How to Open a Travel Agency Franchise: Costs & Opportunities

For entrepreneurs eyeing the travel industry, opening a travel agency franchise can be a smart and rewarding choice. The appeal of a proven business model, brand recognition, and support services can make the journey smoother. In this guide, we'll look at differences between a travel agency franchise and a travel agency host, the advantages of travel franchises over other options, and important factors in selecting between travel franchise opportunities for your entrepreneurial aspirations.

Franchising in the Tourism Industry

First, let's clarify what travel franchising entails. A travel agency franchise is a business opportunity where a franchisor provides you with a proven business model, brand, and comprehensive support services in exchange for a franchise fee. According to travel agent resource company Host Agency Reviews, this fee typically ranges from $11,000 to $39,000 on average. The franchises on the higher end of this range typically require their franchisees to open a brick-and-mortar location, while those on the lower end allow franchisees to operate from home. One notable advantage of a travel agency franchise is that you retain all the commissions you earn, while some other models may require a portion of your commissions.

In contrast, a host agency is a different concept. It allows you to use the host's accreditation, essentially becoming a travel agent working under their umbrella. While this approach typically involves lower initial cost (usually between $500 to $2,000, according to Host Agency Reviews), you're responsible for developing your brand and business model.

Advantages of Travel Agency Franchises

Why choose a franchise over opening an independent travel agency or partnering with a host agency? Here are some compelling reasons to go with franchising for your travel agency business opportunity:

Proven business model: A franchisor provides a tested and proven business model that can save you time and effort in building your agency from scratch. The brand recognition of a franchise can also help attract clients more easily.
Comprehensive support: Franchisors offer a range of support services, including training, guidance, marketing resources, and ongoing assistance throughout your journey as a franchisee.
Established brand: A franchise with a reputable brand name is more easily noticed and recognized by potential customers. This can give you a head start in building a client base.

Qualities to Look for in a Franchise

As you begin your search for the perfect travel franchise, consider these important qualities:

Budget and startup costs: Assess how much you can afford and are willing to invest in startup costs, including the franchise fee, equipment, and supplies.
Marketing services: Evaluate the marketing support provided by the franchisor. Effective marketing can be the key to attracting clients and growing your business.
Support services: Inquire about the level of support services offered, such as training, ongoing guidance, and access to experienced professionals.
Perks for franchisees: Some franchises offer additional perks, like exclusive access to travel deals or discounts. These can enhance your value proposition to clients.
Franchise reputation: Research the reputation of the franchise. Look for any awards or recognition they have received and read reviews from other franchisees.

Selecting the Right Fit

Ultimately, choosing the right travel franchise is a significant decision that should align with your budget, goals, and aspirations. Carefully consider the benefits of a proven business model, brand recognition, and comprehensive support services. This foundation can set you on a path to success in the competitive travel industry.

As you explore your options, remember that your chosen franchise should be the gateway to incredible travel experiences for your clients. So, take your time, do your research, and choose the franchise that best matches your vision of delivering unforgettable journeys to adventurers around the world.

The Best Travel Agency Franchises of 2023 (Updated Rankings)

Last updated on March 1, 2023 by Franchise Chatter 1 Comment in Franchise Chatter Hot List , Travel Franchise

This annual list of the best travel agency franchises was revised and updated on March 1, 2023.

💵 Interested in any of the franchises on this list? Click here to find out if they (or similar franchises) are still available in your area.

Although the internet has made it easy for anyone to book flights and hotel rooms, there is still a large market for travel agencies, mostly focused on booking full vacation packages for people who don’t have the time or inclination to figure out all the details. By taking over the planning for travelers, agencies add value, reduce hassle, and draw in business. This is why cruise and travel agency franchises have a market size of $5.7 billion and employ over 29,000 people in nearly 11,000 businesses .

The Growth in Franchised Travel

Cruises play a large part in the business of travel agency franchises. This fits the model of these agencies, as cruises provide an all-in-one holiday package, the sort of thing that travelers go to agencies for. They’re also relatively high value holidays that can provide a good commission relative to the work involved in arranging them. There are so many options, even within the cruise industry, that it’s often hard for customers to figure out which one is right for them, and an agency can help with this. Travel agencies can obtain discounts on cruise bookings thanks to their relationships with the cruise companies, saving consumers hundreds of dollars per cruise.

These businesses grew an impressive 13.6% per year on average from 2018 to 2023 . Some of this growth came from trends that were already in place in the 2010s, as high consumer spending boosted travel and franchise agencies moved in to take a share of the market. Online agencies in particular benefited from lower costs that allowed them to offer better deals and make better profits. Ever since the mid-90s, travel agencies have been shifting toward an online, home-based model, and that’s an approach that really fits current times.

The tourism industry was badly damaged by the Covid pandemic. Strict controls on both international and domestic travel, fears about the virus, and horror stories about outbreaks on cruise ships combined to kill a huge portion of the tourist trade. Cruise ships remained docked in US ports throughout 2020 under a no sail order from the Center for Disease Control. Revenues for travel and cruise franchises fell from over $3.2 billion to under $2.7 billion in 2020 , a less dramatic fall than was initially reported, but still a serious blow for an industry that had been rising in value for the whole of the previous decade.

Revenues were initially slow to recover, reaching $3 billion in 2021, still behind where the industry had been pre-pandemic. More than half of American consumers put money away in 2020 to spend on things they’ve missed during the crisis, and tourism was part of that, but health fears and financial insecurities still held some people back. The future of the industry looked uncertain.

Prospects for Travel Franchises

Despite all the uncertainties and challenges, things have now swung the other way. Franchised travel and cruise businesses are seeing the greatest growth they’ve ever experienced, reaching $5.1 billion in value in 2022 and with their market expected to reach $5.7 billion in 2023.

This has clearly been driven in part by people getting out and traveling post-Covid. The economic recovery and the pent-up desire for travel have benefited the industry, and franchises have taken a large part of that. E-commerce sales are also important , as more travel bookings shift online, where the brand reach and marketing power of franchises provide significant benefits. This fits well with a working from home model which has allowed the industry to cut costs, and so to offer more appealing deals.

But while revenues are expected to grow in the next year, profits are expected to decline . Geopolitical tensions and ongoing health concerns still affect customers’ travel plans, while rising competition in the industry is pushing down prices and so profits. The prospect of an economic downturn could further impact the industry, as expensive vacations are something that consumers will cut back on if finances get tight.

Problems in specific parts of the world can affect some travel agents. For example, an agency with a focus on eastern Europe would have seen a lot of business lost in the past year thanks to events in Ukraine. It’s impossible to plan for every eventuality, but offering a diverse range of options can protect a business against events beyond its control.

Travel agencies are surprisingly low-cost franchises to purchase. The cost of entry is low, with little expenditure on equipment and training. This means that there’s also plenty of competition, which can create both challenges and opportunities. In current circumstances, this is an accessible option for a franchise, but one that holds potential for strong long-term profits if the tourism industry continues its current trend. Recent dramatic growth can make the sector seem very appealing, but before jumping on board, it’s important to ask, how sustainable is that growth, and how much of it will turn into profit?

The Top Travel Agency Franchises of 2023

1. cruise planners.

Cruise Planners is a work-from-home franchise concept in which its Travel Advisors sell all kinds of vacation travel packages, but with a special focus on cruises. Cruise Planners as a company has become a recognized master of micro-targeted email marketing along with its other high-tech, big-data-driven marketing tactics and technologies that give Travel Advisors the edge they need to succeed. In fact, its chief information officer, Brian Shultz, was once named CIO of the Year at South Florida Business Journal’s Annual Technology Awards.

Founded in 1994 by Michelle Fee in Coral Springs, Florida and franchising since 1999, the number of locations expanded rapidly in recent years from 1,172 in 2012 to 3,151 in 2020 but has since dropped back to the current total of 2,585 (down from the previously reported total of 2,659), of which one is company-owned and all are located in the US.

2. Dream Vacations

Dream Vacations is a spin-off from CruiseOne in order to make sure people knew they did more than just book cruises. Both travel franchise concepts are owned and operated by World Travel Holdings. The cost for a new franchisee without travel agent experience is just under $10,000, while those with a medium level of experience get a 67% discount and more experienced travel agents can buy in at a 95% discount.

Franchisees can literally work from anywhere with an Internet connection, and are encouraged to travel as much as possible themselves to keep their own knowledge and travel experiences up-to-date to improve their customer service. And franchisees also get to do their own travel at deeply discounted rates.

Founded in 1991 and franchising since 1992, the number of locations grew steadily from 909 in 2012 to 1,553 in 2020, then dropped to 1,489 in 2021, and has now risen to the current total of 1,618, of which none are company-owned and two are located outside the US.

3. Travel Leaders

Travel Leaders has a long history dating back to the 1800s. Wagonlit Travel was founded in 1872 by Georges Nagelmackers (who created the Orient Express) while Ask Mr. Foster was a travel agency founded in 1888 by Ward G. Foster. In 1979, Carlson Travel Networks acquired Ask Mr. Foster and in 1997 merged with Wagonlit Travel to form Carlson Wagonlit Travel. Then in 2008, a three-way merger with Carlson Wagonlit, Tzell Travel Group, and Travel Leaders resulted in the Travel Leaders franchise.

The company is known for going the extra mile in customer service – not only getting to know customer preferences, but also helping them through any and all issues or challenges that may arise during travel.

Founded in 1888 and franchising since 1984, the number of locations declined for a time and the last known reported total was 367 in 2016, of which 24 were company-owned and three were located outside the US. The company website claims nearly 7,000 “travel agency locations,” but it’s not clear what is being counted – individual agents or agency locations.

4. Expedia Cruises

Expedia Cruises , as its name implies, has a special focus on selling cruises, but also offers a full array of other travel services and vacation packages of all types. This company has the distinct advantage of carrying the well-recognized Expedia brand name. Expedia purchased CruiseShipCenters International in 2007 and eventually decided franchising was the way to expand it.

Franchisees can get involved as individual travel agents (Vacation Consultants) who can work from home or at the nearest retail location, or can select to run a retail location.

Founded in 1987 and franchising since that same year, the number of locations climbed slowly but steadily in recent years from 159 in 2012 to 269 in 2020, but has since fallen to the current total of 246 (down from the previously reported total of 253), of which none are company-owned and 159 are located outside the US.

What Are the Startup Costs?

Expedia cruises franchise owners need to have adequate savings while starting and continuing to build their businesses.

Expedia Cruises franchise owners should expect to invest between $197,050 and $328,745 to get their business up and running. Our startup costs are relatively low for a retail franchised business. There is also no inventory that you need to buy in order to start selling travel products to customers.

As part of the initial costs of getting your business going, you will need to have enough working capital during the first year to fund your lifestyle and expenses in the ramp-up phase. Delayed gratification is the name of the game for an Expedia Cruises owner because franchisees and their team of Vacation Consultants only start earning commissions once customers begin their travel. That means that if today you sell a cruise that departs six months from now, you and your Consultants will receive commission in six months once the trip commences. As your business matures, your team grows and your clients depart, however, those commissions begin to grow and are paid on a more regular basis.

Here is a detailed look at start-up costs, from Item 7 of our 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document:

These costs are outlined in detail in our Franchise Disclosure Document, which is provided to candidates later on during our mutual evaluation process. You should expect to incur these types of expenses as part of your initial investment from the day you sign the Franchise Agreement through the first 18-36 months of operating your Travel Business. However, the actual amounts of your expenses may vary.

Amounts shown are in United States Dollars and are based on our USA FDD. Such measures and experiences are intended for use in the USA only and are not intended to represent or be used for viewers in Canadian markets. Canadians may inquire about financial representations in accordance with their local franchising regulations.

Prior to the pandemic, travel-related jobs directly accounted for 6% of the US workforce, while travel-supported jobs accounted for 11% of the nation's workers. And with a bit of good fortune, the travel industry won't take long to get back to where it was in 2019.

Before the pandemic, travel was the 7th largest employer in the private sector and the largest small-business employer in the United States (that's travel-dependent leisure and hospitality). One in ten private-sector jobs were supported by travel, and the travel industry supported 15.8 million American jobs - that's planes, trains, and automobiles, people.

So, once we start moving about again, there's enormous potential in the travel franchise industry to once again bring vigor back to the sector.

The primary type of travel franchise is the travel agency franchise sector, such as Cruise Planners, Dream Vacations (formerly CruiseOne), and Expedia Cruises. And although these companies all contain "cruise" in their brand names, they cover more than boats - they provide access to air, land, and sea vacations.

Another popular travel franchise sector is the hotel industry. Nearly all American hotel chains are franchises, and while the costs of investing in hotel chains can be extremely high, it’s a fertile industrial sector to plant your money.

Franchising

People spend a lot of money on their vacations. On average, the American consumer spends 5% of their income on planning and booking their holiday. That amounts to an average of $2,400.

Of course, many people spend way more than that - but there's one critical metric that all consumers need when they invest their hard-earned money in a dream trip:

And one of the principal problems with small, independent travel companies is that the general public doesn't necessarily trust the small guys. They often opt for the tried-and-tested brands well-known for delivering excellent customer service and the best deals.

So, franchising is the ideal option for anyone hoping to get into the travel industry.

A travel franchise provides a ready-built reputation for excellent customer service and satisfaction. They offer instantly recognizable branding that affords immediate curb appeal, and they come with compliance with all the complicated and technical travel guidelines, regulations, and protections that consumers expect.

Travel franchise parent companies usually provide world-class training to bring you up to expert level - they have their hard-earned reputation to protect, after all. As well as training, most travel franchises also provide HR services that help you ensure that your business works in line with US business and employment regulations.

Facts About Travel Franchises

The travel industry is essential to the general health of the US economy, and many believe that the economy won't recover fully until the travel industry is up and running again. As the Travel Technology Association puts it:

“The travel industry is a vital facet of our nation’s economy, generating billions of dollars in revenue, supporting millions of jobs nationwide.”

But there is light at the end of the tunnel as restrictions ease and vaccine programs roll out. Analysts are already seeing signs that the travel franchise industry is recouping the $500 billion loss in travel spending experienced in 2020 and is once more on the path of steady growth.

And as consumer confidence returns, we’ll see international visitors return, bringing with them their keenness to spend their holiday dollars in the United States.

It’s easy to get glum about the prospects for the travel franchise industry, but - actually - there’s every reason to feel positive, making this a great time to invest in a travel franchise.

Travel franchises offer a range of travel-related services, from full package holidays to transport solutions. They give customers a wide choice of budgets and standards to meet their holiday and traveling wish list.

There are still tremendous profits to be made in the budget holiday offering, providing the lower-paid the opportunity to enjoy their vacation in comfortable, pleasant surroundings.

Of course, there are considerable profits to be found in the high-end vacation choices - from luxury stays in Las Vegas's most exclusive hotels to exotic American tours and - of course - fabulous holiday cruises on vast travel liners.

Franchising Vs. Independent

Franchising requires an initial investment, starting from around $50,000, moving into the hundreds of thousands for the most exclusive brands.

Most of us require funding from an outside source to gather the startup collateral for a travel franchise, and this is where the franchise model really does come into its own.

The majority of banks and moneylenders are keen to invest in franchises because they represent a minimal risk compared to small independent companies that are setting up without the support of an established partner.

Independent companies lack proof of the market viability of their business model, whereas travel franchises can demonstrate a history of profit and sustainability (even in tough times). Franchises have the support of an experienced partner who knows the marketplace and has already forged their products in line with customer needs.

Franchise companies tend to hit the ground running, while independent companies often struggle to survive beyond the first five years of trading.

One of the principal pain points for new indies is their lack of reputation, meaning that they often struggle to establish themselves in the crowded marketplace.

In fact, almost half of all independent companies go bankrupt before their fifth birthday as they struggle to recoup their initial investment and turn around a profit.

On the other hand, franchising is often considered the common-sense way to start up in business for yourself - taking on a ready-formed business model that has proven its market viability; with branding that future customers already know, love, and trust.

So, what is the cost of an MTC Travel franchise? Unfortunately, MTC Travel does not publicly disclose the cost of its franchise opportunities. However, the company does require that franchisees have a minimum investment of £25,000 , which includes an initial franchise fee, startup costs, and working capital. This investment also includes the cost of training and ongoing support from the MTC Travel team.

In addition to the initial investment, MTC Travel franchisees are also required to pay ongoing fees to the company. These fees may include royalties, marketing and advertising fees, and technology fees. The exact amount of these fees will depend on the specific franchise agreement.

While the initial investment and ongoing fees may seem daunting, it’s important to remember that investing in an MTC Travel franchise can be a smart business move. With the support and resources provided by the company, you’ll have a better chance of success than if you were to start a travel business from scratch.

Location: The cost of a franchise may be higher in areas with a high cost of living or higher demand for travel services.
Size: Larger franchises may require a higher investment due to the greater amount of resources required.

Franchise agreement terms: The specific terms of the franchise agreement can also affect the overall cost of the franchise, including the fees and royalties that franchisees are required to pay.

The average Chick-fil-A franchise makes nearly $9.4 million in sales and has one of the lowest startup fees

Chick-fil-A 's fee for a new restaurant is $10,000 – one of the lowest of any major fast-food brand.
Chick-fil-A restaurants average about $9.4 million in sales annually among non-mall locations.
Despite the potential success and low startup costs, franchisee restrictions might not be worth it.

Chick-fil-A is among the most successful fast-food chains in the US, with one of the lowest franchise fees of any major fast-food brand.

According to Restaurant Business , the chain booked sales of $22 billion in 2023 . That means most locations averaged nearly $9.4 million in sales a year.

"That's more than double a McDonald's, and McDonald's is no slouch," veteran restaurant analyst Mark Kalinowski said of Chick-fil-A's non-mall restaurants in 2023.

By comparison, McDonald's restaurants posted median domestic sales of $3.8 million in 2023, according to the chain's latest franchise disclosure report.

Despite its success, Chick-fil-A charges a franchise fee of $10,000 to open a new restaurant, and the company told Business Insider it doesn't require candidates to meet a threshold for net worth or liquid assets.

Those fees are cheaper than most other major fast-food chains in the US, including McDonald's, whose operators view Chick-fil-A as its biggest rival.

McDonald's, for example, requires potential franchisees to pay from $1.5 million to $2.6 million in startup costs — including a $45,000 franchise fee, according to the chain's 2024 FDD.

Potential Taco Bell franchisees pay the same $45,000 fee, and startup costs for a traditional restaurant range between $1.6 million and $4 million, according to the chain's 2024 FDD.

Total costs to launch a franchised Chick-fil-A restaurant range from $585,500 to $3.33 million, according to the 2024 FDD documents. In 2023, Chick-fil-A reported a range of $518,385 to $2.8 million, according to 2023 FDD documents.

Chick-fil-A, however, makes up for the loss of upfront capital investment with other costs to franchisees, such as real estate, restaurant construction, and equipment, which it leases to the franchisee.

"The challenge to becoming a franchisee is never going to be money," a Chick-fil-A spokesperson told Business Insider. "We seek to find business-minded restaurant operators who find great joy in making other people's days."

So what's the catch?

While Chick-fil-A's franchise fee is low, the ongoing fees are higher than those charged by many of its rivals, and they start adding up on day 1.

McDonald's charges an ongoing monthly service fee of up to 5% of gross sales, while Chick-fil-A franchisees pay a "Base Operating Service Fee" of 15% of sales and an additional fee of 50% of net profits.

Both McDonald's and Chick-fil-A charge rent, with Golden Arches owners paying a rate that starts at 8.5% but can be nearly twice as much if McDonald's development and acquisition costs are higher. Chick-fil-A, meanwhile, limits its rent charges to 6% of sales.

Beyond the unusual fee structure, several other items might give a prospective franchisee pause.

For starters, Chick-fil-A prohibits most of its franchisees from opening multiple units, which can limit potential profits. Franchisees must also devote their full time and attention to operating the actual business.

A Chick-fil-A spokesperson told BI in 2023 it selects "a relatively small number of franchisees to operate multiple units."

Franchisees are also prohibited from owning or working in any other fast food business within five miles of their Chick-fil-A location.

The company says this is meant to enable franchisees to be intimately involved in the day-to-day operations of their restaurants, and it encourages franchisees to be actively involved in the communities where they live and work.

"Chick-fil-A operators must be as comfortable rolling up their sleeves in the kitchen as they are shaking hands in the dining room," the spokesperson said.

Another issue that may be of concern regards franchisees' actual control over their business.

Franchisees are business owners by definition, but Chick-fil-A's FDD prevents franchisees from exercising a key benefit of ownership: selling the business.

No transfer or sale of a Chick-fil-A business is allowed, not even family inheritance in the event of death or disability.

Chick-fil-A also reserves the right to terminate any franchisee's agreement without cause with 30 days' notice or with cause for infractions such as subjecting the brand to "scandal," filing for bankruptcy, opening a restaurant on a Sunday or Christmas Day, or if operations are "frustrated" by labor union activity.

The application process

Chick-fil-A's model may be unusual, but it's incredibly popular and competitive. However, it's very selective, and more than 40,000 candidates apply to become a franchisee a year.

To apply, candidates have to submit a form through the company's website expressing their interest. From those candidates, Chick-fil-A selects between 75 to 80 new franchisees annually.

Applicants do not need previous Chick-fil-A experience.

"More than 40% of our newly selected franchised operators never worked for Chick-fil-A Inc. or at a Chick-fil-A restaurant before applying to become a franchised operator," the company's website said in 2023.

In addition to interviewing the candidates themselves, the company may also interview candidates' friends, family members, and business partners.

Once selected and hired, franchisees must undergo a multi-week program that includes about 160 hours of classroom training before they can open and operate their own restaurant.
