We pioneered what is known today as online media, with the motivation to tell the story independently and always think out of the box. We love to support travel brands with a story to tell.
News publications and tourism leaders often use our news coverage to set trends.
We constantly research our well-written content and present it in an “out-of-the-box” style unique to us. It is well-positioned, with keywords for Google, indexed, positioned, good openings, and inclusion in social media and prominent chat groups.

News Tips (free)
We welcome breaking news, including tips from whistleblowers. We honor confidential information.
Breaking news covers eyewitness reports about an emerging situation, but never with the intent to promote.
Please DON’T TRY TO PROMOTE A BRAND, A PERSON, A RESEARCH, AN EVENT, OR A DESTINATION, and expect us to consider this a free service.
We may include community service messages.
Bloggers | Journalists
We welcome non-promotional content relevant to our audience. If accepted as a feature story, it will have your searchable byline. However, we are unable to compensate at this time. We invite journalists to join our advocacy, “Fairness in Earned Media.”
IMPORTANT:
Our editorial team works 24/7 to cover significant news developments. We applaud anyone who can assist.
However, when a PR agency is paid to circulate a story, this is almost always considered earned media, and we welcome such stories using our earned media options.
We welcome earned mediaas a paid service or as an appreciation for key advertisers, sponsors, and some partner organizations.
Our unique concept does not repeat already-published content; we often set trends that other publications and the industry follow.
We understand the importance of earned media in generating a positive image and reputation and a long-lasting effect on the supporting brand or destination.

We are not a newswire service, but because of this, journalists from other publications often pay even more attention to our content for use in their upcoming stories.
Readers from all backgrounds interested in travel and the industry behind it, follow our coverage. We work hard to ensure our content is easily found on most major search engines and news aggregators.
eTurboNews can target an audience based on country, region, global, and language.
News wire services andmatchmaking brokers for “travel journalists” promise free “pick-up” by bloggers, influencers, and news publications. This is usually a hoax, and the million-view coverage on inflated reports provided to their clients is based on invisible back pages of giant media outlets.
If picked up, it will create a real issue for any serious news outlet, such as duplicate content, Google downgrades, and irrelevant distribution of articles hardly anyone notices. eTurboNews concentrates on relevant audiences in the travel and tourism world.
TravelwireNews is meant for busy travel industry readers; its articles do not exceed 300 words. Once a day, a summary of all articles is emailed to 180,000 travel and tourism industry subscribers and posted to targeted social media.
Among all major travel industry publications, eTurboNews is number 1 with backlinks; all are 100% do-follow. We’re number 3 in linking to relevant story sources and 5 in overall news portal ranking. Considering 106 independent language sites under the eTurboNews domain, this ranking for some of our primary languages is likely higher.
eTurboNews is known for being timely, unique, and opinionated. It is among the top-rated travel and tourism news sources in searches and news aggregators such as Google, Yahoo, Bing, and Duck Duck Go.
The Importance of Search Engines
More important than having an article appear in a publication*(pick up) is positioning it in the search world. Push notification e-newsletters create short-term visibility depending on the number of subscribers and their interest in your content. Still, Google, Bing, Yahoo, and Duck Duck Go will decide the success of your story.
Therefore, our key focus is to generate the best possible ranking for any article or press release on all major search engines. We research content, headlines, excerpts, keyphrases, and trigger words so our posts can compete with similar searches. This will ensure increased and prolonged openings and a long shelf life. Links in such articles will increase visibility for the person the article focuses on. Many of our posts can be easily found even years after publication.
2,500+ local, national, and international media outlets. We will always ensure original coverage without destroying your reputation and Google penalties for repeat content among publications, bloggers, and journalists.
