Discover New Horizons
Explorer Travel offers you a unique opportunity to run your own successful internet travel business using our proven successful formula. No experience is necessary!
We offer two levels of franchise opportunity:
- Ambassadors
- Consultants
Being your own boss in the travel industry can become a reality with us. Please give us one minute of your time to learn why this could be the best business decision you’ll ever make!
The Opportunity
Ambassadors sell a broad range of package holidays and tailor made travel just like any high street travel agent. As an Ambassador you will sell products from over 150 tour operators, almost all of the world's airlines, over 50,000 hotels and villas, car rental, airport parking and excursion, theatre and sporting tickets.
We will create and maintain your web site, provide you with training and marketing support and give you access to all the on-line travel trade technology you need to succeed.
As well as the above, Consultants operate one or more specialist travel web site(s) which we also create and maintain for you. The specialist site(s) can focus on any genre of travel you choose. You may wish to promote travel to one resort in the Maldives or sell golfing holidays in Myrtle Beach.
Our franchisees earn high commissions and enjoy a wide range of other benefits including holidays at cost for you and your family and membership of the exclusive Travel Agents Travel Club. Running your own company simply doesn’t get any better!
