WRTA & NTA Partnership

WRTA is pleased to announce that the 2010 World Religious Travel Expo & Educational Conference will be held in conjunction with the 2010 NTA Annual Convention.

In 2008, WRTA and NTA entered a unique agreement, in which the associations began working together to educate their members on the value of the faith-based market and bring new business opportunities to the members of both organizations. 

Through the agreement, WRTA aligns itself with NTA's strength and position in the packaged travel industry. NTA, an organization of tour operators, tour suppliers and destinations, has a highly-respected reputation for managing top quality conferences. The association brings that experience and brand power to WRTA's Expo enhancing the experience for the members of both organizations.

As part of the relationship, NTA and WRTA hope to expand the overall growth of the travel industry through faith tourism, bringing both memberships opportunities for education and professional development. Faith-based tourism is an $18 billion market and currently 35 percent of NTA tour operators offer religious tour product.
