The article at the moment is mainly about Pilgrimage, to which Spiritual tourism already redirects (rightly or wrongly: maybe it should point here instead). 'Religious tourism' could plainly also redirect there, but there seems to be an implicit distinction (which can perhaps be defended from reliable sources) between pilgrimage (travelling purely for religious reasons) and tourism (going to see the religious architecture, art, spectacle, or festival, even if one is not religious). If that is what the article is trying to do, all the pilgrimage aspects should be moved out of the article, or boldly placed in a section with a 'Main' link to 'Pilgrimage' and a brief explanation there that pilgrimage isn't tourism, though it shares some elements (travel, accommodation) with it, as its goal is entirely different. The lack of sources is, as always, a serious problem, as is the (resulting) lack of coherent narrative. The article needs a near-total rewrite. A related article, Christian tourism, suffers from the same lack of clarity: is pilgrimage tourism or not? These should probably be dealt with together.
