Long established faith-based group operator ETS Tours has officially rolled out the ETS Travel Podcast.
It premiers its first two episodes this week.
The podcast aims inform viewers about faith-based travel while providing travel advisors and group planners with the necessary tools to market this group travel segment and secure bookings.
The ETS podcast will be released weekly beginning August 27, 2025 and will be available in both video and audio formats on all major streaming platforms, including YouTube, as well as on Spotify and Apple Podcasts
It can also be accessed from the ETS Tours website.
Each episode will feature ETS experts, travel advisors, and group leaders as they dive into real-life stories, destination insights and practical selling tips.
Travel advisors can expect expert-led conversations, testimonials, and guidance that advisors can use to grow their travel business.
“While our webinars are laser-focused on educating advisors, this podcast is different – it’s built to be shared,” said David Welch, VP of Business Development at ETS Tours.
“It gives our travel partners a powerful new way to introduce faith-based travel to their clients and group leaders.”
ETS says it is ideal for advisors new to the faith-based travel space as well as seasoned group leaders looking for new inspiration.
“I can’t wait to share the stories and success strategies from our advisors, and to showcase the kind of experiences that keep travelers coming back year after year,” added Bethany Barbree, ETS Business Development Manager.
