New faith-based travel white paper sees fundraising cruise trend
A new whitepaper on faith-based travel says one of the biggest trends in the niche market is fundraising faith cruising.
The paper, written by religious travel authority, Cindi Brodhecker, and offered for free by Group University a Premium Tourism Marketing Company, says that fundraising faith-based cruises are increasingly incorporated by US faith travelers either as destination cruises to sacred sites or for shared onboard group religious programs.
Other statistics reported in the paper:
— 50,000 churches in the US have religious travel programs
— The Christian Camp and Conference Association states that more than eight million people are involved in CCCA member camps and conferences, including more than 120,000 churches.
— Religious attractions, such as Sight & Sound Theatres, attract 800,000 visitors a year. Holy Land Experience and Focus on the Family Welcome Center each receive about 250,000 guests annually.
