The Travel Franchise offers you a real chance to follow your passion and set yourself free from the 9-5.
There are twor flexible packages now starting from £2,995.
We’ll also give you:

You can build a travel business around yourself and your family, enjoying incentives and familiarisation trips and then sending friends on those same escapes – all with the shoreline just in view just beyond your toes.
And there’s real money to be made
Our most successful franchisees aren’t rare cases: they’re turning over £100k in eight weeks, £1m in three months, £76k in one booking, £340k in a year - the Success Stories are just a click away. And you’ll love our industry-leading commission: up-to 85% of your sales are yours to keep.
Our mentors and founders are with you for the whole of your franchise journey. They’re regularly on-hand at our 5-Star trips and events, investing time and capital into the business they love - including a headline-making £1m from January to June this year.
You might even meet our brand ambassador, former Olympian Daley Thomson CBE!
With that kind of support, many of our agents earn way more than they expected. Some – like Becky, Ross, Maureen, Ben, Suzy and many more - even winning their franchise fee back with our unique Money-Back Challenge.
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.
All this gives our franchisees the right to be confident: the trips you sell to your clients are more than just dreams come true, they’re part of a real-life partnership that cares about all the journeys we’re on.
Climate Hero Programme Flying High for The Travel Franchise
The Travel Franchise, along-with its customer facing partner Not Just Travel, works closely with environmental expert Mossy Earth to help create a healthier, more resilient natural world. Since launching last year, the Climate Hero programme has raised more than £30,000 for rewilding projects around the world.
The award-winning Climate Hero initiative asks customers to make an optional donation of around £5 per passenger when they are booking a trip. It has proved to be an overwhelming success, and actually a major selling point for many franchisees who report they have had customers donating hundreds of pounds.
Edinburgh franchisee, Mark McCardie, comments: “We have had a fantastic response to the Climate Hero initiative from all our clients. It is such a positive thing to be involved in, and just helps our business stand out even more. Booking a great holiday, and also doing your bit to help the environment, is definitely a win-win for everybody.”
Co-founders Steve Witt and Paul Harrison, who founded Not Just Travel and The Travel Franchise in 2001, could not be prouder of the Climate Hero project and say there is more to come as they have plans to expand their campaigns to support sustainability and socially responsible projects over the coming year.
Steve Witt explains: “The protection of the planet has to be a top priority, both in business and in life, but as a travel company it’s even more important that we battle climate change and promote more sustainable and responsible practice. With the help of our Climate Hero initiative, you can feel even better about booking that dream trip or last-minute break.”
Paul Harrison adds: “This is more than just a tick in the box to say ‘look we’re doing our bit’. We know that real and lasting change is needed if we are to save our planet. And it’s no secret that the travel industry has been a big contributor to climate change and continues to be. Rather than hide away from this, we want this initiative to inspire other travel companies out there to follow suit, as this is something we should all consider a priority.”
