Travel Franchise Opportunities for Sale

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.
