The Travel Franchise leads from the front of UK travel franchising. For 20 years we’ve been giving people like you the tools to build your business and become your own boss from anywhere in the world.
How does it work?
- Take our “excellent” one-week training course
- Start selling trips and holidays from Day One
- Enjoy excellent terms with 450+ travel suppliers
- Find unlimited travel options for your customers
- Get insider deals, packages & prices the public never see
- Choose from endless ABTA and ATOL protected holidays
That’s just a handful of reasons we’ve been named UK Homeworking Agency of the Year six times and Best Travel Franchise in the UK by Elite Business Awards. It’s also why our founders were just recognised in the British Business Excellent Awards.
The Travel Franchise offers you a real chance to follow your passion and set yourself free from the 9-5.
There are two flexible packages now starting from £2,995.
We’ll also give you:
- A personal website and custom-made software & IT
- Around £3million in daily travel-buying power
- 40 years of goodwill as part of the Hays Travel group
- Ongoing mentorship from your Partnership Manager
- Social media, marketing and head-office paperwork done for you
- Any choice of hours to build your business the way you want
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.
The Travel Franchise voted one of the best in British franchising
“We are particularly thrilled because we are the only franchise in the travel industry to be included in the top 20! This is a massive achievement,” says Jenny Farenden, Head of Marketing at The Travel Franchise.
The EF100 is Britain’s definitive official list celebrating excellence in the franchise community.
Each year the official league table is announced in December with an annual guide published and distributed throughout the UK the following year.
Every single franchise is scrutinised by an independent panel of top judges who score entrants on core criteria that helps gauge their growth, ambitions and contributions made to franchisees and the community.
Farenden, who joined The Travel Franchise in January, said that 2022 had been a year of massive investment and growth for the company.
“In 2022 we have either won or been shortlisted for nearly 30 awards and we have invested over £1 million in technology and in recruiting travel experts who help our franchisees build their homeworking travel consultancy business.”
Farenden says its franchisees – who operate under its Not Just Travel customer-facing brand – are seeing the benefits of its investment, with some consultants recording extraordinary sales.
“One couple sold £1 million-worth of holidays in just one month,” she said, adding that October and November sales for the entire company had been the best ever yet.
“We really are enjoying a massively successful 2022, and the soaring sales suggest our peak season of January to March will be bigger than ever.
“We are urging anyone who is considering joining us as a new franchisee to get in touch as soon as possible, demand is very high and if new consultants join now they can train in time to take advantage of our peak season post New Year.”
The Travel Franchise is one of the UK’s fastest growing travel agency businesses. It enables people to operate their own travel agent business from home without the risk of going it alone, and unlike many of its competitors, franchisees do not need any travel agent experience or qualifications to join.
Franchises range between just £2,995+VAT to £49,995+VAT depending on the chosen package. In addition, if Elite franchisees (£14,995+VAT) hit certain milestones they can have their franchise fee refunded in full.
