An American Evangelical Pilgrimage to Israel: A Case Study on Politics and Triangulation

Yaniv Belhassen

Carla Almeida Santos

University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign, Illinois

This article examines the political dimensions of American evangelical pilgrimages to Israel by using the methodological technique known as data triangulation. Based on evidence from primary and secondary data, the article illuminates (1) how tourism is used by pilgrims to promote their theological visions that have some political ramifications to the host country and (2) how the political circumstances in the state of Israel engender a noteworthy relationship between an extreme right party from Israel and the pilgrims. The findings regarding the political dimensions are organized around four functions achieved by using data triangulation. In so doing, this article attempts to provide new theoretical insights regarding the philosophical premises and the purposes traditionally related to the use of data triangulation in tourism research.

Key Words: politics • data triangulation • pilgrimages
