Since 1999, eTurboNews (eTN) has connected the global travel and tourism community through independent journalism. With approximately 2.2 million unique monthly readers and editions in more than 40 languages, our audience brings together travelers, travel professionals, business leaders, policymakers and destination decision-makers.
We turn tourism news into stories that give readers a reason to care. Our reporting, original features and clearly identified opinion connect announcements with the people, decisions and industry developments behind them. We explain why a story matters, giving readers context and organizations a meaningful opportunity to communicate their relevance.
For PR and communications teams, that means value beyond a publication link: exposure to an established audience, substantive storytelling and coverage worth sharing with customers, partners and stakeholders. Our publishing and distribution channels create opportunities for continued discovery through search, social media, professional communities and multilingual editions—extending a story’s potential value beyond its initial news cycle.
Credibility Comes From a Clear Distinction
Through the eTurboNews Trust Network, organizations can share announcements and sponsored content through clearly identified publishing options. Partner articles include relevant source information, and paid communications are distinguished from independent newsroom coverage.
Payment purchases an identified publishing service; it does not purchase an independent editorial endorsement. Newsroom decisions rest on news value and journalistic standards. This distinction protects readers’ trust and strengthens the credibility of the platform on which organizations tell their stories.
Pitch a non-supported Editorial Story to Our Newsroom
We welcome news tips, exclusive information, and story ideas with significance beyond promotion. Submissions compete for limited editorial space and are assessed for relevance, originality and reader interest.
If selected, the newsroom independently develops the story into an original eTurboNews article, with editorial control over its research, framing and publication. Independent editorial coverage carries no publication fee and cannot be guaranteed.
Build a Presence That Lasts
A single article can introduce your destination or brand. An ongoing partnership gives readers more opportunities to understand it, recognize it, and follow its development.
Our campaign partnerships connect relevant stories, launches, updates and key messages into a sustained publishing presence. Clearly identified partner coverage can support awareness, explain your positioning, and provide useful content for your wider communications—while independent editorial decisions remain with the newsroom.
Newswires: Beyond Press Release Distribution
Newswire services serve a useful distribution function. eTurboNews offers a different communications opportunity: a publishing platform with an established readership and a focus on stories people want to read.
A placement count alone does not explain who read a story or why it mattered. Our approach emphasizes reader relevance, editorial presentation and opportunities for sustained discovery. For communications teams, the value lies in how clearly a story explains their organization’s significance and how effectively it reaches the audiences they want to engage.
Tell a stronger story. Build a consistent presence. Give readers a reason to remember you.
