If you have been thinking about starting a travel business but have not quite taken the step yet, you are in good company. A lot of the people who joined us in March said exactly the same thing before they did.
March 2026 was our busiest month for new enquiries and new consultant sign-ups since last July. We could talk about what is happening in the world right now, the economy, the uncertainty, the general sense that waiting for things to feel stable might not actually be a strategy. But what feels more useful is to tell you what we are seeing from the inside.
People are ready. And they are choosing us.
What’s changed
The conversations we are having with people are changing. It is less “I have always wanted to work in travel” and more “I need to do something that actually works for me and my life.” People are looking for a real business opportunity, with proper support behind it. Something they can start without betting everything on it, fit around their family or their current job, and build at their own pace.
That is exactly what this business is built to be.
You don’t need travel experience or an office. You can start part time from your home. Monthly running costs begin from £99. And you are not doing any of it alone. From the moment you join, you have a dedicated Business Consultant in your corner, a community of people who have done exactly what you are about to do, and a team behind you that genuinely wants you to succeed.
The results speak for themselves
We know it works because we watch it work every single week.
Amy spent 15 years in financial services before joining as an Elite franchisee in mid-2024. Within 18 months she had booked over £1.3 million in holidays, gone part time in her old job, and then left it entirely.
“I love it,” she says. “I feel free. I get to travel and earn good money. This doesn’t feel like work. It feels like I’ve finally found what I’m meant to do.”
Jarrad was a qualified accountant in Wales. He completed the Money Back Challenge in six months, meaning his entire franchise fee was refunded, and had passed £1 million in holiday bookings by January 2026. He still works part time alongside the business.
“Now I’ve got a business and a part-time job that fit around my life,” he says. “It’s been life-changing.”
These are not the best stories we have ever heard, held up to impress you. They are recent joiners, people who were sitting exactly where you are now not long ago, getting on with building something that works.
“What keeps this job interesting is that these stories aren’t the exception,” says Jenny Farenden, Head of The Travel Franchise. “Every week we hear from consultants who’ve left careers they’d outgrown, built something around their family, earned back their investment, sometimes all three. Being part of that is genuinely one of the best parts of what we do.”
What else happened in March
Last month we also rolled out our most comprehensive training programme yet. New consultants get a stronger, faster start and because the whole network gets better when everyone does, we invited every existing consultant to attend as well, completely free of charge. Over 40 took us up on it.
We run new training events every three weeks to keep pace with demand. That is not something we say to impress anyone. It just tells you where interest in this business currently sits.
Why this is important if you are considering joining
The Travel Franchise has been voted best lifestyle franchise in the world by the International Franchise Association two years running, 2025 and 2026. We are one of the top ten franchises in the UK overall and the only travel franchise to make that list. We generated over £200 million in holiday sales in a single year. And the most common thing consultants tell us after they have joined is that they wish they had done it sooner.
If you have been wondering whether now is the right time, the people who joined in March were asking themselves the same question not very long ago.
There is no pressure here. Watch our Discovery video at your own pace, or join a free live TTF Hour webinar to see exactly how it works before you decide anything.
The opportunity is not going anywhere. But the people building the best businesses are the ones who started.
