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.
Travel Consultant Rachael wins Great British Franchisee Award
Despite suffering from the gruelling effects of undergoing chemotherapy three times a week, Rachael continued to book travellers their dream holidays. She took £400,000 worth of business in the first six weeks of 2022 alone.
The award, presented by whichfranchise.com, is considered one of the highest honours in the franchising world. It recognises Rachael’s incredible commitment in the face of adversity to both her customers and her business.
She set up her business through The Travel Franchise alongside her husband Colman. The couple began by running international trips for a social club before turning professional nine years ago. Since then, they’ve developed their franchise into a business with a multi-million-pound turnover.
Unusually in the travel world, Rachael and Colman offer 24/7 customer service, giving their customers their personal mobile numbers and even calling them back on a Sunday night if they have a query.
Co-founder Paul Harrison is full of admiration for the couple, saying:
“They are a walking, talking example of resilience and success.”
Rachael and Colman have a fantastic home officeCancer apart, their resilience was put to the test during the pandemic, not least when a £125,000 business trip to South Africa had to be postponed three times.
Rachael says:
“We worked tirelessly during Covid to fight for refunds and never stopped fighting for our customers. For us, this award is fantastic recognition for how we have worked incredibly hard over the past two, most difficult years.
Rachael also added that they could not have succeeded without the support of The Travel Franchise.
“However, we want to pass the credit on to The Travel Franchise. Our success shows that their product offer and business model works. There’s no way we could have built our company from scratch if we hadn’t bought a franchise. We have grown our business on our terms, at our pace, and now have a brilliant lifestyle.”
