At The Travel Franchise, flexibility is more than just a perk – it’s the heartbeat of how many of our consultants choose to live and work.
For hundreds of them, running a travel business isn’t about being tied to a desk. It’s about discovering new places, making incredible memories and still growing a thriving business – all at the same time.
Dale
Take Dale, for example. A passionate travel consultant and one of our standout success stories, Dale won our Money-Back Challenge. This initiative rewards Elite consultants who hit a specific commission target within their first year by refunding their entire franchise fee.
While many use the reward to pay off debts or invest in something practical like a new car, Dale had a different idea. He chose to use his success to fund a once-in-a-lifetime world tour – all while continuing to run his travel business on the move. Since leaving the UK in January he’s taken 74 bookings and in March alone, he managed to complete 21 holiday bookings while exploring Japan.
He didn’t miss a beat when it came to staying connected either, tuning in to our company webinars, sorting out a few airline cancellations and even attending a coaching session with his Business Development Manager, all from abroad.
His travels took him through cities like Tokyo and Osaka, across the serene beauty of the Japanese Alps, and under the blooming cherry blossom trees that Japan is so famous for.
One of Dale’s standout moments? Making a cruise booking for a client while riding on a Bullet Train, thanks to Japan’s impressively fast and reliable Wi-Fi, and bumping into a fellow consultant in Osaka – proof that our community really does span the globe
From thrilling days at Universal Studios to learning local recipes in a Japanese cookery class, Dale’s journey is a blend of adventure, cultural discovery and business success.
Chris and Becci
As crazy as it sounds, this couple have spent most of the year out of the country… but still had their best January ever in terms of holiday bookings! The travel-mad pair spent three months in South Africa with a few side trips to Botswana and Zimbabwe sharing their photos on social media to drum up interest. It clearly worked!
Dean and Simon
We always say our franchisees should see the world — but this duo will need a new passport at this rate. Just look at how many times they’ve left the country!
January: Quick winter sun in Lanzarote — and three bookings made.
February: Back to Lanzarote for a birthday bash — and they squeezed in six more bookings.
March: A scenic stop in the Lake District (one booking), followed by Miami for a Virgin Voyages cruise — and yep, three more bookings there too.
Their secret weapon? A laptop, a global Wi-Fi dongle, and a business they can run from literally anywhere. Now that’s what we call flexible.
“Our client base like to see where we are, what we are doing and also find inspiration from the reels we post on social media.”
Natasha and James
While this dynamic duo were living it up on holiday in St Vincent, they also managed to book a £13k safari and a £9k honeymoon – all before breakfast!
“Everyone has their own journey and their own reason for buying a franchise. It’s so important to remember why you’re doing it and what truly matters to you.”
