It's a New Era in Faith Tourism today for travel wholesalers throughout the world. Faith Tourism has evolved from a "niche market" into a full-blown industry of 300 million religious travelers globally. Furthermore, Faith Tourism has grown into a robust and lucrative industry comprised of multi-billion dollar niches and market segments ranging from pilgrimages to leisure vacations to cruising to conferences/events to adventure travel to attractions and much more.

As one of the fastest growing segments of the global travel industry, it is imperative that if a travel wholesaler wishes to stay at the forefront of the burgeoning and competitively growing faith tourism industry, the travel wholesaler must make its presence visibly known in this marketplace and must capitalize on the full kaleidoscope of today's wide variety of faith vacations and travel requests.

Today faith-based travelers are looking for quality, first class travel products.  And they are looking for something new, a more diverse range of travel experiences. Here are some exciting new travel products and opportunities that your company can showcase to the faith consumer: 

The Key Question...

If the answer is "no" and your company is not yet tapping into the fullness of the vast, lucrative and robust faith tourism marketplace, that's where WRTA and the World Religious Travel Expo come into play. As the leading organization dedicated to the entire industry and "infrastructure" of faith tourism, WRTA and Expo 2008 will assist your company in expanding its vision and growth of faith tourism. The result? Your organization will reap the rewards of increased travelers by capitalizing on all segments of today's faith tourism marketplace - while also having a chance to showcase all facets of your company's products and services to the religious travel consumer.  

It is here where you will meet the "Who's Who" in today's faith tourism industry. Only here can your company join hundreds of travel industry professionals and companies at the one event where all segments and industry leading personnel of the $18 billion faith tourism industry meet in person. Only here can you learn how to expand your products and services in order to tap into all segments of the faith tourism industry. And only here can you build your brand direct to the entire faith tourism community, while also showcasing your products and services, developing partnerships, finding new travel providers, strengthening relationships with current suppliers, meeting with customers, generating new qualified leads and building long term profitable relationships within the faith tourism industry. In short, it is the most important event for any travel wholesaler that wishes to enter or expand its presence within the burgeoning faith tourism community. 

Simply put, your company will not be on the radar of the faith tourism industry.  With hundreds of key tour operators, travel agencies, suppliers, and group planners converging in one arena for the first industry-wide faith tourism tradeshow and convention, many of these same tour operators, travel agencies, suppliers, and group planners will be looking to implement or expand their faith vacation portfolios and programs at the World Religious Travel Expo 2008. Any travel wholesaler that is absent from Expo 2008 will be absent from the minds of these agencies and planners specializing in faith tourism. With no presence comes no awareness of your company. And as this fall's Expo serves as a key pivot point between the Old and New Eras of Faith Tourism, Expo 2008 will have implications for years to come as a new generation of leaders, travel wholesalers, and vacations will emerge from this historic event.
