Travel agency franchise – help

Jseeker

My partner and I have been looking for a business that we can run from home. We like the look of a Travel Agency franchise. One company shows very attractive profit potential but we are unable to find anything on the net to back this up. Help Please. Have you, or anyone you know had one of these franchises? If you have what is the real story? All replies treated in confidence. Thank you. Jo

i have just started looking into doing this too but im concerned that all the companies i have found so far do not look legitimate! If you find any good information with one please share lol! I dont want to scammed and would like to make a proper business if possible

I have seen these but my question is simple - why would anyone want to buy from me and not from Expedia Thomas Cook etc ?

Exactly, most people are savvy enough to do what the travel agents do anyway. If I were looking to go on a foreign holiday I would use flight-comparison sites to check the cheapest airfare, sites such as 'lastminute', 'laterooms' etc. to book my hotel accomodation and bingo!, 2 weeks in the sun for probably 20% less than a travel agent. Simples.

And how many tour operators have gone bust the last few years? Really doesn't seem worth the aggro and competition
