 Benefits of Christian Group TravelÂ
These are just a few of the benefits you’ll enjoy as a CTP group leader: Â
  Specifically, why travel with CTP?
Becoming a Tour Leader Is Easier than You Think! Customize your tour and travel free as a CTP group leader. Our experienced staff will guide you through the planning stages and will personally assist you until departure. You will be surprised how easy it is to make your tour a reality—and a success! How do I begin organizing my tour? The most important factor in the success of your tour is your own unconditional decision that you are going to travel and that you are going to take a group of your parishioners, ministry supporters, and other friends with you. Once you have taken this step of faith yourself-the rest is easy. Experience shows that it is best not to make your commitment conditional on others agreeing to go with you. For example, one pastor made his trip conditional on having seven other couples go with him. But the commitment was so tentative that it discouraged potential travelers. A key element in the success of your tour is to delegate one or two individuals as Tour Coordinators. These would be individuals who you know would like to join the tour and who would help you in the recruitment of others. Once selected, allow these Tour Coordinators to assist you with the activities outlined on pages 8 and 9. As the group grows, you may even want to include these individuals in the benefit package or free travel offers. What are my responsibilities as the Pastor Host/Group Leader? A Pastor Host/Group Leader with CTP recruits tour members, serves as group leader at the airports and leads the group as its spiritual leader. The Pastor Host/Group Leader has no obligation as Tour Guide, because a professional Tour Director accompanies all CTP tours. |
