2016 a holy year?

I heard the pope has declared 2016 to be a holy year. Will this mean a big increase in number of walkers on the Camino?

The pope has declared a Holy Year of Mercy which ends on November 8, 2016. The "official" place of pilgrimage is Rome. The Holy doors in the four Roman Basilicas have been opened for the pilgrims to pass through (they're usually only opened in the ordinary Holy Years). I imagine it wont affect the Camino much. http://cathnews.co.nz/2015/03/17/pope-francis-announces-jubilee-year-of-mercy/
