The Travel Franchise, one of the UK’s fastest-growing travel franchise companies, has launched a low-cost low-risk package, complete with everything a person needs to set themselves up as a home-working personal travel consultant. The Travel Consultant Lite package is for people who want to build a new career or side-hustle around busy commitments such as a job or family life or who would otherwise be deterred by traditional entry costs.

With an upfront investment of just £2,495 + VAT, the Travel Consultant Lite package enables new franchisees to train as certified personal travel consultants and start earning unlimited income. With initial training now delivered via online classes, a revised monthly management fee and much-reduced franchise fee, the key obstacles people face when buying a franchise have been removed. 

No travel experience is required as full training is given. The Travel Consultant Lite includes a personal marketing website, fast-track training, booking commission, plus all necessary tools and technology. The additional monthly membership then covers ongoing support such as a personal travel coach, continuous training, marketing materials and valuable daily support through the head office and closed Facebook groups. 

The Travel Franchise co-founder Paul Harrison says: “The Travel Consultant Lite package has everything you need to get started as a travel agent. It means you can run a business around your other commitments, or simply try something new. This is a low-risk, low-cost entry-level package which makes a new career or side-hustle immediately possible – as well as opening up access to millions of holidays around the globe.

Paul Harrison continues: “Times of adversity change people’s mindset. The world of work has changed dramatically, with many people reflecting on their lives and recognising this as an opportunity to work from home while following a passion in travel and earning considerable money for themselves rather than for an organisation. With the reduced up-front investment comes freedom and accessibility; Travel Consultant Lite members can benefit from all the rewards of being a travel consultant right now.”   

With more than 750 people already having set up their own travel business, selling packages under the Not Just Travel umbrella, travel consultants can often earn thousands of pounds in commission each month. The Travel Franchise members have been busy, even during lockdown, booking holidays ranging from UK breaks to far-flung luxury destinations.
