Companies with stakes in faith-based travel are banking on Christian events taking place throughout Europe in 2010.
"2010 is a year that looks to be a very good year in religious tourism," said Kevin Wright, president of the World Religious Travel Association and chairman of the World Religious Travel Expo, which took place in Reno, Nev., this month.
According to the World Religious Travel Association, "Overall, the market has remained relatively steady compared to the rest of the leisure travel industry. Just like every nook and cranny of the tourism industry, everybody took a little bit of a hit. But in that context, religious tourism is holding steady."
