In response to the ever increasing Religious Travel Market,

Sand & C Travel offers new vacation options

Boynton Beach, FL– According to a recent Religious Travel Study conducted by Menlo Consulting Group, 4.5 million people have traveled internationally on a religious or faith-based vacation. That number is expected to increase exponentially in the next five years: The same study revealed that by 2012, an additional 9.7 million will have traveled internationally on religious journeys.

In order to meet this growing demand, Sand & C Travel has partnered with the world's leading escorted travel company Globus, which in recent years has emerged as an industry and educational leader for religious travel. This effort will serve to broaden and expand our current faith-based travel with providers such as Isram.

“We are very excited about the expansion of this market and look forward to assisting churches and religious groups to travel the world,” said Alan Rosen, the president and owner of Sand & C Travel. ”Our agency will provide an array of travel options for faith-based clients including religious tours, secular vacations, European river cruising, and much more. Sand & C Travel has a full-time group department with extensive experience in working with groups to take care of all the details!”

Highlights of some of our religious vacations include:

• Journey Through the Holy Land: Spiritual. Life changing. Profound and inspiring. There’s no other way to describe the experience of walking in the footsteps of those who started it all, in the land where it all began- Israel. Journey through the Holy Land and be a part of a once in a lifetime experience to trace the lives of those who inspired us all. Also available with a 4 night Jordan extension.
• The Ultimate Family & Bar/Bat Mitzvah Tour: Unique. Profound. Spiritual. This is an excellent way to connect with your faith while also emphasizing and experiencing the meaning and history behind this long standing tradition. Experience the rich culture and history of Israel. Travel to Jerusalem, visit the lowest spot on earth- the Dead Sea, see Tiberias, and Tel Aviv. Connect with current generations of Israelites, while soaking in the past.
• Footsteps of Apostle Paul: A unique way to experience your faith on this combination cruise and land journey. See the rich culture and history of Greece as you trace in the footsteps of the Apostle Paul. Learn about the Seven Churches of Revelation and learn about the Apostle John and his contributions to the writing the last book of the New Testament.
• Jewish Heritage Tour: Travel through Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic and discover the more recent history behind your heritage. Visit various Jewish communities such as the former Jewish Ghetto as well as concentration camps to learn about and understand the people who lived, operated, and suffered there. Learn about the past, how it was that such a tragedy was allowed, how it has molded future generations, and what we can do to prevent such horrors from being repeated. Experience the beauty of these countries and the wonderful culture and contributions of the Jewish people.
• Marian Shrines of Europe: Reconnect with your faith as you visit the most treasured Marian Shrines, Lourdes and Fatima. For over a thousand years pilgrims have been walking the Camino Pilgrim’s Way and on this trip you will have a chance to experience a portion of this famous walk in Santiago de Compostela. A true life-changing experience.
