India Pilgrimage Tour Seminar....

Recently i just attended a "How to Sell it Right" Seminar organise by the India Tourism Office. This seminar is about Spiritual Tours or Pilgrimage Tour in India...

Ven (Dr) K. Gunaratana give a brief introduction to Buddhist Pilgrimage Tour in India

India is the birth place and scared site of many religions.. like:
Hindu - The most popular and oldest religion in India
Buddhist - Buddha got Enlightenment in Budhgaya
Christianity - I'm surprise of the many historical churches in India
Sikhism - Their famous Golden Temple in Amritsar
Islam - The second most popular religion in India
Judaism - Jewish
Jainism - Sky Clan and White Clan
Zoroastrian - They worship fire
We were given some sample of itinerary of different religion's pilgrimage tour. I learn about the places of the scared places where pilgrimages will be interested to visit.. and it inspire me to work on a 9D tour package for Buddhist pilgrimage, covering places like Lumbini, Budhgaya, Kushinaggar etc... I spoke to Ven (Dr) K. Gunaratana during tea break, to have a better understand of the Buddhist pilgrimage's tour.
It is an eye opener for me and i do learn a lot from this seminar.
