Lastly, this work will discuss the various emergent prospects, themes, trends, and challenges that will emerge on the paths of the recovery of religious events and pilgrimage tourism post-COVID-19. This work is theoretical in nature and can be classified as a viewpoint article that follows a conceptual research design.
