Tourism Cares Partners with Religious Travel Association

Tourism Cares, the tourism industry’s charitable organization for preservation, conservation, restoration and education, formed a partnership with the World Religious Travel Association (WRTA), the global network for the faith tourism industry.

As part of the partnership, WRTA will inform its members many ways they can get involved with the mission of Tourism Cares, such as promoting Tourism Rocks, the NTA Convention Auction or volunteering time at Tourism Cares projects.

Tourism Cares is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit public charity that preserves the travel experience for future generations by awarding grants to natural, cultural and historic sites worldwide; by presenting academic and service-focused scholarships to students of hospitality and tourism; and by organizing volunteer efforts to restore tourism-related sites in need of care and rejuvenation.

World Religious Travel Association (WRTA) is a global network for the $18 billion faith tourism industry. WRTA’s primary purpose is to guide, enrich, and expand religious travel and hospitality around the globe via the trade, consumer, and media.

Its membership is comprised of tour operators, travel agents, group planners, destinations, DMOs, accommodations, attractions, transportation services, media and other key players in the tourism industry.
