Pilgrim’s progress

Thursday, 25 Jul, 2012 0

A new study by Globus, a major player in religious travel, conducted by TravelStyles says that nearly half (49 percent) of religious travelers view a faith-based vacation as something they have to do to enhance their faith.  Another 51 percent feel more comfortable spending on a religious vacation than a "regular" vacation.

The same study noted that 25 percent of travelers see a faith-based vacation as a reason to travel internationally for the first time.

The survey also reported 35 percent of outbound travelers in the study said they were "interested" in taking a religious vacation; 17 percent hoped to do so in a five year period.

The report says that faith-based travel has grown close to five percent since 2007, while travel in other sectors has dropped.
