More and more Polish travelers go for religious tours. France and Spain are among the most popular destinations, tourism-review.com has revealed.

“Although not the cheapest, religious and spiritual tours are growing in popularity among Polish travelers. Religious traditions are deeply rooted in the lives of Poles and thus traveling to destinations connected to their faith is high in demand.”

According to tourism-review.com, the industry of faith tourism underwent considerable changes in the country. In the past, pilgrimage traveling was mostly associated with pensioners and the prices were quite low. Today, tourists from various social groups want to travel to Rome, Lourdes and Fatima, the most popular faith tourism destination.

“The quality of offered services went naturally up and now full board and quality accommodation are a standard part of a religious tour. Tour guides are usually experienced and have extensive knowledge about the destinations and sights. The level of religious tours is increasing steadily.”

It added that among the popular tour destinations for Polish travelers are various cities in France, Spain and Greece that have some connections to apostles and other Biblical personas. Mexico and Israel are also high in demand.

Tourism-review estimates that the costs for religious trips range from 370 EUR to 750 EUR, Mexico tours are around 1800 EUR – 2250 EUR; religious tours to Israel cost 750 EUR – 1250 EUR.
