Sažetak
Inspired by the powerful, and easily detectable, growing interest in pilgrimage as a type of religious tourism in Bosnia and Herzegovina, especially in the post-war period, this paper examines ihe hypothesis that this type ol tourism significantly impacts local and regional development. This paper focuses on the Mary's shrine in Međugorje, pilgrimage to Podmilačje, Ajvatovica and other traditional Muslim pilgrimage sites. The number of jobs generated, both directly and
indirectly, as well as other indicators of changes in the level of economic or overall development (infrastructure, income, communications, openess, etc) measures the impact of these activities.
