Welcome to Christian Tourism Practitioners Association of Nigeria

The Christian Tourism Practitioners Association of Nigeria (CTPAN) is a dedicated body of licensed Christian travel agencies and professionals committed to promoting and enhancing Christian tourism in Nigeria. Licensed by NCPC, our mission is to provide meaningful and spiritually enriching pilgrimage experiences to holy sites worldwide, ensuring that each journey deepens the faith and spiritual connection of every believer.

CTPAN plays a vital role in educating Christians about the significance of pilgrimage to sacred sites such as Israel, Jordan, Egypt, Turkey, Rome, and Greece. We coordinate and facilitate these pilgrimages, ensuring that all logistical aspects, from visa procurement to travel documentation, are efficiently managed. By organizing seminars, excursions, and training for our members, we help them better understand historical and religious sites, enabling them to provide richer and more impactful experiences for pilgrims.

Our association is committed to maintaining the integrity and quality of Christian tourism in Nigeria. We regulate the activities of our members, ensuring that only registered and qualified agencies are involved, thereby safeguarding the interests of pilgrims. We also collaborate with government bodies such as the Nigerian Christian Pilgrims Commission (NCPC), providing expert advice and support to align with international best practices in pilgrimage management.

CTPAN is dedicated to the spiritual growth and moral reform of our nation. By promoting pilgrimages and spiritual journeys, we support the government's efforts in fostering national spiritual rebirth and building a just, equitable society. We encourage all pilgrims to embody Christ-like behavior throughout their journeys, continuously reviving and nurturing the spiritual values associated with visiting the holy land.

As an association, we also focus on building strong networks with similar organizations locally and internationally. These collaborations help us further our mission of enhancing Christian tourism and expanding opportunities for believers to connect with their faith through travel.

Membership in CTPAN is open to all Nigerians and individuals who align with our vision and objectives, regardless of gender, ethnicity, or political affiliation. Together, we strive to elevate Christian tourism, offering exceptional services that lead to spiritually fulfilling experiences for all. Through our collective efforts, CTPAN is committed to making Christian tourism a powerful tool for spiritual enrichment and transformation.
