The Travel Franchise,
Start your own travel business with the Best Lifestyle Franchise in the World
Start your own travel business with the company voted Best Lifestyle Franchise in the World at the Global Franchise Awards, an accolade we have now won two years in a row. With a low initial investment and the best support in the industry behind you, you can work from anywhere in the world, part time or full time, around your family and your life.
Founded in 2001, The Travel Franchise has become the UK’s number one travel franchise for people new to the industry. Trading under our consumer brand, Not Just Travel, we give you everything you need to build a successful home-based travel business, with full training, expert support and absolutely no previous travel experience required.
We are built differently to other travel franchises. While our competitors recruit experienced agents, we were designed specifically for newcomers. In fact, 98 per cent of our franchisees joined with no travel background at all, which is exactly why our award-winning training and mentoring sits at the heart of everything we do.
You will have a dedicated Business Consultant in your corner, access to over 450 travel suppliers, the buying power of the Hays Travel Independence Group and a proven model backed by more than 750 successful franchisees. Best of all, this is a business that fits around your life rather than the other way round. Work from home, from a beach or from the other side of the world, choosing your own hours and building at your own pace. And because we believe the best way to learn travel is to experience it, our Elite package even includes two fully funded overseas mentorship retreats, taking you to places like Mauritius to train, network and see world-class travel first-hand.
If you have ever dreamed of running your own business doing something you love, this is where it starts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Industry Strengths
Travel is one of the most resilient industries there is. People will always want to go on holiday, and they protect that spend even when times are tight, which is why the sector keeps growing through downturns and disruptions that would flatten other industries.
It is also one of the most accessible businesses to start. The model is home-based, the overheads are low and you earn commission on every booking, so your income grows with your effort rather than being capped by a salary.
And the timing has never been better. People are moving away from booking online and coming back to trusted, personal travel consultants who look after them properly, especially when something goes wrong. Demand for exactly what our consultants offer is rising fast.
With low entry costs, strong earning potential, established training and the protection of industry bodies like ABTA and ATOL behind you, travel is one of the most compelling routes into running your own business today.
Candidate Profiles
This business is for people who want more from their working life, whatever they did before. Here is who tends to thrive with us:
- Career changers ready for something of their own
- People from any professional or business background
- Anyone with no travel or business experience, because we train you from scratch
- People of any age, with no upper limit
- Those who are motivated, proactive and genuinely committed to building a business
- People who enjoy talking to others and looking after them
- Anyone with a real love of travel and a desire to share it
- People who want to be part of a supportive, ambitious community rather than going it alone
If that sounds like you, your background matters far less than your attitude.
