Short-term missions is part of this wave, as perceived by travel agents, hoteliers, transporters, health service providers, government bureaus, and vendors. Tourism ethics have been discussed in the secular literature for years. It behooves Christians to reflect on the ethics of tourism: How can we travel to the glory of God?
