EST. 1992
In 1992 JDI Travel was born from both a love of travel, the understanding of a perfectly crafted world and a passion to connect the Church with Israel. Through time we have enjoyed seeing others experience the roots of our faith come alive, while also offering a vehicle to bless the Jewish People. Our passion is driven from years of expertise in combining personal knowledge of the Land of Israel, the People, and other Biblical lands. We offer some of the finest Christian tours at the industry's best values.
Our greatest achievement is being known as Israel specialists but there’s something for everyone. We partner with our clients to make their dreams become a reality and helping them write their global story. If you can dream it we’ll help you do it!

CHRISTINE MILAN
Christine Milan, an Italian Canadian, was born into a family of entrepreneurs and later married into a Jewish American family of business owners. Already well travelled, this merging heritage made global travel a natural course for the Milan family and helped to innovatively change the industry. Having forged relationships with like partners abroad, JDI Travel's Israeli based services soon became a beacon in Holy Land travel. Hebraic Roots and Messianic flavored itineraries to Israel, JDI’s focus destination, continues to reflect Christine's passion for the Land and the People there.
Over 25 years later travel services behind the green line are commonly enjoyed. Other related biblical tours complete the JDI Travel suite of travel products that include ministry opportunities both in the USA and abroad. Christine still enjoys directing JDI here at home with a hands on approach. Helping to fulfill travelers’ dreams remains the heartbeat and passion of this industry forerunner and this specialty travel company.
