The Travel Franchise Franchise

Join the World’s Best Lifestyle Franchise and Britain’s Best Home Based Franchise now! 

Over the past 20 years, The Travel Franchise has developed an award-winning business model designed to enable anyone to become a home-based travel agent regardless of previous travel experience. 

The success of our 665 franchisees has won us numerous accolades and in 2025 we were named the Best Lifestyle Franchise in the World and Best European Franchise at the International Franchise Association’s Global Franchise Awards. 

In 2024 we were also voted Britain’s Best Home-Based Franchise and in 2023 we were ranked 10th best franchise in the whole of the UK, beating big brands like Vodafone (no.12) and sitting hot on the heels of prestigious food and beverage brands like Burger King (no.8) and KFC (no.6)!  

Hundreds of people now run successful travel businesses with us, giving them the freedom to do what they love and indulge in their passion for travel. We want you to work wherever and whenever you want, all while enjoying the lifestyle you love.

“I have been with The Travel Franchise for just over 10 years and it’s been an incredible journey. We love that we’ve escaped the 9-5 and can travel the world whenever we want.” - Susan & Ian, Travel Consultants since 2013

Send your clients on amazing holidays

Joining The Travel Franchise allows you to achieve a work/life balance. You’ll be able to choose where and when you work. All you need is a computer and internet connection, meaning you take your office with you wherever in the world. 

Whether you’re sending families to Florida or newlyweds to Florence or the Caribbean, we’ll make sure you have access to:

• 450+ suppliers and 45+ Key Trade Partners
• ABTA & ATOL protected holidays
• Access to deals the public never see
• £1bn in holiday-buying power every year

No travel industry experience required

98 per cent of our franchisees come from outside the travel industry - from a diverse network of backgrounds, ages, nationalities and skill-sets – the thing they have in common is their passion for travel, understanding of good customer service and a desire to succeed.

Backed by our unique infrastructure, world-class training and the team of mentors who genuinely want to see you succeed, you’ll benefit from:

• Full business support with your own website, social media and marketing materials provided
• Full tech packages, such as a custom-built CRM, booking systems, quote builders, commission tracking and payment facilities
• Comprehensive training and ongoing support every step of the way
• Invites to overseas company trips, supplier fam trips and conferences

You can even keep your current job or business

You determine your timetable. In fact, many of our franchisees start part-time and build their franchise alongside their existing job. We want you to keep your flexibility, autonomy and freedom to grow at your own speed – that way, you can start small and go big!

With The Travel Franchise in your corner, success is a given

We can’t wait to welcome you to our five-day online, live induction training course  – most often rated “excellent” on Trustpilot – and introduce you to your Business Development Manager who’ll stay by your side. We also organise intensive training experiences like our Elite Experience and Millionaire’s Retreat, hosted in luxury resorts in places like Cyprus, Dubai and Mauritius, where you’ll learn tips from business and marketing gurus, including our award-winning company founders..

“My first ever holiday booking was one week after the initial training. I needed help with the quote and my Business Development Manager helped me all the way through it.” - Deepkamal, Travel Consultant

With a team like this behind you, and such a network of help and encouragement, you can make your first travel bookings the day you finish training – as a matter of fact, most of our franchisees do just that!

We also organise intensive training experiences like our Elite Experience and Millionaire’s Retreat, hosted in luxury resorts in places like Cyprus, Dubai and Mauritius. You’ll learn tips from business and marketing gurus, including our award-winning company founders and brand ambassadors which include broadcaster Eamonn Holmes OBE,  Olympic medallist Daley Thomspson and TV presenter Hayley Sparkes (pictured below).

Your franchise could be completely free

With The Travel Franchise, you can start immediately with a one-off investment. We don’t bamboozle you with a string of hidden costs. Plus, with our unique Money-Back Challenge, you can even earn your fee back on our most popular Elite package – so the investment will cost you absolutely nothing at all! Five people did this in January 2025!

You choose your investment

We offer a range of investments to new franchisees, from our “Lite” package at £2,995 (+VAT), all the way to the “Entrepreneurial” level at £29,995 (+VAT). Our most popular package is our Elite package costing £14,995 (+VAT). 

Whichever you choose, you’ll have all the tools you need to start straight away – it just depends how far and how big you want to go.

“12 months in I still cannot believe the value you get. The training, weekly calls, head office support, marketing support, the new landing pages…it’s all just incredible. There isn’t a stand-out highlight, I can only say it’s changed my life.” - Judy, Travel Consultant since 2019

But don’t just take our word for it: we’ve won Homeworking Agency of the Year more than 10 times.  We’re also members of the IFA (International Franchise Association) and QFA (Quality Franchise Association). For these reasons among many, you know you’re in safe hands.

The best part is, you can travel as much as you want!

We’re currently seeing an unprecedented boom in homeworking and travel booked through agents.  So, the next time you’re stuffed on a crowded commuter train or sitting through an unaspiring work or college lecture, remember where you could be: running your own travel business, in your own time, from anywhere in the world.

“Amazing, life-changing, fabulous, difficult to put into words. The training, the back-up, the wide choice of suppliers, being ABTA registered. It really is the best decision I could have made.” - Susan, Travel Consultant since 2013
