Explorer Travel Franchise

Explorer Travel has been Franchising since 2005 and was the very first fully-fledged online Travel Franchise in the UK.

We offer all the tools you will ever need to operate your home/office-based ABTA bonded travel agency and with low start-up fees and ongoing overheads, we are all about keeping costs low and profits high.

Your package will come complete with a 4/5 day induction training course, personalised website, branded business cards, email address, access to all our back-office systems, 450 trade suppliers, PDQ payment gateway and all the support and advice you will ever need.

Following your ABTA accredited induction training course, you can start trading from Day 1.

We can show you how to market your business to maximise leads and generate bookings through tried and tested methods.

This is a truly flexible business that you can work around current commitments and lifestyle. We are all about creating that work-life balance that puts you firmly in control of your earnings whether you want to operate on a part-time basis or have this as your sole income.

And don’t forget, if you have a real passion for travel yourself, the perks are endless. Your personal holidays are up to 50% off, free overseas educational trip opportunities, discounted car hire, attraction tickets, and much more.

Everything that you sell will be financially protected for your client’s peace of mind and with access to thousands and thousands of travel products, you can find holidays to suit every client’s requirements and budget.

If you have a real passion for travel, a sales or customer service background, and the motivation to succeed, you can build a real and sustainable business with uncapped earning potential.

Explorer Travel Testimonials

“Since buying my Franchise in 2012 it has been hard work but it has paid off and I now have a thriving business.

However, I couldn’t have done it without the amazing help, support and at times humour from our marvellous Admin girls. Veritable fonts of knowledge and always ready to assist.”

Jane Walsh

“Joining Explorer Travel 9 years ago was the best decision I ever made. I am able to do a job I love so much, for a company that I am so passionate about, with people that are like my family.

I have a great ‘work / life’ balance, which enables me to be a mother to my son and work school hours.

I have also helped with training new franchisees over the last few years and seen some wonderful success stories come from this.. Thank you Explorer Travel for everything.”

Vicky Evans

“With a great support from the management team, exclusive agency offers and discounts, training programs and roadshows, it’s easy to be an Explorer”

Agne Salne

“I love being an Explorer as I am my own boss, learning about the world and being around for my children as they grow up.”

Bernie Trueman

“I chose Explorer Travel from a range of holiday franchises as they offered a more flexible package and a ‘can do’ approach.

This was a career change with a calculated risk as I had no background in the travel industry (except as a tourist!) and they were new to the online market though as I head towards my 14th Year it was most definitely one of the best decisions I have made!

The support from across Explorer is superb, the admin team are a second set of eyes looking after my customers and ensuring that everything runs smoothly and the technical guys excellent with fast turnaround times – top team and highly recommended!”
