The detrimental impact of the COVID-19 on the world has ensued unrest amongst people. The reverberations of the life-threatening virus are conspicuous in all realms of life culminating in physical and psychological disturbance. The fear of loss of life, threatened livelihood and enforced seclusion has resulted in psychological morbidities. The existing literature demonstrates the positive effects of spirituality and religion in the life of someone mentally ailing as an efficient way of coping with problems. Spirituality is believed to provide positive emotions such as hope, courage and perspective to individuals. The current article based on a review of the literature highlights the burgeoning of post-pandemic spiritually-inclined travel to restore the balance of life. It adds to current knowledge on the effect of the pandemic on the human psyche and the mitigating effects of spirituality. The results also allow better marketing, management, and design techniques for the spiritual tourism product by providing knowledge on tourist behaviour post-pandemic. The conclusions from the review aim to evoke governments to accord more attention towards the mental health of individuals and advance programmes to help the distressed. (original abstract)

Szkodliwy wpływ COVID-19 na świat wywołał wśród ludzi niepokój. Skutki wybuchu pandemii choroby spowodowanej zabójczym wirusem są widoczne we wszystkich sferach życia, a zwłaszcza w nadszarpniętym zdrowiu ludzi - fizycznym oraz psychicznym. Strach przed śmiercią, przed utratą środków utrzymania, jak również przymusowa izolacja doprowadziły do wystąpienia licznych powikłań natury psychicznej. Dostępne publikacje wskazują na wartościowy wpływ duchowości i religii (jako skutecznych sposobów na radzenie sobie z problemami) na życie osób niedomagających psychicznie. Wierzy się, że duchowość zapewnia ludziom pozytywne uczucia, w tym nadzieję i odwagę, a także dystans emocjonalny. Na podstawie przeglądu dostępnej literatury przedmiotu w niniejszym artykule został omówiony temat podróży duchowych rozwijających się po epidemiach, mających na celu przywrócenie życiowej równowagi. Opracowanie stanowi wkład w poszerzenie obecnej wiedzy odnośnie do wpływu pandemii na ludzką psychikę oraz uspokajającego oddziaływania duchowości. Wyniki analizy mogą pomóc w lepszym marketingu, zarządzaniu oraz opracowaniu metod projektowania produktu turystyki duchowej dzięki udostępnieniu wiedzy dotyczącej przypuszczalnych zachowań turystów po zakończeniu pandemii. Wnioski wyciągnięte z przeglądu literatury mają na celu skłonić rządy do zwrócenia większej uwagi na zdrowie psychiczne obywateli oraz do przygotowania programów pomocowych dla osób, którym doskwiera ból natury psychicznej.
