'Travel with Spirit' Delivers Inspirational Travel Tips and Resources for Christian Television Viewers

Huntington Beach, Calif. (Vocus) August 7, 2009 -- Travel Network Group LLC (www.travelnetworkgroup.com), a leading provider of faith-based travel media and resources, announced today the launch of Travel with Spirit, a new television show focused on inspirational family travel. The show is broadcast on network television and the web, and leads the industry as the first and only Christian travel (www.travelwithspirit.com) television show.

Travel with Spirit is produced by Travel Network Group LLC, the publisher of Travel with Spirit magazine and producer of Travel with Spirit radio. The Travel with Spirit brand has served the needs of Christian travelers, the fastest-growing segment of travel consumers, for three years.

"We're excited to have the opportunity to share exciting travel, mission and ministry content from all over the world, exclusively for the Christian consumer and group leader," said Honnie Korngold, creator, producer and host of Travel with Spirit. "We're the first show to combine the world of faith with travel, and we'll be sharing some really remarkable journeys that will touch the hearts of our viewers, and inspire them to embark on their own spirit-filled adventures."

Travel with Spirit is a faith-based, family-friendly television series that promotes exciting, inspirational travel destinations in the United States and throughout the world. With a keen focus on enriching experiences, the half-hour lifestyle series showcases places, cruises, tours and other travel products that bring Christian travelers' faith alive. Each show also features interviews from travel experts, pastors, authors and music artists, all with unique insights into the Christian travel perspective.

"The Travel with Spirit brand has helped evolve the general perception of faith-based travel (www.travelwithspirit.com)," said Korngold. "For many Christian travelers, their perspective has been limited to Holy Land trips and mission trips. Our goal has been to partner with travel industry leaders to share the most unique aspects of destinations that Christian consumers are familiar with, as well as open their eyes to the vast array of faith-based travel options that are available to them. Our new television show is just another way that we're able to successfully accomplish that."

Travel with Spirit viewers will experience the charm of European Christmas markets, the serenity of intimate river cruises and the excitement of Africa and China. Scheduled guests include Larry Ritter, president of Christian Holy Land Tours, Hyatt Moore, 'The Barefoot Artist', Ken Ham, president of Answers in Genesis, and Grammy® Award-winning gospel recording artist, CeCe Winans.

Travel with Spirit is currently broadcast on the Inspiration Network's i-Lifetv, Sky Angel's Angel Two, the NRB Network, and on the show's website at travelwithspirit.com. Past episodes are available for viewing in the show's archives, also on the site.

"We're looking forward to feedback from our viewers on their favorite episodes, as well as their ideas for future shows," said Korngold. "We're also thrilled about deepening our brand's relationship with leaders in the travel industry and helping them connect to Christian travelers and church groups seeking service-focused firms to assist them with their travel needs."
