About Us
More and more people are looking for travel experiences that have some kind of meaning associated with them. People are seeking to connect in some way with the places they are visiting and to experience it in a variety of ways. The notion of being more than a tourist is widely spreading amongst the travelling public and people now speak much more about "the journey".
Pilgrims have sought to travel to places that they consider to be sacred or special and which they visit to show their respect for centuries. Initially pilgrims travelled to places of religious significance where the journey itself was as important as the destination. How you got there and what you experienced along the way was as important as reaching the destination.
In more recent times the pilgrimage concept has expanded to include travel to destinations that are much more broadly described as 'sacred'. Football stadiums and battlefields are now often described as places of pilgrimage.
People are looking for travel experiences that are more about the "journey" and which are linked to notions of pilgrimage. They want to visit to their ancestral homelands, to explore significant centres for food and wine or to walk across the battlefields where their ancestors may have fought and died.
Pilgrimage.com.au has been established with this kind of travel experience as its focus. It is a place to find tours and holidays that offer you the opportunity to undertake a pilgrimage of some kind. While many of the tours on offer focus on the traditional notion of a religious pilgrimage there are many other tours that offer a different kind of pilgrimage experience.
No matter what your personal definition of pilgrimage is, at www.pilgrimage.com.au you will be able to find or create a special journey that enables you to show your respect to that which you consider sacred.
