WRTA Offers Discount Membership-Expo Package to Travel Agents

Littleton, CO (PRWEB) March 5, 2008 -- The World Religious Travel Association (WRTA) has launched a 90-day New Year/New Clients campaign for travel agents that offers WRTA membership and registration for the World Religious Travel Expo 2008 at substantially discounted prices. During this 90-day period, travel agents can save $50 on the Expo fee or $100 if they decide to also join WRTA. Agents who belong to a consortium can save $75 on the Expo fee or $150 if they decide to also join WRTA.

"In a year of economic uncertainty, our New Year/New Clients program provides travel agents an opportunity to expand their client base through one of the industry's fastest growing and most lucrative markets: faith-based travel," said Kevin J. Wright, WRTA President. "This very generous and dynamic offer provides agents with concrete venues to gain education, networking opportunities, and direct exposure to cruise and tour suppliers, and the 200 million-plus North American religious market."

This special 90-day offer applies for any agent registration made from March 1- May 31, 2008.

In the previous year, international religious travel by Americans grew a record 36%; religious travel in 2008 is poised for another year of tremendous expansion. Every sector of faith tourism is experiencing growth, including tour operators, cruise lines, travel agencies, motorcoach companies, hotel properties and tourist destinations.

By joining the World Religious Travel Association, agents can take advantage of networking opportunities, religious market business resources, and increased publicity within the religious travel industry - in addition to displaying the WRTA membership logo on promotional materials, signifying affiliation with the leading faith tourism organization. By attending the World Religious Travel Expo & Educational Conference 2008, travel agents can develop key partnerships, meet qualified prospects, find new suppliers, attend market-specific workshops and discover how to enter or expand their presence in faith tourism.

WRTA Expo exhibitors will cover all sectors of faith tourism. Major tour operators and cruise lines already registered include Carnival Cruise Lines, Holland America Line, Trafalgar Tours, Globus Family of brands, Collette Vacations, Goway, CIE Tours International, and MTS Travel. Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) will exhibit and conduct an agent seminar program during the Expo's Educational Conference. Additional workshops will include sessions focused on understanding and tapping into faith-based travel; creating business plans; group and FIT sales; and sourcing and expanding business. The Expo will be held October 29-November 1, 2008 at the Gaylord Palms Resort Hotel & Convention Center in Orlando, Florida.
