Voted the World’s Best Lifestyle Franchise
We’ve fine-tuned our proven business model over the last 20 years and now our agents are so successful they are winning industry awards. In 2025, The Travel Franchise was named the Best Lifestyle Franchise in the World and Best European Franchise at the International Franchise Association’s Global Franchise Awards. We have also been recognised as Britain’s Best Home-Based Franchise and our customer-facing brand Not Just Travel won Best Luxury Homeworking Agency of the Year (large) in March 2025.
No wonder famous brand ambassadors such as TV broadcaster Eamonn Holmes OBE and TV presenter Hayley Sparkes (pictured below with our co-founders Paul Harrison and Steve Witt) are backing our company!

And there’s real money to be made…
Our most successful franchisees aren’t rare cases: they’re earning £40k part time and over £100k full time.
Some – five in January 2025 - are even winning their Elite franchise fee back with our unique Money-Back Challenge. Simply earn a set amount of commission in your first year and you’ll get £14,995 returned.
Ready to follow your dream?
Despite the exclusive treatment, our doors are wide open to newcomers: almost none of our members have a background in this business, just a passion for travel and good customer service.
You’ll be in the business of making dreams come true. You’ll take away the stress of booking a holiday, so that your clients can enjoy everything about their trip from the minute they contact you. And you’ll get to choose your own hours and travel the world, too.
The Travel Franchise Announces Two Free Discovery Events in November, Plus Exclusive Black Friday Offer
Are you dreaming of launching your own home-based travel business, enjoying flexible hours and traveling the world? The Travel Franchise can make that dream a reality.
This November, The Travel Franchise is hosting two free Discovery events where you can learn more about how the business works, meet the company’s co-founder, Paul Harrison, and get all your questions answered.

Whether you're new to the travel industry or have some experience, these events offer a fantastic opportunity to discover how you can build a successful business from home.
Harrison, who has helped hundreds of individuals launch profitable travel businesses, will be at both events to share his expertise. Attendees will also have the chance to hear about the company’s exclusive Black Friday offer.
Special Black Friday Deal: Take Your Business to the Next LevelFor a limited time, anyone who signs up for The Travel Franchise's Elite package before the end of November will receive an additional spot on the overseas Millionaire’s Retreat — a five-day mentorship trip in a popular short-haul tourist resort.
Typically, Elite franchisees are entitled to two mentorship retreats as part of their package, but for this month only, new recruits will be able to bring a guest along on the Millionaire’s Retreat, sharing the incredible experience with a friend or partner.
The next Millionaire’s Retreat will take place in Turkey in March with several others planned for the rest of the year.
Many franchisees say the overseas training trip is worth the franchise fee on its own, and now, for a limited time, this exclusive offer provides even more value.
The Travel Franchise has gained a reputation for including some innovative strategies in its franchise packages – most notably, our incredible Money-Back Challenge. This is when Elite franchisees can potentially earn back their £14,995 franchise fee if they hit a set commission target in their first year.
In fact, three franchisees have already achieved this milestone in the last two weeks alone!
Jennie Mills, one of the recent franchisees to achieve this, successfully reached her target while running another business.

She attended a Discovery event before signing up and credits the event with helping her make the decision to join.
Like many of the Challenge winners, Jennie launched her business before the peak holiday booking season (January to March), when agents typically see a surge in holiday bookings.
“I love being a travel consultant. I love the flexibility it gives me – you can work any hours of the day you want. Nobody tells you what time to get out of bed. Nobody tells you when to start and when to finish. You really have got that flexibility – it’s great working for yourself.”
Attend a Discovery Event Near You
If you’re ready to take the next step, don’t miss out on these final two Discovery events of the year.
📍 November 27: Mercure Hotel Haydock, 7pm-9pm
📍 November 28: Sheraton Skyline Heathrow, 7pm-9pm
Who knows, this time next year you too could be celebrating having a successful travel business like Jennie - and getting your franchise fee refunded!
