Globus Hosts National Religious Travel Symposium
Globus this fall is hosting its Second Annual National Religious Travel Symposium as a way to educate travel agents on this $1 billion market. For the first time, the symposium will travel to four cities including Chicago on Sept. 25, Washington D.C. on Sept. 29, Dallas on Oct. 26, and Los Angeles on Nov. 16.
“Through this symposium, travel agents will learn about the religious travel market and its make-up,” said Kevin Wright, Globus’ religious travel manager. “They will also gain additional marketing and sales tips enabling them to capitalize on this lucrative, yet underserved tourist segment.” Speakers will include Wright; Mike Shields, Globus director of group sales and emerging markets; Honnie Korngold, president of Christian Travel Finder; and Father Allan Weinert, a pilgrimage chaplain. Registration is now open. The cost is $199 and includes conference entrance, one night’s lodging, breakfast, lunch and other key resources including a copy of Wright’s religious travel guidebook. For day attendees only, a $69 fee includes all of this except lodging.
Attendees will also receive a tutorial session highlighting online travel agent materials including template letters to religious leaders, PowerPoint presentations of religious tours, shrines, terminology and a Religious Travel Business Plan template for travel agencies. International tourist boards will also attend and highlight their religious travel destinations through a variety of exhibits. For more information or to register, call 800-851-0728, ext. 7094, or visit www.globusfaith.com/symposium.
