Travel Counsellors

Travel Counsellors is a travel company with a difference, one where the emphasis is on providing the ultimate customer service to each and every one of its clients.

Its customers have a close relationship with their own Travel Counsellor, who gets to know them personally and take prides in creating bespoke travel itineraries to suit their requirements exactly.

All Travel Counsellors work from home, linked via award winning technology to the company’s UK headquarters in Bolton and a support team of over 200 staff, enabling them to work the hours that best suit them and their customers rather than being limited to the 9-5 opening times of traditional high street travel agencies.

The award winning company now has over 900 Travel Counsellors operating in eight countries, all running their own successful travel franchises.

Last year the company launched a new and innovative franchise programme, the Travel Academy, which for the first time gives people from outside of the travel industry the opportunity to run their own home-based travel franchise and qualify as a Travel Counsellor, following the successful completion of a 12 month training programme. It has proved an unquestionable success, with people from a wide variety of backgrounds taking advantage of this ground breaking business opportunity.

Franchisees are given the highest level of training and business development support, including a two week residential course and home-based on-line tutorials, all carried out by experienced travel professionals.

They have access to award-winning technology and are trained to use the company’s tailor made booking system, which allows them to quickly and efficiently tailor make trips for their clients. They have their own personalised web pages, training and access to the Travel Counsellors online community via a sophisticated intranet system. Plus all newly appointed Travel Counsellor Associates receive a laptop and a full suite of marketing tools.

The company has now seen the graduation of a number of its Travel Counsellor Associates from The Travel Academy. These franchisees have successfully completed the dedicated 12 month training programme, running their own travel businesses from home, enjoying job satisfaction, flexible hours and more money, whilst being well-respected within the industry and doing a job they love.

The Travel Academy has been recognised by the British Franchise Association. Travel Counsellors ask Associates to invest a minimum fee of £10,000 to own their own franchise. This covers all training and set-up costs and the right to use the Travel Counsellors trademark and brand. The programme has also been awarded accreditation from the Institute of Travel & Tourism for its high standard of training and use of state of the art technology.
