Dear colleagues,

I would like to draw your attention to my latest Book:

''Shrine Pilgrimage in Northeastern Iran: A Study on the Forms,

Impacts, and Significants of the Visits''

series: Tourismus - Beiträge zu Wissenschaft und Praxis

Bd. 8, 2015, 200 S., 44.90 EUR, br., ISBN 978-3-643-90568-0

One of the most obvious and striking features of Iran is the presence

of numerous shrines. Millions of Iranians come to visit these shrines,

which besides religious and spiritual significances have enormous

cultural, historical or architectural importance for their visitors.

Among the most important shrines in Northeastern Iran, is the shrine

of Khaled Nabi, which occupies a special position among Iran's Turkmen

minority. This work seeks to gain an understanding about the general

approach of the visitors to Khaled Nabi as a religious pilgrimage

and/or a secular tourism destination.

Thanks and best wishes

Mehdi
