Traditionally, pilgrimage is an attempted travel for religious purposes. Although outwardly, it is a visit to a religious sanctuary, it is actually a religious event for religious loyalty or spiritual healing. However, the purpose of pilgrims visiting Santiago and Jerusalem, which are representative pilgrimage sites, is different. The reason is not independent of the historical background in which the two regions were designated as places of pilgrimage. In other words, the location characteristics of the two regions are different. If Jerusalem is purely religious, then Santiago is mainly for tourism, healing and self-reflection. Santiago is often visited for personal reasons, such as tourism and experiences, rather than for religious reasons. However, as the pilgrimage was approached from an economic point of view, the boundaries between religion and secularism became blurred. Although the pilgrimage on the way to Santiago has become less religious today, it still has a religious character. The 12 apostles pilgrimage route to Soakdo and the starting point of Sinan, Jeollanam-do is the result of creating new cultural contents by linking the local cultural heritage of Shinan with the 12 apostles of Christianity. Although the pilgrimage route to Santiago was the motif of the 12 Apostles in Sinan, the religiousness and popularity of the pilgrimage was significantly reduced. Therefore, reinforcement of new content is necessary. This is the focus of this study. You have to think about what you want to present to your visitors. It showed the potential of tourism content by providing a space for contemplation, but it is insufficient. It is specialized as a place that provides time and space for reflection to modern people who are trapped in the sea and isolated islands. Therefore, this study empirically proves the existence of the pilgrimage route of the 12 apostles in Shinan and examines the originality and differentiation of the pilgrimage route of the 12 apostles in Shinan. Finally, we will look at what needs to be supplemented in terms of sustainability.
