Religious Tourism is one of the fastest growing sectors of the tourism market, says Globus, an international tour company that offers 20 faith-based itineraries, up from 8 in ‘04. It has become a $1 billion industry. Driving forces are: 8 million more people identified as Christians and 45% more Americans traveling overseas today than 10 years ago, plus people of faith increasingly want a personal experience of their faith.
