Explorer Travel

We’re proud to be the only Travel Franchise owned by Hays Travel, the largest independent travel agency in the UK. Today, we have over 100 home-based Franchise partners who operate their own successful ABTA bonded agencies.

The Package

We’re excited to provide everything you need to establish a profitable business from ABTA bonding to websites and back office systems. No experience is required, just a passion for travel and dedication to making dreams come true.

Becoming an Explorer Travel franchisee gives you the flexibility and freedom to live the life you want, while managing your own successful travel business.

All of our franchisees earn high commissions and enjoy exclusive industry perks, including free overseas trips, holidays at heavily discounted rates, booking incentives and places on various travel events throughout the year.

We offer two bespoke packages that include access to over 400 trade suppliers, so if you have a client that wants a Disneyland USA Holiday, a cruise around the Caribbean, a safari in Kenya, a city break to Rome or an escorted tour around the far east, we’ve got you covered.

Training and Support

We’re excited to offer training and support under the Hays Travel Ltd. umbrella.

We offer a five-day induction training course delivered by a dedicated training department.

You’ll learn everything from how to use our systems, our booking processes, the suppliers we work with, marketing strategies, social media, and most importantly, how we make money and grow your databases.

Once you have completed our induction training course you are good to go booking travel for your clients but the training and support does not stop there.

You will have a dedicated Business Development Support Team of four people who are in place specifically to support your franchise.

You will be on a 6 week mentoring scheme with your Business Coach following the initial course and our whole aim is to get those bookings flowing and your business off the ground.

We also have a whole host of training modules, videos and events that you can attend (optional) as well as the ability to book specific help sessions with your BD team.

Whether you need help attracting new clients, assistance with your social media platforms, you would like to add content to your website or would like a business review, you can book these in at a time to suit.

We work hard to ensure you grow with us and establish a profitable and sustainable business for years to come. And best of all, some of our top earners operate this business around other commitments or lifestyle plans.
