We have two exciting new pilgrimages coming in 2011

Footsteps of Paul Tour of Greece and Turkey

This is an amazing journey experiencing the sights and sounds of early Christianity as you journey and cruise to various destinations associated with the missionary journeys of the Apostle Paul. Our 15 day itinerary is an ideal way to take in the highlights of New Testament Greece and Turkey. Major destinations include Athens, Corinth, Philippi, Thessalonika and Rhodes. We will stop on Patmos where the Apostle John wrote the book of Revelation and travel on to Turkey to visit the seven churches of the Revelation.

At Mission Travel we are always looking to offer the most extensive range of faith-based tours and pilgrimages. Take a look at the attached article where Kevin .J. Wright, president of the World Religious Travel Association,writes for Leiusre Travel Group highlighting the top 10 emerging faith-based travel destinations for 2010 and beyond. He sets out to answer 3 main questions:

1. Which places are up and coming in religious tourism?

2. Which destinations still remain hidden gems in the religious market?

3, Which sites will one day become the preferred choices of the religious traveler, yet still need to be developed and branded as such?

Choices range from as far apart as Armenia and India, Syria and Poland. While Quebec, Canada is included as it is hosting the World Religious Travel Expo in 2010, these are predominantly countries whose leaders are beginning to recognise their rich religious heritage and opening it to the world.
