BUSINESS AT THE TRAVEL FRANCHISE CONTINUES TO SOAR DURING LOCKDOWN ADVERSITY

The Travel Franchise, one of the UK’s fastest growing travel agency franchises, has revealed demand for the business continued to grow in the last two years despite the grounding of the travel industry worldwide during the pandemic.

Incredibly, the business has announced that it took on 135 new franchisees during this time, very much proving that confidence in the industry was high even though the majority of travellers remained at home.

The Travel Franchise 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.

Jenny Farenden, Head of Franchise Marketing at The Travel Franchise explains: “We are one of the lowest risk franchises in the market and the last two years has certainly put this claim to the test. As we all know the travel industry basically came to a stand still during the lockdowns, and it was a very worrying time for everyone involved in the sector. However, we always knew that travel would return and the number of new franchisees who signed up with us over the last two years shows that confidence in the industry remained high. To welcome 135 new franchisees to our Travel Franchise family during this time was a remarkable feat, and shows the level of confidence and trust in our business.”

Jenny adds: “The Travel Franchise gives people the opportunity to become a personal travel consultant by owning an instant travel agency business from home. No travel industry experience is needed, as all our franchisees are given all the training, tools and technology needed to succeed. The business has been designed to fit round your lifestyle and can be done on a part-time or full-time basis, with 99% of our franchisees working from home. The business model is simple, we earn as you earn, so franchisees leverage all our experience and skills and have the backing of a multi award winning and multi million pound company behind them. Our central team takes care of all the paperwork and admin associated with bookings so that our franchisees can focus fully on their clients.

“We ask all our prospective franchisees a few simple questions. Including, do you love travel? Do you want to become your own boss and get everything you need to start your own travel business, with uncapped earnings and work when, how, and where you want? Our franchise model comes complete with everything you need to start earning money from day one. Including initial training, ongoing support, a personal partnership mentor, millions of holiday choices, specialist travel agent software, marketing materials on-line and off-line, and weekly webinars.”

Franchises range between just £2,995+VAT to £49,995+VAT depending on the chosen package. In addition, if franchisees hit certain milestones they can have their franchise fee refunded in full. This can be achieved in as little as 10 bookings. The £2,995 Lite Package was initially introduced during Covid as a more affordable option but it has proven so popular that the company has decided to continue it.
