💸Record-breaking sales and commissions…
Can January get any better for our consultants?

💎Well, it certainly did for Andy and Nikki who just joined our Diamond club, meaning they’ve earned over £500,000 in commission. In fact they’re well past that figure and their business is going from strength to strength!

So what’s the secret to their success?
Easy… partnering with the right franchise.

They started their travel business in 2017 with no prior experience in the industry — just a love for travel and a drive to build something of their own.
🛳️ Fast forward to today, they’ve carved out a highly profitable niche in cruise, with 45% of their business dedicated to helping clients book unforgettable cruise holidays. By joining our exclusive Cruise Division, they gained the specialist knowledge, supplier connections and marketing tools to dominate this lucrative market.

With over 400 happy clients and an average booking value that’s soared by nearly £1,400, their business is thriving.

🤝Andy and Nikki are proof that you don’t need prior experience to thrive in travel — you just need the right support behind you.

Are you ready to follow in their footsteps?

What happens when you bring together 530 consultants, travel partners, and industry leaders under one roof?
💥A weekend like no other!

Earlier this month 530 franchisees and travel partners joined us for our biggest and best UK-based Annual Conference yet, and we’re still buzzing with excitement!

😍From record-breaking achievements to industry insights from travel icon Dame Irene Hays, Chair of Hays Travel (the largest independent travel agent in the UK), the weekend was packed with inspiration and celebration.

Our travel consultants couldn’t stop raving about the conference, and we’ve captured their thoughts on camera.

We’re kickstarting the week with another success story.
🎉 Meet Sasha, our THIRD Money-Back Challenge WINNER in one week.

At the end of last week we saw power duo Ian and Richard, plus new mum Ellie celebrate that they had beat our unique Money-Back Challenge which means they get their £14,995 initial investment back! Now Sasha has now joined the winners club! And she did it all while working part-time alongside her recruitment job.

Sasha had zero experience in travel when she joined us, but with our award-winning business model and ongoing training and support everything is possible.

💸But it wasn’t all smooth sailing. Sasha hit a few bumps along the way but her BDM was right there to pick her up, motivate her, and keep her going. That’s what we do here — we’ve got your back every step of the way.

"My BDM had absolute confidence in me, which was amazing. When I doubted myself, she pushed me to get back on the horse."

And that’s exactly what Sasha did — and guess what? She secured a £70K luxury cruise booking.

✔️If Sasha can do it, so can you. She’s proof that with the right support and a can-do attitude, incredible things can happen.

🎉 Ian and Richard did it! And YOU could too...

After launching their travel business in May last year, this dynamic duo have officially achieved our Money-Back Challenge (MBC), which means their Elite franchise fee - £14,995 - is being refunded!

💸We’re the only franchise that offers this Challenge - quite simply, achieve a set amount of commission in your first year and we’ll give you £14,995 - which means you’ll not only have earned great money in commission, you’ll also have a thriving business and some extra cash in your pocket!

⭐ With no previous experience in travel, the couple proved that passion + our award-winning training = SUCCESS. In their first eight weeks alone, they sold over £85,000 worth of holidays and have now achieved their Money-Back Challenge in under eight months!

And here’s the best part... Ian and Richard aren’t the only ones celebrating! We’ve had THREE MBC winners this week, and we’ll be sharing their stories very soon.

Dreaming of being your own boss and running your own business but niggling doubts creep into your mind and prevent you from taking the leap?
😔Do thoughts like: “What if I fail? What if I can’t make this work?” keep you up at night?

Nikki knows that feeling all too well.
After 22 years in the NHS and six years as a Head of Special Educational Needs, she craved something different — something that combined her love for travel and her passion for helping others. But she also wanted support….

💡Nikki had the lightbulb moment following a chance encounter with some of our consultants who were driving across Europe to raise money for charity. We’re the headline sponsor for The Travel Trade Crusade the travel industry’s most adventurous charity event and Nikki had tagged along with her husband who organises it. After chatting to a group of our consultants (we had six teams enter the event which raised £63,000 for charity) Nikki decided to take the leap.

✔️In fact, choosing The Travel Franchise was an easy decision after hearing glowing recommendations! She picked our most popular Elite package, determined to build a thriving travel business and attempt to win our Money-Back Challenge where we refund your franchise fee if you achieve a set amount of commission in your first year.

If you’ve ever dreamed of starting fresh, just like Nikki, this could be the perfect time to begin your journey! Just chat to some of our consultants or read our Trustpilot reviews and you’ll see how much franchisees love us!

👋 Say hello to Joanne, who’s embarking on an exciting new chapter as a travel consultant with our support! With a background as a civil engineering business owner, Joanne was ready for a fresh start.

After thoroughly researching franchises across all sectors, she attended one of our Discovery events and left feeling inspired and confident that this was the right choice for her.

“When I attended the Discovery event, I came away with a strong feeling of “I can do this, I can make people's dreams come true and help them make forever memories with their holiday choices””.

⭐We’re thrilled to have Joanne on board and can’t wait to see her flourish in her new venture!

😔Feeling unmotivated working for someone else in an industry that’s dull and dreary?

Are you stuck in a job you don’t love, wondering if there’s something better out there? Imagine working from home, loving what you do, and earning a great income — all while helping others plan their dream holidays.

Starting a travel business with our support could make that happen, and there’s never been a better time to get started.
⏰ Here’s why: January to March, known as Peaks, is when the travel industry is at its busiest. Agents often sell four times more holidays during these months.

And if you join right now you can train and launch your travel business during the busiest time in the travel industry because our initial training takes just five days and the rest you’ll learn while you earn.

💸 Oh, and did we mention? Many new agents who start during Peaks hit the Money-Back Challenge, getting their franchise fee refunded (we’re the only travel franchise that offers this bonus!)

This isn’t just a dream, it’s your opportunity to create a life you’ll love.

🎉 What a weekend!

Around 530 franchisees and travel partners joined us for our biggest and best UK-based Annual Conference yet, and the excitement was off the charts!

💸We celebrated an amazing year in travel with record-breaking bookings, millions in commissions paid and an expanded support team that handled over 65,000 calls and emails with industry-leading response times.

⭐ Our keynote speaker was none other than industry icon Dame Irene Hays - Chair of Hays Travel, the largest independent travel agent in the UK. You should have seen the cheers as she explained why the travel industry is booming, why consultants are becoming the go-to for holiday bookings and how our company is outperforming the market.

And it wasn’t all work and no play. Our consultants found time to party in the evening, and even raised over £6,500 for Rose’s Way charity too!

✈️ The future is bright and we’re equipping our travel consultants with the tools to thrive, like the free T-Profile system for creating professional quotes in minutes (and typically costs agents £1,000 a year!).
