Historic World Religious Travel Expo to Debut Next Month

HISTORIC WORLD RELIGIOUS TRAVEL EXPO TO
WELCOME PARTICIPANTS FROM 30 COUNTRIES ON SIX CONTINENTS


Travel providers, tourist boards, and planners from 30-plus countries will gather next month in Orlando, Florida to participate in the first-ever global faith tourism tradeshow and convention. The World Religious Travel Expo & Educational Conference 2008 is expected to welcome 500 delegates, 100 exhibitors, and 50 tourism industry leader speakers.

Destinations, tour operators, cruise lines, attractions, hotel properties, and a host of other providers and planners from Africa, the Americas, Asia, Australia, the Caribbean, Europe and the Holy Land will be represented at this assembly of Who’s Who in the bustling $18 billion faith tourism industry. Travel agents and group planners will have an opportunity to network first-hand with the leading companies in religious travel, while also earning CEU’s by attending the many Expo educational seminars.

Exclusive to this event only, each Expo delegate will receive a Booklet of Special Offers worth thousands of dollars in FAM trips, bonus commissions, gifts, and prizes – all of which are provided by the exhibitors. The cost for a travel agent or group planner to attend is as low as $49. The World Religious Travel Expo will feature two venues: The International Tradeshow and The Educational Conference.

The event will be held Oct. 29-Nov. 1, 2008 at the Gaylord Palms Resort Hotel & Convention Center in Orlando (Florida), with a complimentary optional faith-based attractions excursion on Saturday, Nov. 1.
