Introducing Travel Counsellors
With over 28 years’ experience, we have proudly built up our business with the remote worker at the forefront of everything we do. Unlike some other travel franchises, we don’t have shops or offer a booking system on our website, meaning we are only successful if our franchisees are.
With each of our 1,900 Travel Counsellors working remotely since 1994, we’re proud to have pioneered the travel homeworking revolution.
Here’s just a snapshot of what you can expect as a Travel Counsellor:
- Total control to work anywhere, anytime and run your business your way
- Unlimited earning potential and no sales targets
- Proprietary booking platform, Phenix, enabling you to tailor-make itineraries
- Frequent winners of ‘best homeworking agency’ titles in travel trade awards
- Global community of 1,900 like-minded business owners
- Support with marketing, accounts, operations and much more from our Manchester-based support centre
- Ongoing training and development opportunities and a jam-packed events calendar
- Exclusive customer-facing myTC mobile app and desktop portal, that integrates with Phenix seamlessly
- ATOL protection, 100% financial protection and 24/7 emergency support for customers
- 5* Trustpilot rating and two-time winners of UK’s Best National Travel Retailer, as voted for by customers in the British Travel Awards
Being a Travel Counsellor has provided me with the opportunity to build my own business and I have achieved more than I ever imagined; building a £4 million business in just two years, expanding my team and taking on 3 full-time employees.
Travel Counsellors offers an extensive support network, fantastic supplier relationships, and uncapped earning potential. I can work from anywhere in the world, which gives me the flexibility as a 27-year-old to explore where I would like to settle, whilst also travelling as much as possible. It’s truly been the best move for me!
