LAKELAND, FL – (October 2, 2022) – ETS today unveiled last-minute opportunities to experience the power and influence of faith-based travel at industry-low, travel advisor familiarization rates. Through these FAMs, travel advisors will gain keen insight into how faith-based journeys encourage and energize the Christian faith and create long-term loyal travel clients.
“By experiencing the revitalization that faith-journeys inspire, travel advisors will learn how such travels motivate large groups of clients to travel with them again and again. These opportunities will not be replicated in the near future, so it’s vital that advisors seize the chance while there is still room,” said James Ridgway, CEO of ETS Tours.
ETS has specially developed this range of FAM trips to show the grand diversity of opportunities available for travel advisors to sell faith-based travel … from a trip to Jordan, well-known for its Biblical sites, to a river cruise along the Rhine that features Christmas Markets, and beyond to a fascinating Egypt travel program that cruises the influential Biblical and cultural Nile River and includes a diverse land program, plus several more. Each of ETS’s FAM opportunities for travel advisors include special faith-based training benefits in addition to comprehensive itineraries per the Cruise and Land program selected. Rates start at $999 land-only or $1598 including air per itinerary details.
To further share the benefits of these distinctive FAM opportunities, ETS is holding a training and educational webinar on Wednesday, October 5, 2022, at 3 PM (ET) with a focus on these faith-based travel FAMs. Participants will also learn how to: sell faith-based travel, earn 15% commission – an average of 15,000 dollars per group trip (minimum 30 pax), receive 1 for 10 travel credits, and be a part of a life-changing experience for their church leaders and church members.
“Faith-based travel is in very high demand, giving travel advisors a huge opportunity to boost business now!” said Ridgway. “There are 380,000 churches in the U.S according to the National Congregational Study, and only about 50,000 U.S. churches have travel programs. We are here to teach travel advisors how to get their share of this niche, and these FAM opportunities as well as our training webinar are great ways to start.”
Travel Advisors can learn more about ETS’ upcoming FAM trips and how they can start booking new faith-based travel groups right away by joining in the webinar on October 5, 2022.
