Did you know that only 2% of Clergy have been to the Holy Land?
ETS will guide you on how to enter this niche market. By getting a pastor, priest, and other church leader interested in a program, you will likely be looking at a group of 30 or more!
Pastors and their church benefit from Faith Based Travel because those who travel:

- Give more to the church
- Are more likely to feel comfortable sharing their faith with others
- and more.
ETS’ products range from Holy Land tours, Journeys of Paul Cruises, Europe Tours, Catholic Pilgrimages, Women’s Retreats, Marriage Retreats, and Missions Cruises, as well as custom programs.
