How buying a travel franchise could give you the passport to financial freedom
Buying a travel franchise would be the perfect business for anyone who loves to explore the world and to help find and sell solutions to would be travelers or holiday makers. With the added benefit that many of the travel franchises do not require expensive stock or office space, as it can all be done from a home computer, providing you with job satisfaction and more time for you to spend with your family.
Here in the UK, we love to travel. The Office of National Statistics stated 70.8 million UK residents visited overseas in 2016. With these numbers increasing steadily over the last 20 years, rising from 42 million in 1996. With more money in the people’s pockets, we are spending more than ever on our holidays, with an estimated £43.8 billion being paid out on breaks abroad last year.
Anyone going on holiday, especially if traveling with children, understands the benefit of booking their trip with an experienced agent, one who can take the pain away from organising the board type, flight times, transfers and everything in between. And with the average holiday costing well over £1,200 for a family of four there is plenty of commission to be made.
So, what are the pluses of buying a travel franchise?
- The industry is huge - an eye watering £43 billion spent last year alone (2017). With that sort of market to tap into, it would take less than 0.0001% of the market to make you £43,000 per year
- You can work from home - travel franchises come with the support and experience of an established travel operator with the added benefit of being able to do almost 100% of the connection and the ability to sell your service
- Take the stress away - a holiday is a must have for most Brits and with you taking care of their needs and worries of reaching dream destination it can be very satisfying.
Remember that your travel business doesn’t just have to just cater for foreign holidays, the UK internal market is growing every year, with many looking to explore the beautiful island we call home.
Buying an established travel franchise, like Explorer Travel, can give you the know-how and training you need to start you own business, while still being protected by ABTA and IATA facilities, giving you and your clients complete security and peace of mind when booking their holiday.
Whether you’re helping people to make the most out of their holidays, home or abroad, the opportunity to join a travel franchise is rewarding and potentially very profitable.
Franchising is not a quick-fix solution or hobby. It is a serious business option and one that requires hard work, plenty of enthusiasm, dedication and business acumen. But the returns, not only financially, can be worth the hard work and effort.
