臺灣向來以宗教文化名聞遐邇，近年來又廣推宗教觀光主題式之深度旅遊於觀光市場，在追求舒展身心、獲取心靈成長之目的下，參與宗教觀光之遊客正以倍增趨勢上升。雖然宗教觀光是種亙古旅遊方式，但對於經營宗教觀光活動而言，如何將活動包裝使消費大眾接受，並滿足前往遊客之需求以提高滿意度，卻是一種新的思維。此外，宗教觀光活動之成功並不單一取決於參與遊客，而是建立在參觀者、廟方人員、陣頭活動人員。爰此，本研究將經由宗教觀光活動調查，瞭解參觀者參與活動之旅遊動機是不期而遇、走馬看花或無特定原因；廟方人員之動機則站在主辦單位之立場，本身對於宗教文化具有相對程度之信仰，透過參與宗教觀光提升自我；陣頭人員希望透過宗教觀光可欣賞更多表演，在切磋學習下進而增廣見聞與豐富自己之經驗。是故，宗教觀光與一般觀光旅遊動機是不同的，較著重於藝文知性之動機。陣頭活動人員對於「參與後，可更進一步了解臺灣的宗教文化」及「有提供活動路線至各活動場地的明確路標」最為滿意與重視；廟方人員對於「設立醫護站供遊客使用」及「有安排活動接駁車」最為滿意與重視；顯示不同參與者對於活動內容的重視焦點不同。 Taiwan has always been famous for religious tourism, and it become the subject-depth tourism recently.
