For more than 28 years, eTurboNews (eTN) has been one of the travel industry’s most trusted independent news sources, reaching millions of readers and listeners in more than 40 languages worldwide. Our audience includes travel professionals, business leaders, policymakers, and decision-makers across the global tourism sector.
Through the eTurboNews Trust Network, organizations can share their announcements with this global audience through a clearly identified publishing platform. At the same time, eTurboNews maintains a strict separation between sponsored communications and its independent editorial coverage.
Our commitment is straightforward: organizations deserve a respected platform to share their news, and readers deserve journalism they can trust. Editorial decisions at eTurboNews are based solely on news value and journalistic standards—they cannot be influenced or purchased. This clear distinction between independent reporting and paid communications has earned eTurboNews the trust of the global travel and tourism community.

Travel News Live
Travel News Live is the eTurboNews Trust Network’s real-time publishing platform, enabling organizations to share news and announcements with the global travel and tourism industry. It is also the place where breaking news is published first, keeping readers informed as stories develop.
It is ideal for timely content such as:
- Breaking industry news
- Company announcements
- Executive and management appointments
- Destination and tourism updates
- Event news
- Product launches and other industry developments
Every Travel News Live post is:
- Distributed through our daily email newsletter
- Featured on the eTurboNews homepage for at least 24 hours
- Permanently archived
- Included in our daily news feed
- Indirectly indexed by major search engines to maximize visibility
Travel News Live is designed for immediate exposure, helping organizations reach the industry while their news is most relevant. For long-term visibility and in-depth storytelling, evergreen content is typically published as standalone news articles.
For major developing stories, we often publish the first update on Travel News Live before expanding it into a full news article. As events unfold, we may also add live updates to a story, allowing readers to follow the latest developments from a single, continuously updated source.
A $30 newsroom processing fee applies to accepted submissions. This fee is waived for stories independently selected and requested for publication by the eTurboNews editorial team.
Article Adoption
eTurboNews does not copy and paste press releases or third-party content. Every announcement and article is reviewed and edited to meet our editorial standards.
Announcements published on Travel News Live may be eligible for Article Adoption, which upgrades the announcement into a fully edited, permanently published, and searchable eTurboNews news article that becomes part of our editorial archive.
Article Adoption is available in two ways:
1. Travel News Live Announcement
A Travel News Live announcement may be available if independently selected by our editorial team to be developed into a full eTurboNews news article.
2. Existing eTurboNews Article
If your organization is already featured in an eTurboNews news article, an accepted Article Adoption allows you to enhance that article by:
- Removing the paywall so the article is freely accessible to all readers
- Adding one approved do-follow link
- Adding an approved quote or paragraph
- Adding appropriate keywords
- Adding one relevant photo or YouTube video

A $100 newsroom processing fee applies to accepted Article Adoptions.
