CHoosing a Faith Tour Destination

7/27/2012

Pietrelcina, Italy
Are you planning a Pilgrimage or Church sponsored tour? What destinations draw the interests of most religious travelers? Where do you want to go? Where would your people want to go? Would they want to go where you want to go?

Well, despite ongoing conflict in the Middle East, Israel remained the top religious travel destination this past year, with 58% of potential religious travelers stating that they would be interested in visiting Israel on a religious vacation. Thirty percent cited Italy, and
21% cited England, Egypt and Ireland, respectively (respondents could pick more than one destination). Other top religious travel destinations included Jordan, Germany, the U.S. and France.
In a nutshell, though:

  • Catholics favor visits to the Holy Lands, Italy, Ireland, France, Mexico, and Canada. 
  • Protestants favor the Holy Lands, Germany, United Kingdom, France, and the USA 
  • Jews favor Israel, eastern Europe, and Germany.
