ETS Tours Announces Last Minute Deal on Air-Inclusive Holy Land FAM for Travel Advisors

Leading Faith-Based Travel Brand Waives Late Fees Through October 30 in Response to Holy Land Travel Surge

 

LAKELAND, FL – October 22, 2025 – ETS Tours, the nation’s leading faith-based group travel brand, is inviting travel advisors to experience the Holy Land for themselves with an exclusive Familiarization Tour departing January 13, 2026, now available at a last-minute promotional rate. In response to the rapidly growing demand for Holy Land travel and a positive shift in global tourism indicators, ETS is waiving late registration fees for this advisor-exclusive departure through October 30, 2025.

 

Rates for this fully guided, 8-day immersive experience start at just $2,099 from New York or $2,199 from Miami, with the option to bring a guest, such as a family member or church pastor, for only $100 more.

 

“Travel to Israel is rebounding faster than expected, with the first half of 2025 showing a 16.7% increase in international arrivals compared to last year,” said David Welch, VP of Business Development at ETS Tours, referencing recent reports from Israel’s Ministry of Tourism. “As advisors and group leaders re-engage with Holy Land programs, we want to make sure they have every opportunity to see this sacred destination firsthand, with the confidence and care that only ETS can provide.”

 

A Familiarization Tour Designed for Connection and Confidence

Open to all active travel advisors, the January 2026 Holy Land FAM is more than a site inspection; it’s a spiritually rich and emotionally powerful introduction to the value of faith-based group travel. Travelers will visit:

 

     — The Sea of Galilee, Mount of Beatitudes, and Capernaum

     — The Mount of Olives, Upper Room, Western Wall, and Garden of Gethsemane

     — The Via Dolorosa, Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and Garden Tomb

     — Jericho, Qumran, Bethlehem, and the Dead Sea

 

Plus, participants will enjoy engaging worship opportunities, thoughtful teachings, and fellowship with other faith-driven professionals.

 

“Everything was excellent, and all the guests seemed quite pleased with all that we did,” said Mark McCready, a recent advisor who returned from the Holy Land with a group in September. “Even going through the checkpoints, we never felt under scrutiny. The pastor leading the group called it a once-in-a-lifetime experience because of the lack of crowds.”
