Cruise Travel Franchise Opportunities in North America

A 2010 report, by the Cruise Lines International Association  indicates that about 50 million people in the U.S. and Canada are likely to choose a cruise vacation, over the next three years.  The report also indicates that cruise travelers, both frequent and first timers, have a very high satisfaction rate.  It’s believed that 90 to 92 % percent of cruise passengers make their vacation plans using a local travel agent.  With so much interest in the cruise industry, starting a travel agency franchise seems to be the most obvious choice for those looking for a successful career.

There are plenty of travel franchise opportunities for the interested.  You could choose a retail travel franchise, or a home travel business.  A retail travel franchise is one where the franchisor provides an in-depth training about cruise vacations so that you can start a fully fledged travel agency.  If a home travel business appeals to you, a good travel franchise agency will help you to start a business from the comforts of your own home.

Choosing which travel company to sign with might be a tricky decision.  Before you sign up for a travel franchise, make sure that the company has an easily recognizable name in the industry.  Also check if the franchisor has a tried and true system to train and support new franchisees.  People with little or no experience will benefit from the classes and seminars provided by an established travel franchise company.
