The Travel Franchise offers aspiring entrepreneurs the opportunity to start a travel agency from home — regardless of prior travel experience. By following its award-winning business model and receiving ongoing support from the head office, you’ll have all the tools you need to become the go-to travel agent for your clients. And the best bit? You’ll be your own boss and get to choose the hours you work. You don’t have to work full time and you run the business alongside another job too.
Whether you're looking to escape the 9-to-5 grind, travel the world while booking holidays, earn extra income or boost your pension; this could be the perfect opportunity for you with packages from just £2,995 + vat.

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.
