaman rituals in the context of culture and activity tourism. After the millennium, the tourism industry and, accordingly, international travel arrives are increasing. The most important source of this increase is dynamic demand whose demands are constantly changing. Destinations strive to respond to this dynamic demand by creating appropriate sources of supply. The fact that the world is integrated with the globalization process and has a standardized image has increased curiosity and interest in values that are old, traditional and authentic. In this context, it can be said that Shaman rituals, which include the practices of an ancient, traditional and authentic belief system, have also become an important source of tourism activities. According to the results of this study, which is based on conceptual analysis, there is a concept called shamanic tourism. In this tourism type, tourists become a part of the rituals with the shaman by hallucinating with the effects of some substances they take. However, there are also examples where shaman rituals, which have a strong cultural representation aspect, are observed by tourists as activities. It is estimated that this method will become widespread throughout the world.
